Roy Woods shares his message with his latest project with ‘Rolling Stone’ — “This story isn’t just much of a love story—This story is more of a letting go story, I’m that guy story. I’ve learned about myself a little bit now. I’m in a new light for myself personally. F what anybody else thinks, this is what I know for myself now. I’m embracing and stepping into that confidently, unapologetically. It’s really just that letting go.. I’m moving into this new world and I’m not letting anybody play with me.”
