Interview: Amerie, Singer and Songwriter - Page 6

Part of: The NUBIANO Exchange

As you grow in the business, some lessons you have to learn the hard way, I guess. In my eyes, your greatest original work was Because I Love It. Unfortunately, many of your American fans did not have the pleasure of listening to your last album, since it was primarily marketed and released in Europe and Japan. 

Oh, yeah. One thing I can say is internationally, I'm always so blown away by the love that I get. It's so wonderful to be able to go to a country where people don't speak a lot of English, but they really can connect with you through your music. It really demonstrates that music is a universal language.
