First off I personally would like to\u00a0congradulate\u00a0you on “Voodoo Reloaded” \u00a0its given us more ways to enjoy “Voodoo” all over again! I happened to get to your Drake show and must say that was an unforgettable night of old and new jams, I\u00a0absolutely\u00a0enjoyed every minute of it as you\u00a0probably\u00a0seen I posted the full concert for you and all your fans to get to enjoy. Thank you for an amazing night! and Thank you for this interview, It means so much to me and the fans \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
1. \u00a0Tell us about the first day of being on set and shooting the video?<\/p>\n
It was good! I loved having the band a part of the video.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
2. \u00a0All the the fans noticed at the Drake show your hair was now brown (gorgeous\u00a0by the way) did you change it for the video?<\/p>\n
Thank you! I changed it for a change\u2026 I\u2019ve been feeling more brunette these days. Thought I\u2019d give it a go.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
3. \u00a0Going into the process of making the video did you have visions of what you wanted it to be like?<\/p>\n
I did initially had a few visions. I then received a stellar treatment from Jason Romolo of HeartstringsTV and immediately wanted to connect with him and work out a concept.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
4. \u00a0What made you choose “Look At Those Eyes” as your next video?<\/p>\n
It\u2019s a special song to me, and it felt like the right time to get it out there.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. \u00a0Were there any (Blooper) moments on set?<\/p>\n
Nothing too crazy but definitely some funny moments. I\u2019m editing together some behind the scenes footage now.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6. \u00a0Your band also known as “The Beds” were in the video, how was it having them apart of the video and your live shows?<\/p>\n
They\u2019re such solid guys and great musicians. Having them a part of the live process this year has been really special for me.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
7. \u00a0HeartStrings TV was also apart of the video how was it working with them?<\/p>\n
They\u2019re professional, efficient and they\u2019re doing it for the love of film and music. Which is always fantastic.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
8. \u00a0What do you hope for the fans to take from the song and video?<\/p>\n
I hope they take something. Whatever that is\u2026 I hope t emotes a feeling, hopefully of strength and courage.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
9. \u00a0I saw your tweet about Lev Lewis having a Americano, did you have any\u00a0favorite\u00a0drinks on set?<\/p>\n
Water! Green tea, and an afternoon Americano if I can find one.. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
10. \u00a0I know you love clothes as much as I do, what was the choice of fashion on set for the video?<\/p>\n
30\u2019s meets current.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
11. \u00a0I get the chills from “Look At Those Eyes” when I hear it, I feel it has a dark side to it, can we expect to see that in the video?<\/p>\n
The video will be a little darker.. I\u2019m still waiting to see the first edit to get a real grasp of what Jason\u2019s been visualizing on his end. We went for a more sombre tone on this one.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
12. \u00a0You seem to have a place in your heart for Toronto, I know this is your second video shot here, is there any\u00a0special\u00a0connections to Toronto?<\/p>\n
I grew up in Vancouver, so that feels like home. Toronto has been great on an indie front for me. I love travelling and I never know where I\u2019ll actually end up. The world\u2019s our oyster!<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
13. \u00a0Describe the second day of shooting and your overall\u00a0experience with everyone on set?<\/p>\n
Long day\u2026 but I feel we got what we were looking for. Everyone was awesome and I\u2019m glad the video is coming to be.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
14. \u00a0I have to ask this, at the Drake show there was a moment when you started to sing “Seasons Of Love” from the musical “Rent”, are you a big fan of musicals and “Rent”?<\/p>\n
Haha! I\u2019ve actually never seen Rent on Broadway\u2026 but I do love the music.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
15. \u00a0What are 3 bands that you could not live without?<\/p>\n
The Police<\/p>\n
The Beatles (of course)<\/p>\n
ELO<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
16. \u00a0Finally, If you were to write a short poem out to your fans, what would it say?<\/p>\n
I hope you know<\/p>\n
I hope you do<\/p>\n
How much support I get from you<\/p>\n
You give me strength to carry on<\/p>\n
I put you into every song.. \u00a0\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
