Artists discuss the 13 records that shaped their lives

10. LowHey What

Everything about this album. I can’t believe that I had the privilege of going on tour with them. Every night I watched Alan and Mimi be in love. . I watched them every night, I don’t know why I did. I was really drawn to their music, and we played a lot of shows together. I’m so grateful, because I learned so much about love. Their music sounded like love, what love is. After having learned more about those two, I was like, "This is why I’m feeling that emotion."

I feel so sad about Mimi, because she’s such an inspiration, and I still feel really emotional about her. This album is getting to me, it completely changed my life. It’s insanely gorgeous music, otherworldly. I have tremendous gratitude and appreciation for it, I always will. They have touched so many people’s lives.
