On Beats 1 last night, Zane Lowe announced his Big Sean interview will take place on Wednesday 18th January at 6pm GMT. This is Big Sean’s first interview about his forthcoming album, I Decided., out in early February.
Big Sean on Dark Sky Paradise
“I knew my potential and I just feel like before Dark Sky Paradise I was not executing my full potential. I looked at myself and said, why do I feel like that? and I felt like that because I just didn’t put the thought and the process into it like I should have. Then on Dark Sky I did. I feel like Dark Sky Paradise was a blueprint for a lot of my future albums. It was definitely the foundation, it was the base of a house I’m building that I want to look back on 100 years from now and people to hear that.”
Big Sean on sacrifices
"As an artist you can imagine, you make sacrifices as an artist like putting your privacy on the line. If you’re a true artist you sacrifice your privacy, you sacrifice the stories of your life you’ve been through, you sacrifice all these different emotions and you put em out there but it’s for people to relate to it’s for people to help them get through their times.”
Big Sean on I Decided
"This album, this is my snapshot of what I’m going through right now, what I’m feeling like. I Decided. means so many things. I feel like life is all about the decisions you make. This is what I decided. That’s why I put a period on the end of it because this is definitive."
