Irregular Heartbeat Made Jessie J Grow Up Very Quickly

Jessie J 'Who You Are'

spoke with The Sun’s TV Buzz in a Q&A, where the British pop singer talked about how her foot is recovering, performing at Wembley Stadium, the mystery of her sexuality, bullying, vacationing in the Bahamas, her busy schedule and how being diagnosed with an irregular heartbeat when she was 11 and suffering a mini stroke at 18 has affected her.

“A lot of people ask if I’m teetotal because of my heart and I say no, I’m teetotal because I want to be healthy,” the 23-year-old said. “I want to get up every day at 4am and not be hungover or smell like cigarettes. It’s changed me in that it’s put me in a place where I have to go for what I want, because life isn’t guaranteed. However athletic you are, health sometimes isn’t on your side and unfortunately I’ve always been someone who’s been in and out of hospital. It’s something that made me grow up very quickly but I also think it made me appreciate life very quickly. I actually think it’s a good thing.”

I really loved supporting Bruno Mars because he’s an incredible musician but he doesn’t take himself too seriously… and he is so much fun to hang out with! I’m excited for – I’m definitely a fan – her voice is beautiful and she’s got so much attitude that I can’t wait to see her show when I come off stage.”

Adam Levine tattoos

In an interview with UsMagazine.com, Adam Levine was asked how his bandmates feel about him being a judge/mentor on the hit NBC reality singing program ‘The Voice’. “Everybody else loves it. They love it,” the tattooed singer insisted. “When we talked about doing it, it was a risk for sure. Everyone was really supportive and the band was so cool with it, and I think that everyone was hoping it would go exactly the way that it did. Obviously, we were lucky it wound up breaking out. Any time you do something like this you put yourself out there, you never know what’s gonna happen, but I always had my support from my brothers in the band, and it all worked.”

Anjulie Makes The Record She’s Always Wanted To Make

Anjulie 'Brand New Bitch'

spoke with AOL Music about her new single ‘Brand New Bitch’, influences, being of Indian descent, teaming with Doctor Rosen Rosen on ‘Sex-Ed’, her upcoming record and how her sound has matured since releasing the dance hit ‘Boom’ in 2009.

“I wrote my first record mostly on guitar in my hometown,” the Oakville, Ontario native explained. “It was an amazing learning experience, because I really dug in on the songwriting side and made a retro-sounding record completely isolated from what was going on in the world. This record started when I moved to L.A. I was really inspired by what was going on here sonically and decided to make the record I’ve always wanted to make. I started working with DJs and producers and experimenting with how to put my vibe over those beats.”

Sky Ferreira: I’m Going Through A Reinvention Phase

Sky Ferreira by Rankin

spoke with Rolling Stone in a Q&A, talking about her role as a face for CK One and the progress on her debut album. “I’m going through a reinvention phase, where I’m trying to figure out where it is I want to go next,” the 19-year-old said. “I’m not sixteen anymore, you know? I’m not sure I want to continue in the dance-pop vein that I’ve come to be associated with. The thing people may not know yet is that I have a really good voice; I can actually sing and I’d like to use that to my advantage. Everyone’s vocals are so processed now. So, showcasing what is unique about my voice and my songwriting is a priority. I have a lot more things to say now.”

During an interview with Out.com, spoke about her new album ‘Night of Hunters’, the shocking mass killing in Oslo, watching an entire season of ‘The Real Housewives of New Jersey’ in a single day and her upcoming tour. On her one day addiction to the Bravo series, the 47-year-old confessed:

I actually sat with Tash at Easter and watched ‘The Real Housewives of New York’ from the beginning. She said, “Mom, you’re going to get addicted!” I sat there eating popcorn watching the whole thing – I couldn’t believe it – from early morning until late at night. My sister was flying in and we were waiting for her to show up and it wasn’t a great day outside and so we watched an entire season! It was crazy! But I couldn’t watch it ever again. I said, “I can’t do this, Tash – I’ll never work again!”

Pia Toscano Promises Edgy, Soulful Album With Great Collaborations

Pia Toscano 'This Time'

spoke with the Houston Chronicle about selecting ‘This Time’ as her first single and what fans can expect from the ‘American Idol’ season ten finalist on her debut album. “Yes, I love to sing ballads, but I really just did what I needed to do to stay on the show,” Pia explained. “I feel like people don’t really get that we have themes every week, and there are songs on lists that we’re choosing from. The most important thing was being a strong vocalist to me. Before I came out here, I wasn’t doing lots of ballads. But this album is going to be edgy. It’s going to be soulful. It’s going to be powerful, fun, with lots of great collaborations.”

Ellie Goulding: I Am Just Kind Of A Dark Person

Ellie Goulding 'Starry Eyed'

spoke with PrideSource about the follow-up to her debut album ‘Lights’ and why the British singer songwriter is taking a darker turn with the music. “I don’t know. It’s just me; it’s just who I am,” the 24-year-old said. “My music is solely happy at some points, but there’s always a dark kind of thing running through my songs. I am just kind of a dark person. There’s always a place in my head I go to to write songs, and the darker it is, the more genuine it feels to me. Everyone’s different, but I’m just one of those. I think a lot. I think too much, even when I’m really happy.”

Imogen Heap On The Downside Of Record Labels

Imogen Heap before a clock

During a Q&A with DNA, was asked about why she decided to start her own record label, Megaphonic, before releasing her second solo album ‘Speak for Yourself’. “People have this misconception that once they have a record label – it’s the end of their worries,” the 33 year-old said. “But it’s not true. Record labels love to make a quick buck and you sort of have to stick to their format all the time. Which is why, in 2004, I left the label I was with and recorded my own music. I wanted to be signing and writing the kind of songs I wanted to do and not feel pressured into something.”

Mat Kearney 'Young Love'

spoke with Celebuzz in a Q&A, where the singer songwriter was asked about his wife Annie Sims being the inspiration behind his current single ‘Hey Mama’, whether there’s other personal songs on his new album ‘Young Love’, musical crushes, and if family and friends are his biggest inspirations for writing.

“When I first wrote, I didn’t know how to do it any other way besides the stories that are around me,” Mat said. “[For this album] I said, ‘I’m not going to write anything that’s outside of arms reach. I’m only writing about my friends.’ So, there’s a lot of personal stories about my life and friends.”
