Check out some of the official promo photos from Dutch singer Eva Simons. She has been making some waves online with her new video and song, “Silly Boy”.
She recently sat down for an interview with Digital Spy and spoke about her music, mohawk and the ‘Lady Gaga’ comparisons.
On the comparisons to Lady GaGa:
“I don’t really look like her, but I think people compare us because we’re both on the edge and we both like to be a bit freaky. We’re both a bit controversial and make people say, ‘What is she doing?’ I think it’s a compliment to be compared to her because she’s very good at what she does and she’s a writer too. Maybe we can work together one day? I’d love that.”On her album sound/release date:
“Very uptempo, very electronic and very exciting. The way I sing is quite urban, but the beats are going to be club beats and there will definitely be elements of rock too. I want to release it this year! I really want to release it this year, but they’re telling me it’s going to be the beginning of 2010 and there’s going to be another single first.”On her Mohawk:
“I’ve had it like this for three months. I saw this style in Tokyo a couple of years ago and thought ‘Nobody wears a Mohawk these days, so why don’t I try it?’ I comb it and make it flat before I go to sleep unless I’m feeling tired and lazy. And I have these hats that I can pull over it, but people are like ‘Why’s she wearing this massive hat?’ When I go to the gym people look at me like I’m some kind of conehead!”
Eva is fierce looking forward to her stuff. Know she’s going to be super big, there’s already big buzz surrounding her.
The Rihanna fans need to not take the comparisons too seriously. In the music biz, heck in the media, there is always someone who can replace you so you gotta stay on top of your game.
When Beyonce came out solo she was Queen B (she still is in my book), but then they tried to bring out Rihanna to takeover…that didn’t work so they switched up her style and did rock chick. In the space of time she’s been off Lady Gaga has come through and now this Eva chick. Let’s see if Rihanna and Gaga manage to stay on top of their game. I hope so because there should be enough room for all.
