I think, for every artist, the second album is the most terrifying one to put out because it can either boost your career, and everybody can't wait until your third album, or the second one is terrible, and 'He probably hit a plateau on his first one.'

Thomas Rhett

I'm a hip-hop guy, and the first time I heard Eminem was in '96. He was on a record with Shabban Siddiq. I was like, 'Who is this guy? He's dope!' First album came out: awesome. Second album came out: awesome. Third album, I was like, 'Eh.' He started to get really successful. He wasn't 'mine' anymore.

I think my first hit was probably '24 is a Rubberband Man,' which was my second album. My first project, it was very well received in the Southeast region, all throughout the South and parts of the Midwest. It was very well received, but I didn't get national exposure on my second album.

T.I.

My second album was written while I was on the road promoting the first record. I tried to take my personal experiences and elevate them to universal experiences, so that I wasn't writing songs about living on a tour bus or being on a TV set for the first time.

Kate Voegele

I struggled with the pressure of having the successful record after the first record. Second album syndrome. I'm living proof; it's very real.

Flume

All the songs that were written for that album are just all our first sophomore songs. So they're all from real life. Very sweet and very innocent. I think the theme of the album probably was just that it was our first record. ... Back when we were first making records, you didn't just make the music, you put a great deal of energy into the way it looked, and every word that was written on the whole thing.

Cat Stevens

I have to go into the studio to make my second album knowing I'm making an album. When I first started making songs I didn't have an album in mind, that's why a lot of them I like - I'm talking about how I haven't got a deal, how I'm living, you can never really top the first time, but we'll see how it goes.

Kano

I love doing third albums. A group makes its first album, and then the record company rushes them into the studio to make their second album. After that, they go, 'Whoa, wait a second.' They get a little more confident. They step back and say, 'Okay, now we're gonna do it.'

Jimmy Iovine

The second album is the hardest to write. It's nothing like the first album.

Theophilus London

The second album is the hardest to write. Its nothing like the first album.

Theophilus London

My first album was hip-hop influenced, and my second was more of a singer-songwriter album.

Mat Kearney

The hardest thing about writing my second album is that I had 20 years to write my first album.

Halsey

I really love 'Mr. Rager.' I know the first album is incredible, but my favorite Kid Cudi album is the second one.

Kyle

We had a nightmare on our first album, and went through two producers. I decided, on the second album, to take the money that we were supposed to use for pre-production, and we went into a studio and cut the album with no producer. We finished the whole thing without telling the record company.

Nuno Bettencourt

The album is a definite departure. I haven't written original material before, except for one song on my first album, but Elvis and I did six songs together on this one.
