So,
Lisa, let’s get straight to the point. Your latest album has soared the charts
recently, how did that happen?
“I honestly don’t have a clue, it’s all down to
the fans to be honest, I have no other explanation. I did work extremely hard
on this album but you can never expect great things. Anything can happen in
this job, it’s crazy. Ed Sheeran tweeted me last week, I was overwhelmed! It’s
like…one day you’re just a regular girl trying to make it in the music industry
and the next your latest single is N.0 1 in the charts. I’m really so grateful,
and it’s definitely my fan base that has spread the word about this new album,
and this time it’s really paid off.”
I’ve
heard you’re also planning a UK Arena tour, what’s going on there?
“Yes, I’m really so excited. I’m going to play
the O2! I remember seeing The Script there a couple of years ago, and now I’m
going to be playing on the same stage as them? Crazy, it’s all just crazy. I
used to be worried if anyone would actually come and watch me sing at my local
open mic night, and now this is a whole new experience. Got a great tour
planned though yes, the tour bus is ready, the staging and props are nearly all
set, and I hope the audience is ready too. I do this all for my fans, I’ll be
forever grateful for them, their support is “Never Ending” get it? But
seriously yes, it’s all still a dream I’m certain of that.”
So
who’s supporting you on tour? Can you tell us yet?
“Yes I can actually, it’s incredible, I actually
have two great bands in the running to support me on tour next year. Wheatus
and Hollywood Ending, and no I didn’t steal them from McBusted! They’re all
lovely, and I think they’ll really get the audience going, that’s what it’s all
about you know. I just want it to be fun. Wheatus are such a classic band and
Hollywood Ending in my opinion are so under rated, they have produced such
great music together in the time they’ve been together, and I know they’re
going to be huge, but just like me a few months ago I just don’t think they’ve
had their big break yet; all I can hope is that this next tour brings it to
them!”
Back
on the subject of singles, you’ve got a new one out soon haven’t you?
“Yes, it’s called “By my Side” and it’s
available to pre-order on iTunes on Monday the 15th. I hope everyone
likes it, I like it anyway! I don’t really know what happens next with that, I think
I need to keep more up to date with what I’m doing sometimes! The fans will
know though ask them! But yeah, it’s all really just incredible right now, and I’m
honestly so grateful. I just wake up and think “wow is this my life now?” it’s
great. “
