Adele to Rolling Stone "I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears."

Hello Live.Laugh.Love readers!


As many of our readers probably know by now, Jackie and I have been fans of Adele for quite sometime! If you are new to the blog, or are unfamiliar with Adele click here to read more.


I am so incredibly happy to learn that Adele is gracing the cover of Rolling Stone for their Best of Rock 2011 issue!  Nice way to redeem yourselves Rolling Stone; am I the only one still confused about the whole Snooki scenario? 


Moving on, the issue hits news stands this Friday April 15th! Inside, Adele talks about the ex who inspired her to pen material for her latest album '21' - which I'm happy to say has had massive success worldwide! In addition, she mentions her father, her weight, getting stage fright, and thoughts on female pop stars.


Here are some excerpts of the interview with Rolling Stone contributing editor Touré.


On her weight: "My life is full of drama and I won't have time to worry about something as petty as what I look like... I don't like going to the gym. I like eating fine foods and drinking nice wine. Even if I had a really good figure, I don't think I'd get my tits and ass out for no one."


Her thoughts on the image of pop stars Lady Gaga and Katy Perry, compared to her music: "I love seeing Lady Gaga's boobs and bum, I love seeing Katy Perry's boobs and bum. Love it. But that's not what my music is about. I don't make music for eyes. I make music for ears."

New.Music.Live And Emily Osment

 

Any experience at New Music Live at the  299 Queen Street West studio, is always exciting and unforgettable. It is a chance to sit and listen to great interviews of artists and groups, with hosts Phoebe and Lauren Toyota. The production team at New.Music.Live is more like a team committed to creating a great show for the audience.  When you are at the show, you get a sense of family from not just the hosts, but hype man Chris Ronchon, JP, Kwame, Brian, Kathleen, and countless others. If you love music, to dance, have a good time, and are in Toronto - Sinem and I strongly recommend attending a live taping of New.Music.Live. Be sure to follow them on twitter @NML.

Recently Live.Laugh.Love. got a chance to meet Emily Osment when she stopped by NML for an interview and performance. If you don't know, Emily is an actress and more recently, a singer. Osment had expanded into the pop music scene where she integrated the sounds of alternative indie rock. Though Osment is far from just an electro pop star; in her interview she mentioned to being fans of alternative artists as well like Damien Rice and Bon Iver.  During her interview, she talked about her new album called Fight or Flight. The album was released in Canada on September 28, 2010. She described the album as dance-pop, incorporating electropop with a little techno. Listening to her album her lyrics have a consist theme to it; love, freedom, and just living your moment.  Listening to her interview at New.Music.Live she gave details about the album, such has she co-wrote all of the songs, with several songwriters. In fact, more recently Osment tweeted about working in the studio with Marianas Trench frontman, Josh Ramsay; an indication that Osment has a strong and eclectic career ahead of her.

My personal opinion, it is very hard not to love this album. It has a classy, electropop to it. It is a party on a disc and a great listen. The album has met and gotten great reviews from critics. Emily was given praise saying her sound was like of a little star we know as Katy Perry.
