like beyonce and adele, do you get their voice in your mind? >> yeah. if i'm not physically in the room with them, if you're with adele, you know, she's going to outsing anything i'm going to think of, but i'm always picturing their vibe. if it's a new artist, i'll ask them where are you from? what do you listen to? i try to channel that as much as possible. >> how do you decide in this is a side question. how do you come up with a song that's so good but you guys are on tour yourself. how do you just not want to keep all the songs for you instead of giving them away? >> probably 80% of the artists out there are female. i don't do a ton of rap music. i write for a lot of females. the lyrics, if you take an example of, an adele record like turning tables. it doesn't make sense from me. there are certain songs lately now the lines are blurred, and i'm starting

>> what about an album? >> i think it's fluid. if i get to the end of 2017 around christmas, and these ten songs that we've dropped make sense as an album, and we want to give fans something physical, then i might siefind art work, i'm not suppressed about it. >> you're traveling with u2. and you're going out. >> i love that you said y'all. >> that says oklahoma, y'all. >> y'all. >> what y'all doing? >> i sort of feel like i'm sitting around a table talking with you. i forgot this is tv. >> if you want to get me talking like this, i'll do it. >> we're going out with u2 in june. july, august, and asia after that. >> we're coming. >> can we go? >> yes. i'm going toex
