He said that nowadays, he really loves the music that he’s working on. The passion for creating, he continued, was something that he missed during his period of “doubt and depression” that “destroyed [him] in 2015.”
Once 2016 began however, Porter said the Shelter Tour and work with Madeon reinvigorated his spirit, allowing him to work on material that he could actually be proud of. In 2017, he said, he’ll be stopping by very few music festivals. For the most part, he’ll be working to death on everything that he started by himself in 2016.
What does this mean for fans? Likely tons of new music in 2017.
Read his tweets below, and keep your eyes peeled for new Porter in the coming weeks.
