Read on for all the latest from <strong>Wolfette<\/strong>, and don&#8217;t forget to check out her brand new video for <strong>&#8220;Different Story&#8221;<\/strong> below.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>Hey, Wolfette. How&#8217;s life? <br \/><\/strong>Yeah, really good thanks! Lots of exciting things going on. I&#8217;m enjoying the summer and &#8220;Different Story&#8221; is being received really well which is great.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Different Story&#8221; is not a happy song. What&#8217;s the story behind it?<br \/><\/strong>It&#8217;s about that spark of hope in a dying relationship &#8211; remembering why you loved each other in the first place and realising how much you would miss each other if you broke up. It&#8217;s about giving things one last try.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>The video &#8211; your first &#8211; is just as impressive as the track. Is this a sign that even bigger things are on the way?<br \/><\/strong>Thank you! I&#8217;m really happy with the response it&#8217;s been getting. This is definitely the start of a new chapter &#8211; I&#8217;m hoping that &#8220;Different Story&#8221;, along with the video, will help me reach a wider audience.<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"500\" height=\"314\" src=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/S-iHvKyjfdA\" frameborder=\"0\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\n<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve said that you&#8217;re inspired by strong frontwomen. Do you think being a strong female helps you in pop?<br \/><\/strong>Yeah, absolutely. It&#8217;s a tough business so you need to have an inner confidence and be strong in yourself. You&#8217;ve got to know exactly what you want and be single minded in getting it.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>With that in mind, how would you describe yourself as an artist? <br \/><\/strong>Passionate, independent, creative, feisty!<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>Your earlier tracks show off a kind of rockier style &#8211; how does rock and electro work together for you?<br \/><\/strong>I absolutely love it &#8211; I think that bands like Garbage, Depeche Mode and The Prodigy, who combine both aspects, are just brilliant. The combination really inspires me.<br \/>\n<strong><\/p>\n<p>You&#8217;ve been working hard on several tracks. What can we expect from your new music, and is an album on the way?<br \/><\/strong>Yes, I&#8217;ve already got loads of songs finished. There&#8217;s definitely a continuation of the electro-rock theme -lots of dirty guitar riffs and distorted basslines along with lots of lovely electroness. Lyrically there&#8217;s lots of attitude!<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s it like being a brand new artist and waiting to hear what people make of your work? It&#8217;s a scary place, surely?<br \/><\/strong>It&#8217;s actually really exciting! I can&#8217;t wait to get out there and play my new material to people and really get things moving.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>What drives you?<br \/><\/strong>I get great satisfaction from finishing a song and a huge buzz from performing. I want to be a successful artist and known for writing great songs.<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>What question would you have hated me to ask?!<br \/><\/strong>My most embarrassing moment &#8211; there are too many to mention!<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>You played at a live EQ event earlier this year and were brilliant &#8211; any live plans for the summer?<br \/><\/strong>Thank you! I&#8217;ve been gigging loads and have a couple more dates in the diary so far. There&#8217;s Tuesday 19th July at the O2 Academy Islington and Thursday 18th Aug at the Workshop &#8211; where I played for EQ. It&#8217;s a great little venue!<\/p>\n<p><strong><\/p>\n<p>What else should we look out for from Wolfette?<br \/><\/strong>You&#8217;ll be able to hear a remix of &#8220;Different Story&#8221; shortly, more live shows and either another single or an EP after this. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>When a pop video starts with the words &#8216;WARNING &#8211; Contains flashing images&#8217;, you know it&#8217;s going to be good.
