He does not open his eyes, he does not go verse-chorus-click, onto the next song—he sits there and he listens to the whole record. And he says, ‘This is the best-sounding record I’ve heard in years; this is unbelievable.' “But, he says, ‘Nobody will buy it, because Paul’s 64 years old. People don’t listen to conventional music anymore, with real arrangements.’ And I thought to myself, this is insane; I didn’t want to argue with him, but I was thinking, how did Adele sell 27 million records of songs with real arrangements?” Margouleff continues, “And then he says to me, ‘Why are you working with old guys? You should be working with 20-year-olds, with your talent. You should be developing new artists.’ I said, I would be very happy to work with new, young artists—and I do—but I’m also not prejudiced.
