Vanessa Carlton Appoints Boyfriend As Record Producer

Vanessa Carlton spoke with Blender magazine about having boyfriend Stephan Jenkins of Third Eye Blind produce her second album. “I feel like anyproducer is trying to get in your pants one way or another,” Carlton joked. “The good thing about this is at least it’s out in the open.” Carlton added, “He really gets what I’m going for. I’ve never felt such freedom as I have with him. Maybe that’s because I can threaten him with ‘other things’ in our relationship.”
