Tamera Foster: "The vibe of my album is very dark"
Quote:
“I did not plan to go on The X Factor. It was a very spur of the moment thing for me as I decided to audition a week before. The moment I realized that I might actually be getting somewhere gave me real motive to grow up,” says Tamera Foster. “I wouldn’t say that the show gave me a sense of what kind of artist I wanted to be, but it gave me a stronger backbone to be a performer.” It takes guts to walk onto the stage of The X Factor and belt your heart out in front of millions, but Tamera is no one to shy away from a challenge, despite the fact that she was only sixteen at the time. Mow, two years later, it’s difficult to remember jusr how young she still is. From the moment she sang her cover of “I Have Nothing” by Whitney Houston, she caught the attention of both The X Factor UK judges and its fans, even tough she had to take a moment to remember her lines. Her audition video has been watch over seventeen million times on Youtube. Just recently, she signed to Simon Cowell’s Syco records, and has plans for a full length. “My album has taken me almost two years because I was also finding myself as an artist…The vibe of it is very dark. I wanted it to come from a very genuine place and I felt like I could draw out the most emotion from the bad place I was in three years ago. I won’t go into detail because I’m sure the album can do that once it’s out there. If I had to describe my album, I’d say it is the sound alternative to a Tim Burton movie.”
As a young artists thrust into the spotlight, having your personal highs and lows played out in front of the world can be stressful. “I’m **** scared of having people look up to me and look to me for guidance, because I believed that making mistakes should be a free thing; no one should judge you for them.” She credits Missy Elliot as her icon. “I loved her when I was growing up, so crazy and comfortable with it, I always wanted to emulate her.”
Tamera is slated to make waves once her album drops. Talented, and possessed of preternatural intelligence, she is sure to go far in her career. “There’s too much ******** going on in the world today to be picking sides. I feel like the world needs to come together as one and help each other out.” It’s understandable why she shirks the responsabilities of being seen as a role model, tough her words of wisdom certainly resound. “As a female you hold so much power, you are beautiful, fun and stronger than you will ever probably realize.”
