Ilan Rubin On “Heart Mind Body & Soul

Ilan Rubin On “Heart Mind Body & Soul — “The thing is that the album was written as an album and then divided into these EPs,” Ilan says EXCLUSIVELY to HollywoodLife when discussing this project. “So, I then had to think about how the songs were going to live amongst themselves in this format of four tracks apiece, and then in the whole of 16.”

Ilan Rubin on Albums

Ilan Rubin on Albums — “There’s this weird thing going on. This is weird for me or people who grew up listening to albums, and I don’t mean to date myself or seem as if I’m older than most people are because I’m not. But I did grow up listening to albums, and releasing things piecemeal seems very odd to me, so this format for release that we stumbled across was kind of the best of both worlds.”

Ilan Rubin On Releasing Singles

Ilan Rubin On Releasing Singles — “If you’re a massive band and you have a song that you put out to radio, and radio’s playing it for months. Whatever you want to call it, that is living in the public space, and it’s present enough, but for the people who are into me and the people I’m trying to get to, I just don’t feel like one song is enough material.”

Ilan Rubin On Songwriting

Ilan Rubin On Songwriting — “What I write comes from what I’ve already written and not repeating that, so I’m just constantly looking towards something else that excites me, and even though this album isn’t completely on it, I’ve written five or six other songs that are recorded in between these last tours and they sound completely different. That’s just the way I’ve always worked.”

Ilan Rubin On Avoiding Genre

Ilan Rubin On Avoiding Genre — “I’ve never understood the desire to sort of pigeonhole yourself or say ‘okay, I’m a rock band, so I’m going to write 12 rock songs,’ or ‘I’m this, and I’m going to write 12 of that.’ I don’t do that, I’ve never seen the point.”
