World is moving faster than a supercharged particle, so we\u2019ve gotta stay ready to drop. We don\u2019t even know who\u2019s stepping through the studio next. Song Machine feeds on the unknown, runs on pure chaos. So whatever the hell\u2019s coming, we\u2019re primed and ready to produce like there\u2019s no tomorrow.
