(The whole room begins to clap) Believe it or not she's actually here to do her very first live lounge, she just recently did her appearance at the Jonathan Ross Show where she did an amazing rendition of her smash hit single "Bless Me" which went #1 on the UK Singles chart three weeks ago. She is on fire! Before the show begins , we've been taking questions from fans and want to go ahead and talk about a few thing and of course that amazing new album "The Past, The Present and The Future of Pop Volume 2" which is set to hit stores October 13, here in the UK. Please give it up for...Mrs. Fierce (People cheer as Fierce gets comfortable in her chair as she had just arrived to the studio) Stephanie Fierce: Hello everyone! Thank you so so so much! I'm doing great! Can I just say Fearne, I love you I'm like a huge fan of yours, when I'm the UK, I turn on the radio just for you! You are amazing! I just... (Shakes head) Fearne Cotton: Well, excuse me while I go into cardiac arrest! (laughter is head in the background) Wow thank you, you are so sweet, I can't even like have proper words to respond to that wonderful compliment. Honestly, I am honored for you to say that, thank you, thank you. So lets me just put myself together here, anyways (laughs) How have you been? I know you've been in the UK the past few days, so it's been mayhem for you because you haven't been here in a while, correct? Stephanie Fierce: Correct! I'm like really close to buying a house here and making this my second home, if you guys keep it up! (laughs) Honestly though, I mean I do own a private studio and business home here, so every time I come it's nothing but love and being that I haven't been here in a while and all of this love is being shown, I can't help but just keep reminding myself that years back I would of never though of this happening and I'm so blessed to be in the position that I am in. Even all these years into my career, It always shocks me the reception I receive, good or bad, it's just amazing to me! Fearne Cotton: People always wonder and even I always wonder, how do you keep yourself grounded from it all? Stephanie Fierce: It's all about staying humble and true to yourself, so far I'm just sinking it all in, the love from everyone I just feel honored to even be here! But I think that life is about living in your own terms and that's what I've been doing as of late. I've been focusing on more positive things and expressing myself through my music and just kind of living in that vibe. So my music is what keeps me grounded. It's a way for me to express myself in a form where it can also entertain people and hopefully even touch them as well. Fearne Cotton: Perfectly said! We have definitely certainly seen that and of course you have a new album coming out very soon, so you must be on some sort of high from all of this. It's been mayhem just from our end so we could only imagine. Stephanie Fierce: I certainly am. I been all over the place, I am actually this week alone I"m doing so many stops, but I love the adrenaline I get from it all, it's fun and it's time to actually start you know promoting for this record and just giving it life, I"m really excited for what's coming ahead. We are keeping somethings a surprise because it's a lot and we don't want overwhelm people with it. Ferne Cotton: Your fans are excited, but obviously there's one in particular, quote on quote "Queen" (the whole room laughs) Alexis recently mocked you in a tweet, saying that you performed a stale song or something crazy like that at the Jonathan Ross Show, and she also said that your album is stale and will probably not get released. Now, I don't want to start anything, but.... Stephanie Fierce: ......Oh Really? (laughs hysterically) I didn't even know she was still alive, no shade, but I mean I didn't read that tweet, this is actually my first time hearing about this, I find it funny in a good way. I mean she's definitely in for a rude awakening that's all I got to say, but I mean I don't take offense to that. She's messy, and we all love her for that (giggles). She has a point though, I haven't released an album and I've pushed back and cancelled so many times,, so that part is true but I do whatever fuck I want and she should already know that. But Of course Tragedy Alexis, (She starts whispering, laughter in the background continues) that's the little name I have for her (she winks), is just having a little fun and we can't knock her for that! (Blows Kiss) Ferne Cotton: (laughs) Shady Stephy is back! We are loving it! Stephanie Fierce: This isn't Stephy, this is Stephanie Fierce and I ain't never left! Ferne Cotton: Oh snap! (laughs) Well just to get back on topic because there are obviously more important things to talk about like your new album! I'm personally so excited for this! We had a lot of fans ask me this, who did you work with on this new album and how is it different from the very first, this being volume 2? Stephanie Fierce: The tea was spilled! But anyway, I worked with a lot of great people for this record, the past few records, I didn't really let a lot of people in to work with me because I'm very territorial with