Really?
LS: Rather than me being normal, that’s me experimenting.
So how did it feel to work with Dr. Luke for that?
LS: Yeah.
He’s worked with Kelly Clarkson who’s kind of this super pop star. How did you feel about that?
LS: I dunno. I find it funny, but in a good way. It’s different though like working with an American producer and someone with experience like him. It felt a bit different but yeah it was fun. It was a bit weird recording in America. I kinda prefer recording back home.
What were the differences? If there were any or was it just kind of a sense of where you felt comfortable?
LS: Um, I felt comfortable, but it’s a new experience for me, like, to sit in a really nice studio. Which is cool but overwhelming.
You were featured in a documentary about chavs.
LS: (chuckles) Yeah…
You’re trying to create a new image to go against the stereotype?
LS: Uh uh…
What’s your take on the situation? When people, say such negative things about it, what do you say to them?
LS: What? About the whole chav thing?
Yeah…
LS: See, I was on that program like a few years ago now, but I mean, I still get called a chav but… I dunno… I’m not a chav! Like, I’m not. But, I mean like, the way that people talk about it, yeah, it’s like disrespectful, know what I mean? And you know, it’s just the way some people are, know what I mean? You know, it’s discrimination, man! Like people make money off of selling books about chavs and like probably making fun of it. It’s funny yeah, but, you know, there are some horrible chavs out there and they really do get grilled for it, yeah, and I just look at them and I’m like “I’m NOT a chav”…Don’t even go there! You know what I mean? But…I’m a groomed chav.
Along that line, how’s the “Save The Hoodies” campaign going?
LS: I dunno, I haven’t checked it for a while. (Laughs) I mean, it’s still there…I mean…
Do you think that’s something that’s gonna change? Do you think they will allow hoodies in shopping malls and certain places, do you think that’s gonna change?
LS: There’s only a few places that don’t allow you to do that. Yeah… but if it does start kicking off again then I’ll just give them a little initiative to shut up (Laughs)

There's much more humor in this music than most Americans can appreciate. I don't think she thinks of herself as hard-edged at all in her music, she's having a blast and being fun wiv it.
