What do you think of the industry these days compared to when GirlSpice first launched?
When we first came out, the industry was so promising, it was all really exciting and we were just so eager, then it had a quiet patch and now I think we're starting to see those promising times again, I think this is definitely the best its been in a long, long time, and its times like these where it's hard to stay away from music because you just get so caught up in it all. Remember the days of Eventual, Talent Radar and Midnight/Mythic Records? Good times... take me back! No current label had anything on what those were like back then... they were huge.
GirlSpice once had a label called Spice Records which is now no longer running. Do you think that would ever make a return one day?
I doubt it, it had a good run but we're focusing on other things now and a label is so demanding, especially if you want to make a good label, it's a lot of hard work. We didn't do things small though! We had our own Spice Stadium for the biggest acts out there to perform in, we experimented with pretty much everything... I'd like to do something else though, but I don't know exactly what. Keep an eye out!
So, The Chaos Awards are coming up and you recently said you will be attending, will that be solo or with the rest of GirlSpice?
Yep! Me and all of GirlSpice will be there to see all the fresh talent that's out there at the moment, we've all been locked in the studio for a long, long time working on this record, so it feels like we've all kinda missed out on who's hot and who's not at the moment. (Laughs) But I'm sure it'll be a great show, I look forward to seeing everyone.
You may be a little behind on everything as you said, but who do you listen to on a regular basis?
I listen to a lot of stuff, and it really shocks people when I tell them who I listen to because they're like "But you're in a girl band? You really listen to this stuff?" and it's funny because I never really listen to pop music when I'm listening to something on my iPod or whatever. Reported Failure, Dead Roses and Suburban Sunrise are my main bands at the moment to be honest.
There were some very public tweets you and Ryan Ross Hernandez sent each other yesterday, what do you currently make of the whole situation?
You know, it wasn't until we started tweeting each other that I realised how bad the situation was, we really do know very little about each other, and that scared me a lot! I'd spent months with a guy for us to talk about pretty much damn nothing, it's as if we were only there for each other sexually, you know? (Laughs) But it's true, really true... that's the sad thing about it. I'd just like to get to know him this time and just talk through our past, I think we rushed into everything last time and that's definitely the wrong way to go about things.
So you're going to meet up as you and Ryan planned when he comes to London, are you nervous?
I'm not nervous... I'm more excited than anything because it feels like I haven't seen him in years, its been a while you could say, so to just sit down and talk is what I'm looking forward to. I won't lie, I've missed him a lot... and it wasn't until yesterday that I realised it. I wanted to tell myself that I didn't miss him though and that I'm fine. (Sighs) I don't allow myself to feel much these days, I just force myself to forget about it and focus on other stuff like work.
What do you mean when you say you don't allow yourself to feel?
I'm really emotional and when I care about someone, I'm really passionate about them and I feel like I wanna be around them all the time... but I've had situations in the past where... you know, my ex-boyfriend Jamie? It felt like everything was fine one minute and then the next it's like he just cut off all communication we had and I haven't seen him since, and it's like... (She takes a minute and lets out a deep breath, wiping a tear away) Not that I still have feelings for him or anything like that, because I think the way I've been treated is in no way acceptable, and that hurts a lot, you know? To know that someone could do that very same thing again hurts a lot, I guess you could say my trust has been battered quite a bit, I-I... I don't know, that's what it feels like.
Would you say it's hard for you then when it comes to relationships?
Definitely, sometimes I feel like it's not fair on the other person, and so I distance myself to try and force my trust issues to stop; and that isn't good. I'm working on that one. It takes time to heal from stuff like that, but I think I'm getting there. I'd like to believe I'm strong in that sense, and that I won't let one guy break me down, that's what I just keep telling myself.
So what is it that you want?
What I want? Sometimes it feels like I don't know what I want... I want a lot of things I guess, I think at the moment I just feel lonely, there's a feeling of emptiness that I have. I mean, I don't like to complain and sit here and tell the world that I have the worst life, because it's far from that. And it feels like I am complaining a lot by the way, so ignore what I just said actually. (Smiles) I just want a trustworthy person in my life, and I want to make more of an impact in music. So much to do, so little time, right?
