Rossdale was recently at São Paulo, Brazil’s 89 FM, and talked about “I Beat Loneliness”: “I know that everyone (says) no one cares (about full albums anymore) and it’s (all about) these singles, but I think that if I like an act, if I like a band, I just wanna hear their body of work. I don’t wanna hear just one song. I’m a musician, so I wanna know what 12 ideas someone has, not just one idea. And so I’m excited for that. But I understand most people just listen to one song and move on, with so many bands. But (I’m) very excited about it.”

He talked about the inspiration for the album title, “The reason why I like that title — (there’s) a song called that — is because anybody who has a degree of melancholy in their heart, and it’s normal; sometimes you feel good, sometimes have a melancholy. And it’s good to be reflective. You can’t be smiling like a moron the whole time, like a maniac, so the idea of beating loneliness is that it’s impossible, because you can’t. But it’s beautiful ’cause the idea is that if you feel you beat it, it’s like a respite, and you’re not in that mindset. But it’s all temporary, because you come back and that sort of feeling can flood in. But I just like the idea ’cause it’s impossible.”
