Jessie Ware: "What's happening is very organic. Especially in the States. There's such a warmth and generosity towards the music. I'm never going to be a pop star like Lady Gaga. I'm never going to be that person as much as I'd love to have a dance troupe. I want to be a respected singer, with a ****ing good live show, and some really nice songs that people care about. It's been scary moving onto this bit, but now it feels really great. It feels great that these are my songs and I make all the decisions on them. I ask people's opinions, but it's my baby now. I feel like I've been getting away with it for a while. I'm always a bit surprised when people are interested."
I love that Helen drawing. If it does have something to do with ARTPOP, the skull is unsettling. I hope it's fun pop music and not ALL dark. But, I might just be reaching.
