1. Feature Article draft:
We’re back again! Today we are here in London, Camden on our way to have an exclusive
interview with the beautiful Alyssia Scarlett Smith for our special edition of ‘Name’ magazine.
The sun is beaming down on the high-street so we know it’s going to be a good day for
everyone. We are interviewing the stunning artist at her beautiful penthouse that overlooks the
city. We arrive at her house and she opens the door wearing a beautiful black chiffon dress,
with her high street Chelsea boots and some cool boho jewellery to top of her fashion look.
Alyssia is profoundly known for having the look that everyone wants so we aren't surprised to
see her looking so ravishing. We enter the apartment thathas a strong smell of jasmine and
lavender. We sit down with the singer on her balcony, with a cup of herbal tea and begin the
interview.
It's been almost 2 years since we last spoke to the singer/songwriter so we have lots to catch up
on. Since the last time we spoke she had just released her second album, ‘air’ and had just gone
through a massive breakup with her ex fiancé: Douglas Booth.
“I’m so excited to be doing this interview with you guys, it's been too long” She bursts out as
we begin the interview. The 22 year old is sat on her balcony swing chair with her cavapoo dog
‘Barney’ on her lap. “I’m so glad you've asked me to be the feature issue for this issue”. She sips
on her herbal tea and looks down over the balcony at the fuss of the streets below. She seems to
be a lot more radiant this time round and a lot more quirky, it's nice to see the young girl back
to her youth instead of how she was during the big breakup that caused havoc over social
media. “It was so silly! I was head over heels for a guy and engaged at 20 years old” (she laughs
at herself before carrying on) “My mum told me I was too young and I didn't listen! Instead I let
him treat me like shit and I was the one with my heart broken” She looks down at her hands
before exhaling and looking up and smirking. “I mean we’re ok now, I wouldn't say we’re best
friends but I have definitely moved on and we are both so much happier for it.”
The singer has been back in London for just over 5 months after travelling around the world on
her latest tour. Travelling from the U.S, Asia, Europe and South America. Her tour ended in Rio
De Janeiro where she was said to have been dancing the nights away with her fans as her tour
came to an end. However she says “I love touring the world it's one of the best things about my
job, but after all of that the only thing I look forward to is curling up into a ball in bed and
hibernating for at least a week! Just the company on my fridge, T.V and of course my Barney
Boo”.
Throughout the rest of the interview, she breaks out in some further laughter and bad language,
as she is highly known for having a laugh.
“The media is so fucked up, like I can’t go out with any off my guy friends without being
accused of dating and it's annoying because the media are trying to relate me to Taylor swift as
another one of the girls who run through guys! and that is definitely not the case for me or
Taylor for that matter”.

2. So what's changed about Alyssia since the last time we spoke? Well for a start she seems to be
bursting with her confidence she first had when she was first being discovered. It's so lovely to
see such a young spirit living her life independently. With her amazing friends such as, Selena
Gomez, Taylor Swift, Bonnie Harper, Gigi Hadid and so many more…
So we wanted to get to the bottom of Alyssias current love life so we asked her a few questions
that we knew you guys were dying to know: So Alyssia are there any relationships blossoming
at the moment with you and anyone? She laughs “NO! I can imagine everyone wants to know”
she carries on laughing “for now yes I am dating but it’s just dates here and there, no serious
relations with anyone so far”
How’s your third album going?
“Really well! I am so excited for this album to be released, like I have put my blood and sweat
into this whilst on tour writing the songs. It’s so different from the rest because it’s almost like
my personal diary? Each and every song has a meaning and purpose behind it and I love the
idea of people trying to figure out the bizarre scenarios for what they think it might mean! I’ve
finished writing all the songs it’s just a case of recording them, so for now I don’t think the
albums going to be released until sometime in 2017! But I can’t wait for my fans to hear it and I
hope they love it as much as I do”
