Remi Nicole - When Phones Go Bad
Friends, we've been living through trying times. We've had Biblical weather - gales, floods, rain, more rain - and this has severely affected the nation's music-loving habits. Not for nothing has the No.1 throughout this entire ordeal been a song about an umbrella. And this does raise interesting questions about music's power over the world in which we live.
Enter Remi Nicole, a young songwriter from London with a perky little song called 'Go Mr Sunshine'. Has she come to save us from more elemental punishment? Only one way to find out.
By which I mean it's ChartBlog interview time again....
Sadly, in my haste to get in touch, I didn't reckon on catching Remi while she was out and about doing her chores. So, as you will hear when you listen, this entire conversation took place in front of the staff and customers of an O2 shop somewhere in London.
Some things just can't wait...
What I Expected: To be constantly interrupted by someone demanding Remi's bank details...some frank talk about how music is just music, and you're mad to expect to much from it...low tolerance for anyone linking Remi, Kate, Lily, Jack Penate and all the other young London-based pop writers into a 'scene'...
What I Did Not Expect: To uncover a closet hippy who likes songs to be about love, fun, and flowers..."Fraser who?"...a deep and meaningful about how music affects us all...and I've got a cold (for which Rihanna must bear a lot of responsibility), so I sound like I've got a sock in my nose, and I'm trying to sniff it into my brain...
