Girl Power

Had the pleasure of interviewing two awesome female artists in the last week. First of all was the brilliant Adele...who turned up with her little sausage dog Louis, who contributed to the interview with some comedy barking! She's so cool to interview-none of this media trained 'say what the record company want you to say' scripted answers. So refreshing after the likes of many, naming no names *cough* Duffy, Alexandra Burke *cough*, who actually only say what they're told to say. Adele is very funny and just very real and lovely! Am addicted to 'Rolling in the Deep'...

Louis the sausage dog...ruff



Next up was Claire Maguire. If you haven't heard of her yet she's tipped for 'big things' in 2011. You heard it here first! Even if i heard it from someone else....Just have a look at some of her videos to see why. She came in and sang live at 10am in the morning, which can't be easy, and has an AMAZING voice! You know someones a good singer when they sound better live! Reminds me of Tori Amos/Annie Lennox. Not a bad comparison! Cannot get her song 'The last Dance' out of my head...have a look at the video below (if you can sit through some pretty ropey filming!). I thought it was a love song, but turns out she wrote it straight after the death of Michael Jackson...nice tribute! Tis immense...have a listen...
