AOL Music spoke with ’s Adam Young in a Q&A, talking about whether he got a response to his musical Valentine he dedicated to Taylor Swift, which was a response to Swift’s song ‘Enchanted’. “I’m definitely a shy guy. So that was the one moment where I could get up the nerve and get the courage to talk to her,” Young said. “But she never actually did respond. I was never really expecting to hear a response per se, but it was a fun thing to do. I think she’s such a sweet girl. And when I heard the original version of ['Enchanted'], I added up the letters and it spelled my name and I was freaking out.

Natalia Kills passenger

did a Q&A with Hollywood Dame, where the English pop newcomer talked about how she feels different from other artists in her genre. “I’m mostly inspired by film and visuals,” the 24-year-old said. “My album ‘Perfectionist’ is a concept album. I’m a perfectionist. I think we all are to be honest. We’re all looking for the best in everything in our lives – dating, career, appearance, money… My album is about the disappointments, frustrations and aspirations that come with looking for the ideal and finding out that nothing is every truly perfect. The most obvious thing I can say is it’s not an electro/dance album, and its certainly more aggressive than most songs at the moment. Its honest.”

singer Adam Levine spoke with the Daily Telegraph about how he’s not been pleased with the sales of the group’s latest album ‘Hands All Over’. “I’m really not that happy, but I kind of have to be happy given the circumstances of the record industry – it’s definitely in a weird place right now,” Levine said. “Because this isn’t our break-out record; it’s just another Maroon 5 record. But I think it’s a great record. I want it to be well received. There’s just no way of knowing until you get to the end. It’s a marathon. We’ll see how it goes. It is selling. It’s nice to know people are buying it every week.” Levine added, “When you become accustomed to a certain level of success, anything less becomes unsatisfying. But in the current world we live in, it’s successful.”
