ORIGINAL STORY: Moving to Atlanta shortly before making 2016’s “American Prodigal,” Crowder became fascinated by the hip-hop scene, taking note of how those artists created songs and how prolific they were in the amount of music they released.
“It seemed like they’d blow out a 20-song drop every month. So I just started watching the process. I was like ‘Man, this is what I need to do. I’m going to approach the writing totally different than I ever have,'” the contemporary Christian music artist explained in a phone interview.
“What would happen is my buddies would go into the studio, and then there would be a guy who has made a bunch of beats (the track guy). He’d start scrolling through beats and be like, ‘Hey, are you feeling this?’ And they’d nod along and all of a sudden something would change in the room. You’d connect with it. They’d be in the vocal booth and (before you knew it), there would be your next song. It would take no time at all because you’ve got the beat; you just do a little arranging and there it is, out the door.”
