Today we're spending Seven Questions In Heaven with Millie Go Lightly!
Describe your music for our readers who may not be familiar with you.
I think of my music as my dark side. I like to let loose in my lyrics. Good girl gone bad is maybe a bit cliche to say, but it has a sensual, powerful streak, which is a side of my personality that I don't often share with the world so it's fun to get that across lyrically. I also like to write songs which are a bit more sass-queen and tongue in cheek. If I had to describe my music visually, I think Brigitte Bardot in a pair of Jordans sums it up.
Who are your musical influences and idols?
I took a lot of influence from R&B and soul music. As a kid I listened to a lot of classic American soul, The Drifters and The Platters still stand out to me melodically. My mum then bought me 50 Cent's The Massacre when I was 11 (sorry mum!) and then rap became the word! The past few years the light bulb moment for me musically has been Lana Del Rey's Born To Die album. I think her work taught me the importance of tying visuals and themes together along with the music, and also how songs can be a continuum between each other. Fleetwood Mac have also influenced me. I once chased Lindsay Buckingham down a street in London. I can't even front, that was embarrassingly recent.
What was the first album, cassette, or CD you bought with your own money?
The first single I can remember asking my mum for was the Jason Nevins Run DMC remix of "It's Like That." The first album I bought myself was In The Zone, I still listen to it all the time. "Breathe On Me" is killer.