my albums, but this time I worked with all of the producers and writers from my very first album, and I hadn't seen or worked with these people in years, so it was very strange but in a good way, of course the creative process was off the charts. But yeah, I worked with Ryan Tedder, my good friend Daniel, my husband Johnny Johnson, Sean Garret, Diplo who I believe is here on Saturdays, Tricky Stewart, Terius Youngdell Nash aka The Dream, Rockwell who is a legend, John Hill who I also worked with on "Love Feels Like Grenade"s, my longtime collaborative and creative director Chris Cunningham who actually helped produce one of the songs and Timbaland who just recently did Empire and that actually went #1. So, it was a good collaborative group and we pretty much were able to craft the best of the best with everything I had written, and every input they had. In terms of this album being different, you can obviously tell that I'm older, I'm more confident, I'm more liberal with the sound and with my lyrics, this being a pop record I can actually express myself in ways I couldn't with my past albums, because some of these songs aren't meant to be so serious. Ferne Cotton: That actually makes sense, I think that with Empire people got to see that new side of you, so it was definitely refreshing as always. So let's talk about some of the tracks, specifically one of them. Your fans have been buzzing in the UK about a song called "The 'Kitty' Song (Meow) ft. NuttyCaT" and obviously it hasn't even been released. Now this song is rumored to feature the late and great Ms. Bikki, the fans want to know how did this record come about and how will it sound? Stephanie Fierce: Well that is actually not a rumor, It's actually very very true and the song is almost bittersweet because I know how much Bikki was excited for it but unfortunately we lost her and that til this day I can't get over the fact she's no longer with us! She had a huge impact in my personal life not just my career and I will always keep a special place in my heart for her. But basically, the song was a song that we were suppose to release as I mentioned, but when she passed in respect to her I decided just to keep it for the future, it took me almost three years just to touch the song again because It's not something that I thought was appropriate, but now that I've coped and let go of some of my sorrows, I feel like I want to celebrate her spirit with the last track we recorded and that's why I've now chosen to put it on this record because she also worked with me on Volume 1 with "Dirty Undercover". I can't really talk about the track, but it's fun and anyone who knew Bikki knows she loves cats, so it's only fitting (laughs warmly) I think people will love it! Ferne Cotton: And that's special, obviously you've shared quite a few moments with legends of your time, we definitely look forward to the track and that must feel amazing! Stephanie Fierce: Like I always said, I am honored and blessed to have worked with the people that I have worked with. Nothing was ever just handed to me, so it feels good. When I look back, it's like somethings are meant to happen for a reason, that's why I no longer question the outcome of certain things because you never know what it leads to and many times it leads to something special! (Smiles) Ferne Cotton: Well thank you for that special message, we know how proud your mother as well must of been to see where you stand today, we are proud of you! And guess what now Fierce is going to go ahead and prep for her performance, in the mean time we're going to go ahead and play "Dirty Undercover" featuring Bikki! BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge Set-list: 1.

This first song that I'm about to perform was the very first song I completely wrote on my very own for my second studio album "Diary of a Pop Sinner" released back in 2009. I wrote this song in reference to my husband Johnny Johnson. It was the first time in my life where I had fallen in love and It literally felt like greandes. Here it goes. Stephanie Fierce begins to sing the song in it's acoustic form. She had sung this song about a thousand times in the past, so every note was second nature to her. However this one time, she was excited to perform as she hadn't since she had been on tour back in July of last year. "There is a way, to maintain a healthy heart There is a way, to prevent a war to start But damn it, there’s Cupid He is hiding, he’s so stupid Setting up ammunition , on a mission To make us fall in love There is something in his hands something like an evil plan Cupid thinks I don't know he’s a bad man oh oh oh with the heart of Nevada city oh oh oh a sinner with a heart of the pity and I'm ready to battle cause... Love Feels like Grenades it blows in the air, you just won't believe it no oh oh Love feels like Grenades it blows in the air can blow you to shreds. You just won’t believe it, oh no Love Feels like Grenades There must be a way to turn it off there must be a way, a way, to turn it off there must be a way, a way , to turn it off it off, it off, it off It’s worth to feel the pain cause, Love Feels Like Grenades Now