I’ve heard a few people say you’re kind of like early Madonna. What goes through your mind when you hear that comparison?
They say that? That’s cool. I don’t think that I’m a pop star. On paper, I’m bad at being a pop star with the conventional idea people have. Madonna was someone who didn’t get put in a box. She changed and evolved. The second someone tries to put me in a box, I will do everything to rebel against that. One thing I don’t understand is how people want you to replicate your past successes. Being an artist should be about freedom and not just becoming one thing, because I think that’s terrible and boring.
She's not worried about everyone liking her album: "I hate the fact that there's an expectation for artists to play the same game on their next album. I liked the days of mass disguise and artistry where you can reinvent yourself like Bowie and Madonna. That's what I'm doing on this record and that's what makes it different to True Romance.
"Some people will like it and some people won't. So bring it on."
