We met on a grey, dreary day at the Sutton Place Hotel, downtown Toronto. I thought to myself, thanks for bringing the nice London weather with you. When I arrived, there were camera crews and photographers setting up their wares. Stylists were buzzing about, explaining that they brought 2 racks of clothes and this UK star wanted to wear her own. hmmmm. diva? was i in for it?
She comes in, SO much smaller then i expected. clear braces and a homegirl down to earth attitude. I instantly like her. To break the ice, i present her a gift. a 1 Litre bottle of RIBENA- a black currant drink that was her dietary staple in the UK, but not available in the US. She squeals and gives me 3 big hugs. Very genuine. We spend the next 20 minutes blabbing about hip hop, boys cheating on you (and taking them back) and moving away from home while managing to squeeze in an interview.
lots of fun, love love love the album and i look forward to a live show!