there’s an arrow on my chest Wasn’t ready for this yet There’s no way for a healthy heart Cuz there’s a war about to start Oh no (x3) 3..2..1 (here it goes) (Pianist continues playing instead of the interlude) Imma suicide Imma suicice this love Imma suicide Imma suicice this love away Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, Imma suicide Imma suicice this love Imma suicide Imma suicice this love away Goodbye, goodbye, goodbye, Love feels like....... " Stephanie Fierce: thank you! That was "Love Feels Like Grenades" This next song is about a period of time in my life when I was curious and hungry for love. I really felt like a hunter in a jungle. People thought I was crazy. So the storm represents the negative feedback people gave me. But I didn't care as I clarify that I've already been through this and I'm experienced by saying “The end of my sphere is filled with blood”. My sphere has been used before, that's why is already covered with blood. You can hear it in my voice and you can feel the mood in the song. This might just get you out there too. Let's begin They call me wildchild, I call them prey. Cause the sound my heart makes scares them away Moving mountains, I'm out of my mind Is this the reason why love is so difficult to find I'm a hunter I'm looking for the love I'm a hunter I get curious for the blood I'm a hunter I can smell the blood (x2), I can smell my love Somewhere in this jungle my prey awaits better hurry, a storm heads my way But nothing stops me, not even acid rain Cause, I'm a hunter I'm looking for the love I'm a hunter The end of my sphere is filled with blood I'm a hunter I can smell the blood (x2), I can smell my.. haters talk, they pollute the air On the mission so I don't care The search is fierce Baby, the storm is near So bring on the acid rain I said bring on the acid rain (hey) Bring on the acid rain I said Bring on the acid rain (hey) Stephanie Fierce: This song right here, is a poetic song that I wrote, also about love. Sometimes the love between two people can be really powerful and my drummer is about to show you all what I mean by suicide! Here's U and I = Suicide (laughs) Underneath our feet This love grow like plants (Listen how it grows) I'm blinded by your eyes (Listen how they grow) and the core of the heart (Listen how they grow) You and I Internal Nebula (You and I) lust growing slowmo (You and I) I conquer philophobia (You and I) equal suicide We mimic the openness Of the ones who love Death of our generosity equalizes the flow You and I Internal Nebula You and I Lust growing slowmo You and I I conquer philophobia You and I equal suicide Internal Nebula (You and I) Lust growing slowmo (You and I) I conquer Philophobia (You and I) equal suicide It's death you become Conquer an anxiety death you become Conquer anxiety It's death you become When you conquer an anxiety It's death you become When you conquer an Stephanie Fierce: Just two days ago I heard this song on the radio and I immideately fell in love with it. It's called "Under.Wear" I want to just have a bit of fun with it. Let me give it a go. In curtosy to PURE, I just want to say I hope you like my cover, I am humbled to cover such a great song and of course I look forward to the new album! The song which is a little more fast paced is slowed down to a more acoustic setting. As the guitar plays, Fierce begins to sing the song reading off the lyrics from a piece of paper as she was still learning the lyrics. During the first verse, she sounds a bit shaky at parts but picks it up with the chorus, letting out her inner voice a little more. During the "I don't want You" parts she starts pointing her hand at the camera, ooooh oooh (3x) Visions influenced by an incompetent stare Illusions of a floor littered with underwear Things that you could only imagine A reality that can only sadden A gun in one hand, rolled up note in the other My head in the sand, my arms above my head Fashion talk lasts only a night The action erupts the entire site Hospital alarm bells ringing all around Burning our love to a haunting sound Fierce began closing her eyes picturing herself as a man singing this song to someone she hated. Which allowed her to bring more vulnerability to the song's lyrics. She changed a few of the pronouns just to cause a different expression with the words. I don't want her she don't want me I don't want her I don't want her I don't want her I don't want to love him I don't want him He don't want to love me During the second verse, fierce voice was a bit more confident but you can tell she was still learning the pace, but as a proffesional vocalist she managed to make it sound right, even when she slighlty messed up the timing of the lyrics. Late night talks treading on the edge Can't see my nose melting at the side of the stage Calling out subtle references of you Ten minutes until it hits the heart We'll forget this ever really happened I guess that's why it's my favourite part Don't mean to make you cry But you can't just sit and lie So why should I just pretend Everything will be ok in the end I don't want you You don't want me I don't want you I don't want you I don't want