Q.
How have you changed since you were in AQUA?
A.
I think I've grown enormously from when I sung "Barbie Girl".
Since I departed from AQUA, I became alone and had to stand on my own feet,
always working effectively to have a lot of people enjoy the music I made. So I
developed a resolute manner. It means
you got no other way but grow up, doesn't
it? Now for the first time I can call myself an "adult woman" - at
times, at least. And I'm very proud of AQUA that set up 20 million records.
Q. Was pursuing your solo career a challenge?
A.
It
was odd feeling at the start, for I had been acting in AQUA for as long as eight
years. At first I was so anxious, 'cause I haven't used to get into a lot of
studios with many different songwriters and producers. But it gave me lots of
strength and self-confidence. And, I had to show my ability all the time - to
write the music and words, - and show there's something I can do with my voice -
to prove myself that I'm not only a brassy-voiced pop-band-turned-singer.
Q.
Have your vocals changed because of the solo album?
A.
I
could do more tries on this album than those of AQUA. I can put out various
voices. I sang some like soul, some were smoothly, and some were like rock,
which is my favourite. Better drop a little whiskey in your voice - just in
voice, not in throat! - and put in your feeling when you sing, and it's
important to feel the lyric, too.
Q.
Would you explain the music style of this album?
A.
I thought it was important to put all my desires into this album. And I thought
what can put all the stuff together is the energy, and guitar, and my vocals. I
believe when you put Lene's music on, you can feel me there. I went to
a lot of
studios - LA, New York, Sweden, and Norway - and I believe I picked up many
tunes- You will see once you listen the album. I can say it's exciting album
that you can't predict what stars next.
Q.
What kind of music do you listen often?
A.
I love the energy of guitar. I listen to Life House and Linkin Park often. But I
was raised on classical music, so I love them too - I listen to every genre.
It's important not to be prejudiced, isn't it? So, to the
people who
say
they only
like one band, I want to say "Have
a
broader mind!"
Q.
Was the making of video for the single "It's your duty"
interesting?
A.
It was most exciting time in this 2 years. I had kept in studios for about a
year, so my energy was overstocked and almost exploding when I make the video. I
assure you would find me sparkling on it. And it's bit more naughty and sexy
than previous ones - the making was exiting at that point, too - Because
everyone required me for sexy video. I wasn't so enthusiastic for it, but after
I met stylist and director and heard "You got nice figure, you must show it
while you can." So I gave them OK. We made a compromise. We made a good
video, in which I had had enjoyable time. We made the video that is strong,
confident, and in a way womanly, and I have shown my own personality on it. The
video reflects me, but also the music does as well. It shows what my music
sounds like, so I think it makes good introduction for the album.
