Further, he went on to add, “I had control over whether it was released, and at the end of the day-unfortunately for the world or, perhaps, fortunately for the world-I decided it wasn’t good enough to release it. For me, it’s all about the vocals, and although I like to sing and talk, the singing part just didn’t work out. I would have preferred to get a real singer.”
