  After a long while, Rico Blanco breaks his silence about the main reason of having a self-imposed break for two years.

  Blanco said that he engaged himself listening to music as a creativity exercise and for the extreme joy it brings.

  “I was like a kid all over again. And because there wasn’t any pressure on me, I actually ended up writing more songs than usual,” he said.

  “It’s about me … the music scene in general. It’s the song that made me want to come back. I didn’t decide to come back and then write a song about it … I sort of stumbled upon it. And I thought, ‘Why not do this song with Spades?’”
