Interview: Lady Sovereign - Page 4

So, I know you’re a sneaker fan…

LS: Uh uh…

So what’s your favorite pair of sneakers right now?

LS:  I only wear Adidas. So, I just got these ones made by Adidas and they’ve got lights in the stripes. And I’m the only person like, rockin’ a pair of ‘em

Oh, excellent…

LS: So I’m gonna set a trend. I’m never gonna be able to get them in this country cause they’ll think I’m a shoe bomber. Cause they have the little battery things in the sole and everything.

Oh, lord.  Those sound really cool though. 
Do you have like an Adidas sneaker/hoodie combo that you do?

LS: I’ve got so many combos! It’s fun, just like mixing and matching all that.


Do you have a favorite?

LS: You know what? Just whatever looks good is my favorite but I’ve got every single color, apart from pink.

Is the whole sneaker phenomenon more popular in the States than in the UK?

LS Um…nah, people are big on sneakers in the UK (singing) But they ain’t got shoes like mine. It’s always like “Sovereign where do you get your shoes from?!” I’m like, "well you know."  It’s always like “Get me a pair please!” I’m like “Aww, come off it.” “I’ll pay you, I’ll pay you!” and I’m like “I don’t want your money”.

So, musically, what are you listening to right now? What are you into?

LS: Right now? Um… There’s this guy called Mickey Avalon. I think he’s funny. He’s good. You know, my Ipod, I just listen to that lately because you know, I haven’t got myself time to sit down and find out what’s going on these days,  which is a bit shameful, but you know. And I like early Hip Hop anyway. So my Ipod is good.

So you’re touring a lot now?

LS: Yeah, like I start my headline tour in October 24th.

So where are you starting out?

LS: Where?

Yeah, like where is the headlining tour starting out?

LS: Uh, somewhere in America, I don’t know where.


So it’s an American tour?

LS: Yeah, yeah…

Is it international or just American?

LS: Just American for now, but like, I’m going to Japan in like about a week and a half, as well.

You excited about that?

LS: Yeah man. (Laughs) Bigtime.

    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.
