ROLLING STONE INTERVIEW

UserPostedImage

Rolling Stone: The song that launched you to stardom was released three years ago this year, “Baby Come Kiss Me, Come Hold Me”. Do you remember the feeling of getting your first hit song and where were you?

Tisha: It’s been 3 years! I can’t believe it’s been that long! [Tisha smiles]. I remember writing the song in my car. Then I remember going to the studio and once I got there I rushed in and recorded it. And I didn’t think it would be big but I knew it sounded great and I thought it was the best song I had recorded at that time. My label Spice Records at that time released it and I didn’t expect it to do well because I wasn’t the hottest artist out at that time and I didn’t really have a big hit. But when the single was released it just shot up on the charts and was in the Top 5 everywhere and I just remember feeling so excited and thinking to myself “This is only the beginning”.

Rolling Stone: When you first came out where you surprised you didn’t become an overnight success?

Tisha: In a way, but not in a way as well. I mean, of course when you sign your first deal the feeling is amazing and you think that you are gonna just automatically come out with a hit. But when you realize all the hard work you have to put into your craft and everything, that’s when it becomes difficult. I’m kind of glad that I didn’t become an overnight success though because I’m happy with the path that was given to me.

Rolling Stone: Now you have had a really chaotic year so far. You release your singles off the album, Two big ones I might add and your album was projected to be really big (in which it still is), But your first week sales stunned everyone and now you have many people believing that your record label, Junction Records is to blame. Can you elaborate on that for us and tell us where the situation stands?

Tisha: Well, it’s quite a long story that has been building up since the beginning of the year. When we received the funding to create the album everything was cool. But when it came time to begin releasing singles and the album and promote the album that’s when things began to go a little to the left. The label really wouldn’t give me any funding for promoting and handling the album so I reached into my own pockets and promoted my album from January to May. When it was time to release the album and the record label found out I paid retailers and networks with my own money they told me it was “Breeching of my Contract” and threatened to take out legal action on me causing all promotion to halt on the album and leaving retailers and myself unable to promote the album. This caused us to lose a lot of money; therefore we are now taking legal action against Junction Records.

Rolling Stone: Do you believe that they tried to cheat yourself and others out of money.

Tisha: I mean I didn’t try to cheat myself out of my own money, Like why would I do that? I would say though, I believe they tried to be a bit sneaky with their actions and were completely astonished when they were called out. Believe it or not this girl does have a brain.

Rolling Stone: Have you headed to court yet?

Tisha: My lawyers, representation from retailers and from the label first headed to court last week. But personally I haven’t yet. I am not expected to but if I have to I will. Most likely hopefully not though I don’t. There is too much fucking drama going on.

Rolling Stone: Many people have been lead to think that the Junction Records try to scam you, with your first week sales selling 173,000 copies, and only debuting in the Top 20 in most Regions, Fast Forward one month later, Reveal has sold 3.5 million worldwide.

Tisha: You know I really suck at math, but I think anyone can see something is wrong with that situation. It just doesn’t add up and something really just seems fishy about the situation. All we can prove right now is that many people including myself were cheated out of money and we are setting out to get that money back as quietly as possible. 3.5 million copies is great, I am happy with that number overall but I just want Junction to take responsibility for what they’ve done.

Rolling Stone: Do you see yourself continuing your relationship with them?

Tisha: I don’t know.

Rolling Stone: Onto happier news, you just released your video for your single, Intimacy.

Tisha: Yes! I filmed the video. I think my fans are going to be happy to read this. I set out to promote the single this week so you’ll finally see me on television. Hopefully Junction won’t sue me [Haha].

Rolling Stone: What shows will you be on?

Tisha: Hmmm, I’ll tell you one. I’ll be on Letterman on Wednesday.

Rolling Stone: Who are people you will like to work with?

Tisha: Ummm, you know I’m really enjoying Teen Titans, I love them. I think they are killing the game. I actually worked with a new artist on her new album but I can’t tell you who! I wish I couldm but you should be hearing something about that pretty soon. I’m loving Cherise and Dominic Brown.

Rolling Stone: I know you’ve been getting this question a lot. But do you plan on going on tour to support the album?

Tisha: Yes!! We begin rehearsals on Thursday actually. I’ve got my dancers and everything. But now where focused on rehearsing and coming up with a fresh and brand new show, something completely different from the I Am…Beautifully Human Tour. Our first date is sometime in October. But dates should be released soon.

Rolling Stone: So what’s next for the Reveal album?

Tisha: Just because there is so much fucking bullshit and drama surrounding the album doesn’t mean that I’ve abandoned my album. Reveal has reached critical acclaim so I could never be done with it. It’s too soon. We just announced that our next single is “Love on Repeat”. We just shot the video for that. And you should be hearing some news about that in the upcoming weeks. Also I plan on re-releasing the album with a couple of new songs. I should be going into the studio and recording some new tracks for the re-release soon. So I am not done with the album.

Cassie: I was referring to how she handled it. She could have been like "Oh that Junction records label did me wrong, I want my money back now and I'm going to sue sue sue until I get it!" but she didn't so I respect her for handling like a lady. :)

Tisha: Thank you Cassie. That means alot to me. It's so hard to get you point across when there are so many incoherent, not intellectual, un-intelligent jackasses out there.

Stephanie Fierce: Ok Tisha. This is the very same problem I had with you before on a friendship level. You're a liar. Your album release was scheduled a week before mine was, and then you moved it to the very same week as mine just for the hell of it. I think you're just trying to find an excuse for why your album flopped. I don't see how Daniel will ever consider doing this to you. And if so, Daniel began running Junction Records after your album promotion ideas were put into place. My album debuted at #3, which a a great position, considering I had no promotion, do you see me whining? Even if this is really important to you, you're a liar and I can't believe how far your willing to go and stretch the truth, so that people could feel sorry for you. Instead it's just making you look like a desperate bitch. Don't blame Junction Records for your album failures. 173,000 copies is more than great, especially in these times.

Tisha: Stephanie,Is your name Daniel? Like, you're really pissing me off. A real friend would be loyal and have the decency to ask me personally why I am making these accusations but instead you choose to verbally insult me (In my eyes). When you become in charge of my career then I will take advice from you, until go straight to hell. How dare you call me a "desperate bitch", no you are making yourself look desperate by keeping my name in your mouth. What I am saying is don't be untrustworthy, your the same person talking about friendship this and friendship that well be a real friend and listen to me when I say, Stay out of this one, It has nothing to do with you at all baby!!!

Daniel: So why are you whining and acting out like a little teenager. This is not acceptable, especially that Junction Records did its best to promote the new album. All promotion dates were cancelled by your team. Do you honestly expect me to sit here and watch you lie about the label nd bash it, to what we 'supposely' did to you. None of it is true. Matter a fct we can sue you for misleading information and trying to hurt our image. We rather just release you from the label

OOC: Just to let everyone know, this is all totally in character. Me and Tisha are not really "beefing" just in case you're all getting that idea. This will all actuallty play out with an upcoming roleplay.

Daniel: Well. Me knowing that Junction Records focuses more on underground acts, I guess I was just making a bold statement. Without having to cough :)
