NL: I think it's quite sweet, either way. With teenage boys, what can you do? They can't help it. Their hormones are going wild. I don't mind if my posters are on the wall of a few teenage boys' bedrooms. The adult males are welcome to put up my posters, as well. To be honest, I've been visiting radio stations and doing acoustic sets, and most of the calls have been coming in from women. I find that interesting, because I'm such a girl's girl. You know, I'm one of the girls, so I'm glad the female audience has gotten that from me.
PB: So, how great is it to be the gal who brings dark maturity to bouncy pop tunes?
NL: Well, you're kind of on the right track there. Lyrically, my songs are fairly dark and edgy, generally from my personal experience. At the same time, they're sexy and hypnotic. Honestly, I just set out to do something that was different. I'm quite pleased with the album, thank goodness.
PB: Do you mind being thought of as a pop star?
NL: If people start thinking of me as a pop girl, that's hopefully a sign that I'm making lots of money and that I'm famous. At that point, I wouldn't care. I think if anyone takes the time to listen to the album and the lyrical content, it's easy to realize that I'm not a little pop princess.
PB: But you seem comfortable embracing the pop stereotype.
