V magazine amped up their annual music issue with four femme fatales. Inducting Solange,V V Brown,Cassie and Jojo into their wings ,the magazine explored these fantastic foursome about their upcoming images,inspirations and future musical efforts. Peep the excerpts of the interviews below...
Cassie on her new sound and image: “In my video we called it ‘giving ’90s supermodel.’ It’s the perfect definition of who I am right now and what I’m going through. People aren’t going to expect me to come out with what I have.”
JoJo on being a voice for her generation:
“I love Britney Spears and Madonna and Lady Gaga. I love pop music, those big pop records, but I still want it to feel like my sound. I hope people feel like, ‘Damn, that’s exactly what I’m going through, that’s what I’m thinking but I wasn’t sure how to put it into words.’ I want to sing what people are thinking and feeling. I want it to be the soundtrack to their lives.”
Solange on her new music:
“My references for the record were all Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis, not just their typical Janet and Prince stuff, but SOS Band and their b-sides with Chaka Khan. At first the songs were really dark because I had a premonition before the record that I was going to die. I was having panic attacks and wiling out.”
V V Brown on her sophomore album Lollipops and Politics:
“My second album has a message: it’s about my generation and things going on in the world. But I didn’t want it to come across preachy. I love writing upbeat songs with darker undertones.”
I can't wait to hear this Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis feel on Solanges upcoming album ...it's a very different direction unlike any other artists 'new sound'.
I love me some Solo ,she's missed on my iPod .
