Communication Quote by Arlo Parks

“When I started making my own music I was listening to people like Erykah Badu and Elliott Smith. I think I always gravitated towards slightly more understated voices because it felt like I could really connect with what they were saying. It felt more like a conversation.” quote by Arlo Parks — Download Open image
