 "I sometimes fall asleep with my notepad and guitar"At just 20 years old, Cristina Lake has become one of Junction Records most hottest prospects after releasing her debut album, Nola, in the summer of 2010 to a critical acclaim, and a top 10 peak charting in Canada as well as charting in many other countries. Prior to her big break with Junction Records and music, Cristina has taken part in lead roles for successive movies like Love or Death , Guardian Of The Galaxy and more. Pretty impressive!
As the ending of 2010 came along, Cristina became caught up in the media outburst for weeks leading to months involving then boyfriend, Jack Frost. To make things work, things over at Junction were looking nasty and some of the roster got shaken up and on the losing end was Cristina Lake who was released from her contract. No word was ever given as to why she was released. Since then, Jake Wilson has become head honcho for Junction Records.
Now, in 2011 after getting re signed to Junction Records, Cristina gets another shot to resume hot fame and Lake has stated that while she was away from the media, Frost, and alot of other things and people, the singer did nothing but think, write, relax and record.How are you Cristina?
I'm actually great, doing so much better. I feel so lifted, its an amazing feeling.
Its been a while since you last did an interview?
Yes, its been months on top of months. It feels great to finally be back here though..
Can you explain to us where you were all this time?
I was away. I took an extended vacation, just to get away from the media. It became so bad to the point where I couldn't walk anywhere without being asked about something having to do with my personal life. Guess I wasn't use to it, and I guess I'm still young, still learning..... everything just fell in on me regarding my label, and boyfriend. I had to get away?
Were you depressed? If you dont mind us asking?
Heh, of course I dont mind! I wouldnt say I was depressed... I was just highly, highly upset with everything that was going on in my life. Ever get that feeling? That f*ck the world type of thing.
Are you still in touch with Jack Frost?
I'm sure we aren't on bad terms, but I haven't speaken to him in a while..
Now onto the happier things. Just a few days ago it was announced that you were re-signed to Junction Records! How did feel about being dropped from the label, for what seemed like absolutely no reason.
It was so uplifting! I was so happy! I was just happy that all those problems finally past and I had a new mind set. Things over at Junction were really nasty and I was so hurt when I was dropped from the label. That, just you said, made everything worse. But when we finally signed another deal. I was... oh my... god.. very happy.
You actually have a duet that's coming out with James Urie called 'Believing In Being Happy' can you tell us about the song and how it came about?
Ahhh, I love that song. Its actually coming out soon. Its a really deep song, with so much emotion. You can hear in the song that we can really relate to the song... we wrote it so well together. Its about being so depressed, your trying to fight the feeling because you believe in being happy, theres no such thing as depression to you... but somehow you get caught up in a depressive state. Its such a deep song. And the collaboration came about when I returned from my gettaway, I just got a message from my manager and he goes "James Urie has a huge idea that he wants you to be apart of" and James is a great artist with a big heart and right then and there I was interested. We met up that same day I think, to talk about the song and we got to work within the next few days and it came out so well. We both wrote the song and produced it. It makes use of the acoustic guitar in it too, it was great to work my guitar on another track.
Is it true that you are indeed working on an album? And will the duet be on the album?
I am.. while I was away I got to writing and recording non stop. It kind of all worked out. At first I didnt want to record or anything. I just wanted to lay down all day but after a while I thought, how am I going to feel better if I dont let this out.. and I started letting it out, page by page in my notepad... that led to singing it out.. and that led to me calling my producers and such and telling them I've been inspired.. because I was. Im like this is great, I know alot of my fans have gone through problems and maybe they can relate to me. Maybe they could understand how I felt deeply. As far as the duet.. we'll have to just see. Hehe...
When can we expect an album?
I'd say soon... cant really confirm anything. I'm still finishing it up. Trying to get everything done. Its my job to not rush the album out and to make it the best that it can be. I'm pretty confident with the way its coming along that it should be soon...
Any last words? As far as the album, anything new, different from Nola?
You'll just have to wait and listen. Its still alternative...definately more captivating, encouraging, sad.. its different things. Thats what I think will make the album so special...
Thank so much for coming Cristina, and good luck with your career.
Thank you VH1!Edited by user 23 April 2011 18:55:10(UTC)
