An album born of introspection<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n

In a recent interview, Will Smith talked about what prompted him to return to music after 20 years:<\/p>\n\n

\n

“It opened up a well inside me, a wellspring of understanding about art, pain and many other things I didn’t even know were there. After the Oscars, that spiritual exploration continued and awakened in me a need to share what I was experiencing.”<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n

Smith has also hinted that Based on a True Story<\/em> could be the first of three albums<\/strong>, which he described as “three seasons of a music series,”<\/strong> suggesting that his return to music will not be a simple experiment, but a new phase in his artistic career.<\/p>\n\n
