1. Meet London’s
new ‘it girl’
If you haven’t yet heard of Valentine Edward, where have you
been?! With the new album she has released everybody is
buzzing. Valentine is set to become every self-respecting girl’s
icon of 2015. She is the most talented person alive, she has it all;
confidence, taste and an amazing talent. We met up with
Valentine last Thursday to have a chat about how things are
going.
Being Valentine Edward
“Everything is going insane, I have been so busy with promoting
my new album that I haven’t even had time for anybody else or
even myself. I’m not complaining though, I’m loving every second
of it”.
We asked Valentine how she copes with the sudden
transformation of becoming a somebody in the music industry,
she giggled, “I don’t really see myself as ‘somebody’ I still see
myself as a normal person, I’m just really glad my album finished.
I never thought I would see the day”. Valentine describes her
new album as a motivational album for teenage girls, “I think
every problem a teenage girl or boy possibly could face has been
covered in my new album. There’s a song for every issue!!”
We asked Valentine how she wanted her audience to feel like
when listening to her songs, “I want people to feel motivational
and realise that there is a future and everything they are going
through now is temporary. I just want people to feel good and
alive when listening to my songs. I mean there are some songs
where the lyrics just don’t make sense and those types of songs
are just pointless. I mean every song should have a meaning. I
want my songs to have a meaning and make sense”.
“I write songs about reality not fairy
tales”
We asked Valentine if she thinks she would ever fall into the sex and drugs element of this
lifestyle, “never, I would never lose my self-control and dignity. I feel so bad for artists that
fall into that path of drugs and so on, as it is a horrible thing to lose control over your own
body. Also, I would never want to set that kind of example to my fans. I’m a very confident
person so I believe I can handle the pressure”.
Valentine hasn’t yet been spotted with a guy and this had everybody wondering if she has
met the one yet or is single and ready to mingle, “ I’m single” she laughed, “ Before I would
wish to have a boyfriend and was so desperate to have one. But now that I have grown up I
have realised that guys actually don’t mean everything and career comes first. My last
relationship ended really badly and the breakup was horrible. At the moment I don’t want to
go through anything like that again so I’m just going to focus on my career and have fun”.
We asked Valentine what or who inspired her to become a singer, “the thing is I have
always wanted to help people and give motivation to people going through a hard time.
Before I wanted to become a social worker or therapist but later on I saw how much Demi
Lovato inspired young people and helped them through her songs and strong lyrics.
Therefore, then I decided to become a singer. And now here I am”.
Valentine’s new album left everybody buzzing, we asked her what she thinks of her new
album and if she is proud of it “ to be honest it took me so long to write the lyrics for my
new songs, as I wanted it to have a meaning. So I am so proud of my new album, as I
spent so much effort on it and I hope my fans will like it as much as I do”. Her new album
is named “survivor” which is a very unique album name. We asked her why she named it
“survivor”, “ I know it’s a bit strange to call an album survivor but the songs in the album are
all about struggling with something and how to overcome it. So it would make sense to call
the album survivor. Also, I hope all my fans that listen to this album will like it and it will help
them to become a survivor too, as music always helped me when I was struggling too”.
Finally, we asked her if she is happy with herself so far, as she has done so much
wonderful work in such a know. I feel like I’m going to wake up one day and it’s all going to
be over. So yes I am proud of myself short amount of time at such a young age, she
already has 5 albums “everything just feels so weird, like a dream you and very happy that
I chose this career, as it makes me really happy and I just love singing. Even though it is
sometimes hard to cope with all the fame and paparazzi’s at the end it is all worth it. I mean
I can’t believe I already have 5 albums, I still remember releasing my first album. Time just
fly’s when you’re having fun”.
