How the lead singer of Ripe propels people with musical decisions

Robbie Wulfsohn: The way that I write songs… I'm kind of constantly turning out subject matter separate to music existing. And I won't actually build a framework around a song until there is a rhythmic backbone to it. I love rhythm. I love the ability to propel people with musical decisions and being able to do that with voice is just fun for me. So I wouldn't say that I'm choosing words specifically because of the way that they bounce, but I'm also not writing the song until there's something to bounce along with. So ideally one kind of feeds the other.
