We love the genres that you combine to bring a unique lane of your own styling. How did you come to create such a striking sound? Do you feel that the music scene in your surrounding area influences your sound in any way?
Thank you! I think the type of music that I make is influenced by whatever sound reaches my ears. I love listening to various genres, from Amy Winehouse, Melody Gardot to Beth Hart, but I also very much love R&B artists like SZA, H.E.R. or Anderson.Paak. I think there’s always something to learn, no matter what genre. Although there is a growing music scene in Switzerland, I didn’t grow up listening to “local” music. So I don’t think it influences my sound, as I always looked up to international artists, mainly English-singing ones.
What moment or story inspired the creation of “Fool?” What does it say about you as an artist and individual?
The song is about a broken heart that didn’t break overnight. It was more of constant damage that took place until I couldn’t bear it anymore which lead to this song. I was very hurt, and the first time I sang the chorus it felt really liberating, and it still does every time I sing it. I think in the song you can hear two sides of me - a very fragile, vulnerable, maybe a little naive one in the verses, but also a strong side in the chorus.
In terms of themes and messaging, what are you hoping your listeners take away from “Fool?”
That even in the most heart-broken moments there can be positive effects. Maybe not in the first couple of days of course. But for me, after realizing the true intention of the other person, I wasn’t only hurt. I also somehow got to know a new type of strength that I hadn’t met before. Of course, it sucks getting your hurt broken, feeling „defeated“ and all of that. But there’s always something to take away from this kind of story.
How does this song compare to other releases in your music catalog?
I think it’s a very live-oriented song instrumentation-wise. I can’t wait to play this one with my band, the song comes from the stomach and will be performed that way if that makes sense? I’d say it compares the most to my song „Venom“, it has a similar taste I think.