you I don't want to love you I don't want you You don't want to love me During this peace she decides to pick up the song even more to it's original form but her band add soulful-reggae like instumentation and Fierce begins to dance along Social awkwardness Hidden behind the bliss The strength of a kiss Visions influenced by an incompetent stare Illusions of a floor littered with underwear I don't want you, so why should I just pretend You don't want me, everything won't be ok in the end Visions influenced by an incompetent stare Illusions of a floor littered with underwear Remember that night when we shot our guns Blessing each other with holy love We've lived and seen a thousand suns Theres no way we can break it off I don't know why I guess we're just trying too hard" Stephanie Fierce: Thank you so much, now this next cover is going to be dedicated to my husband! this is one of his favorite songs of all time and I want to perform it just for him! "There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold And she's buying a stairway to heaven. When she gets there she knows, if the stores are all closed With a word she can get what she came for. Ooh, ooh, and she's buying a stairway to heaven. There's a sign on the wall but she wants to be sure 'Cause you know sometimes words have two meanings. In a tree by the brook, there's a songbird who sings, Sometimes all of our thoughts are misgiven. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it makes me wonder. There's a feeling I get when I look to the west, And my spirit is crying for leaving. In my thoughts I have seen rings of smoke through the trees, And the voices of those who stand looking. Ooh, it makes me wonder, Ooh, it really makes me wonder. And it's whispered that soon, if we all call the tune, Then the piper will lead us to reason. And a new day will dawn for those who stand long, And the forests will echo with laughter. If there's a bustle in your hedgerow, don't be alarmed now, It's just a spring clean for the May queen. Yes, there are two paths you can go by, but in the long run There's still time to change the road you're on. And it makes me wonder. Your head is humming and it won't go, in case you don't know, The piper's calling you to join him, Dear lady, can you hear the wind blow, and did you know Your stairway lies on the whispering wind? And as we wind on down the road Our shadows taller than our soul. There walks a lady we all know Who shines white light and wants to show How everything still turns to gold. And if you listen very hard The tune will come to you at last. When all are one and one is all To be a rock and not to roll. And she's buying a stairway to heaven." Stephanie Fierce: Last but not least, this is the latest single from my new album "The Past, The Present and The Future of Pop". Let's have some fun. Here's "Empire". "This Body, is your empire rule my world, send me on fire This body, is yours tonight fill me up, with your delight "Your burn, your desire builds on my anticipation, so come and make this body your nation you're the ruler upon true loves first kiss, now watch as I drag you in, your world becomes a bliss Can't you feel our bodies closing in Can you washaway all my sins, This body, is your empire can't you feel our hearts yearnig can't you see all my lovin This body, is your empire this body baby is your empire this body babe is your empire this body babe is your empire this body babe is your EMPIRE! " "Cuando llego en el micrófono ya tu sabe que yo represento a mi barrio y mi pueblo, matando a mis enemigos, si me tratas pobre you Tengo las caderas de los caminos curvos nargitas más grande del sol pobre you todos los hombres miran se lamben los labios tengo mi Goya y sazon, ya tu sabes como en el piso de la disco yo cosino, Feroz (FIERCE!) I know a woman like me is hard to find, but I too got you on my mind want you to watch my dirty wine I know that makes you lose your mind watching me non stop from behind over and over you like Una y otra vez nos encontramos cadera a cadera Quieros que me chuppes con tus lavios hacer mi cuerpo tu imperio Can't you feel our bodies closing in Can you washaway all my sins, This body, is your empire can't you feel our hearts yearnig can't youfeel all my fierce loving This body, is your empire this body baby is your empire this body babe is your empire this body babe is your empire this body babe is your EMPIRE!" "Your body turn up, me say "Turn up, turn up" like a Goddess, so you turn up, turn up Your body turn up, me say "Turn up, turn up" like a Goddess, so you turn up, Stephy, stephy, stephy Can't you feel our bodies closing in Can you wash away all of my sins, This body, is your empire can't you see our hearts yearnig Make you feel all my good loving This body, is your empire This body, is your empire can't you see our hearts yearnig Make you feel all my good loving This body, is your empire this body, is your empire this body baby is your empire this body babe is your empire this body babe is your EMPIRE!" Stephanie Fierce: Thank you all so much! I had a very good time! Good night! Edited by user 18 September 2014 08:58:04(UTC) \| Reason: Not specified
