writing the songs

The tunes I wrote with Graham, I actually wrote before "Debut", and I saved them for this. I met him in 1990 ; that was when we were really sparking big time off each other, and for a few years we sent each other tapes, and then when I started doing "Debut" with Nellee it just became very obvious that it would end up as a very musical affair between me and Nellee. So I talked to Graham and decided to keep the other songs because they were just too different. So I saved "Army of Me" and "Modern Things" for this album, and then Howie has been one of my closest friends in England for over three years and that just kind of happened one afternoon. That song we wrote in an hour.
