<\/a> <\/p>\nLittle Boots doing her best Jodie Harsh hairdo…<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\nHow did your collaboration come about with Phil Oakey<\/em> on "Symmetry"?<\/em> Was it a secret desire for you to record with such a legend in electronica? <\/span>I'm a huge Human League<\/em> fan so obviously it was a big honour. "Symmetry"<\/em> always felt like a duet, then when it came to finding someone my management got in touch and lucky for me, he agreed! I still can't believe it.<\/p>\nOne of our EQ readers would like to know what influence is behind the music video to "New In Town". It's kind of peciular, yet a brilliant music video though – is that what you were going for?<\/span> I wanted to do a music video which reflected the song. I wrote "New In Town"<\/em> in LA on one of the first trips there – and I was there alone. The director had this idea to shoot in downtown LA and focus on characters you don't normally associate with Hollywood, although they are there. It's meant to be a giant street musical vibe and meant to be fun and in no way offensive to homeless people!<\/p>\n \n<\/http:><\/p>\nIf you are homeless – please don't take offense to "New In Town"…<\/em><\/strong>\n<\/p>\nAnother EQ reader asks the age old question…What music is inspiring you lately? <\/span>A lot of itala disco, some vintage Kylie, Telepathe, Fever Ray<\/em>, and of course, Pet Shop Boys<\/em>!<\/p>\nWhy is there ALWAYS a rivalry with females in pop music. Tiffany vs. Debbie Gibson<\/em> \/ Paula Abdul vs. Janet Jackson<\/em> \/ Britney vs. Christina Aguilera<\/em> \/ Cyndi Lauper vs. Madonna<\/em> \/ Duffy or Adele<\/em> – Now it's Little Boots vs La Roux.<\/em> Why is that? Kinda silly to an extent?<\/span> It is silly and I'm very bored of people trying to make it a rivalry as I think La Roux<\/em> has some brilliant songs! I am hoping to see her perform them live this weekend at Sonar. Saying that, I don't think it's just girls…Blur vs Oasis<\/em>? Sex Pistols & The Clash<\/em>?? It's nothing to do with gender, the press just love pitching artists against each other in the hope of getting a reaction! <\/p>\nSo there is this massive rumour going around – Are you opening for Pet Shop Boys in the states? Can you put any PSB collaboration rumours to rest for us…<\/span> I would absolutely love to, but as far as I'm aware we have not been asked!<\/p>\nYou're probably the most well known person from Blackpool at the moment – Are you proud of being from Blackpool – does your Blackpool roots stay with you everywhere you go?<\/span> I would hope so and I'm very proud to be from Blackpool, although Chris Lowe<\/em> probably beats me with the Blackpool thing!<\/p>\nAre you sick of Lady Gaga<\/em> yet or do you really dig what she's doing?<\/span> I don't really think she's quite a walking piece of art or whatever she says but I think she's good fun and definitely livens ups the charts.<\/p>\nI saw a little YouTube video of you covering Sugababes "Overload"<\/em> – is that one of you're favorite songs?<\/span> Not sure if it's my favourite – but I think it's great!<\/p>\nHow is your boyfriend coping with you being the transatlantic pop diva you are now? Is it hard for both you and him or are you managing?<\/span> We do just fine, he's incredibly supportive and understanding – as well as equally busy…I think were both workaholics! But we travel a lot together and make time to get away from everything whenever we can.<\/p>\nWell that's it Victoria – thanks so much for your time. Any parting words for our EQ readers?<\/span> Hope you like the album! Kisses.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"You know, Little Boots wasn't an instant obsession with me.
