An artist you would give anything to collaborate with- Rosalia If not music , what would you have been doing ? - Acting
Most bizzare song you have sung / written in your life - Locomoco ( 2X Side B )
Most embarrassing stage performance - I had a major wardrobe malfunction recently . I do a kick at the end of the second song in my set and that kick tore my pants at the crotch . I had to sing with my legs together for the next 20 minutes before I could get a window to salvage the situation with safety pins . a studied subject right now that there ’ s so little thought given to making timeless music . The success of a song is constantly marked by its performance in the first week or 10 days or month of its release , on the views , likes and comments in that period . Everything around music has gotten so calculated and measured that there ’ s so little or no risk taking behaviour on most musicians ’ parts .
We know that most of your music is based on your own personal experiences . How do you feel when you are able to voice your thoughts through your music ?
Fortunately I haven ’ t written anything controversial yet except maybe As Far As We Get which is a song directed at the audience . It is honest still . Honesty is a beautiful device . It has the quality of at-taching itself to listeners instantly . I love that I was able to be my truest most honest self in these songs . Whether they made me look like a fool , a fierce woman or someone feeble . I don ’ t see any reason why I would stop voicing my feelings and thoughts through my music . There ’ s so much to write about !
You have a very nice texture to your voice . How do you maintain your vocal health ?
The texture of my voice is god gifted and I don ’ t do anything in particular to maintain it . But I do try to exploit it . Spending time on a microphone to understand my voice ’ s capabilities is a very healthy ex-ercise . There ’ s always more than one way to use one ’ s voice . As far as maintaining my voice goes , I ’ ll say what you ’ ve probably heard before - sleep well , drink a lot of water !
What can we expect from the Side B of this beautiful album ?
Side A just released , but my mind is already on Side B . The music on Side B is more rhythmic and the rhythms are the kind that make me groove . I am a huge fan of Afrobeat and you ’ ll hear it in Side B . Side B , is more Soul / Pop than it ’ s counterpart . All in all , it ’ s going to push the tempo .
