I can speak and understand French and I totally missed that part lmao

^ Agreed! And you know what they say.... every family has their issues. Do keep in mind that alcoholism can be pretty genetic as well and I'm not trying to be an arse but she does have Irish blood in her. The irish are well known for their drinking. I hope I don't come off as rude to anyone, it certainly isn't what I'm aiming for! xx She herself has admitted to being an introvert and being an introvert myself, I can say: we're very sensitive! We're very conscious and heedful of what people have to say about us. So I can imagine being in the public eye is much more of a difficult task. I just hope she finds her balance <3

LMAO

but wouldn't this theory then imply that she had a relationship with JJ? which is obvs impossible b/c he died in the 70s lmao. i think she references another cult leader, tho. Not jim jones imo.

^ Seems like it!!! Great find. ps. I love her laugh, it's so precious guysssss

Yes, where is that picture from? It seems to be from the BTD era, though, so I assume it's old!

In the pictures I posted above I see "6 June" So it's already out in France I'm assuming!

maybe it's simply because she's the oldest and she feels that this responsibility is simply expected of her?

Hey! There was some guesswork done in the thread about her cult/sect past, and about Ultraviolence [the song] being about the "cult leader"] this interview clears up the air for us! She certainly was a part of some kind of group at one point in her life. Thanks for this!

here are the images, my apologies!

Hello everyone! I have found another interview, forgive me if this has already been posted but I can't seem to find it anywhere else on the board. I've done my best to translate it from French to English! (Original Source here) PS: The "OP Notes" are mine, just to elaborate certain quotes. Q: Ultraviolence, why this title? A: "The juxtaposition of "ultra", which gives a certain idea of luxury; and "violence" which, to me, reflects the sound of the album really well — it's chaotic but also street music. [OP note: In other words, the album has a very laid-back and down-to-earth feel.], melodic and sophisticating. Altogether then, [the word] Ultraviolence also means that I've lived between these two states; in my private life, a serene kind of love; in my professional life, a lot of negative press, in my opinion... " Q: But sadness inspires you, no? A: "More so melancholy than sadness. This is where I've found amazing outcome, but I've also had many personal problems to overcome. I have a large family, lovely but complicated. I am responsible for my brother and my sister, who live with me. And I have some trouble moving from one world to the next." [OP Note: meaning, she has trouble finding balance between her personal and professional life.] Q: You have also had some traumatizing years with regards to your problem with alcohol? A: "Difficult, not traumatizing. You see.... I am alcohol-prone. In my family, we are all like that, through many generations. Drinking whiskey, it's in my genes! [laughs] As well as being a little off-the-wall." Q: How did you cope with all the criticism about you? A: At the time, I was disappointed. When you release an album, you think it will go unnoticed [by the public], meaning, if it is listened to, it will be appreciated, [but] I never truly predicted that many people would listen to it, and that so many would have such bad things to say about it! As a result that means I've never made a single declaration [about it] because I didn't know what to say." Q: Was it a masochist reaction? A: "No, a lot of the attacks came from female journalists. I spoke to them, I knew what they thought. What's happened to me is a product of what journalism is today. The articles describe more the reactions from the critics listening to my music, [rather] than [focusing on] the songs themselves." Q: Maybe it's because you like to take clichés and use them [appropriate them] for you? A: "Exactly! In an interview they asked me, 'why do you speak about Marilyn Monroe or Elvis? It's really so cliché!' But I hardly know it because I lived in my own world for a long time. For me I have an intimate relationship with these stars. I've read and re-read their autobiographies. Like the man in my video, who is my tattooer, Mark Mahoney; someone who is very important to me, who has changed my life. In the video, "Tropico", there are also kitsch clichés." Q: Your looks has changed, it's more rock... A: "They have criticized me, saying that I was fabricated, when I really wasn't all that different from any other girl. As a result, I tell myself that in showing myself more naturally, much like how I am in my life, the confusion will be less. At the same time, as soon as I want to prompt a reaction, I come across as the opposed, so..."

I am fascinated by this interview!! Does anyone know where I can find the original source with the original Spanish?

Brooklyn Baby

This song is just... amazing. Can't wait to hold the physical CD in my hands.

that's what it says in the bridge or....? (sorry if this sounds dumb lol)

Okay, okay hold on Maybe I'm wrong but I'm pretty sure at 3:35 in the song, that is a STAND-UP BASS being played! And I love it! Take a listen.

Me!

I can't think of three right now, but definitely Kanye West. His beats and her vocals???? Damn. Count me in.

At least not the ppl i know!

I think it's blonde, no? In a few younger pics I've seen, she seems to have blonde hair. So I'm gonna go ahead and say blonde.

I agree. As I've mentioned before, she has mentioned depression in other interviews (really old ones, c. 2011/2012) Depression never really goes away and you're left with only fleeting moments of happiness/joy, etc. I do think she lives with depression. I really do. For instance, in another interview she stated "I'm often depressed because I am different." Let's all send her a iittle love every day. Just tweet her random cute shit. It may seem dumb or really unnecessary to you but it could mean everything to her tbh

And besides, "he hit me and it felt like a kiss" isn't her words anyway, she borrowed that line from another song (which is fine).

Hahahaha, yeaaaah just noticed that :3 sorry lol

Yeah something along the lines of "thank you i love you so much" And ehhhhhh, I was at the Toronto show!!!! Wasn't it amazing?

I really can't wait to hear the UV version of Black Beauty. That song is really special to me I know a snippet of it is already leaked but I won't be listening to any of the snippets!! I must resist
