Gary Numan chats to I Like Music

You have to enjoy doing it, otherwise, what are you doing it for? If making albums becomes really difficult, like drudgery, then you're probably in the wrong business or maybe you've done it enough and should get out and try something else.

ILM: New single Healing is out now (April 30th). The video is amazing (and scary)

[Gary laughs)

ILM: Can you give us your own personal description of it?

GARY: Well it came to me quite different to the way it ended up. When it arrived here, Ade had a vocal that he wanted to put quite near the end of it, and it was really quite slow. There was this big long bit at the beginning that I really liked and I thought I could come up with a vocal melody of my own for that, which is what's on it now, the way it that starts, it's the first vocal all the way through it, the one that I came up with, but then when Ade got it all back, he just had this brainwave of making it this big fast high energy kind of track and totally transformed it. I was amazed when it came back that this song that I thought was this relatively slow pretty song could turn into this high energy monster track. I love it. Most of my own stuff is relatively medium paced or slow and the way it just builds and kicks off half way through, it's brilliant.
