Just in case these get buried, I think it's important to make a thread for them as they're popping up out of nowhere.Here's the first from PopJustice which focuses more on the new album:And here's a lovely, really insightful one where Alison talks about the creative process and her advice to artists.If there's any more do let me know and I will edit.

No problem peeps. Just love hearing what this woman has to say, even if she doesn't really herself. :-P

Lets hope that pet thing is true and farmer not just...
I take the needle off the Technics and put it in my vein -
The most significant bit of that interview is:
My voice has definitely changed! It’s dropped! I’ve always had quite a big vocal range, but for instance, the operatic note that I hit at the beginning of ‘Utopia’, which is on my first album – I just can’t sing that operatic bit anymore unfortunately.
Oh, my God. Her upper register is stunning and to be unable to sing all of Utopia anymore must be a real heartache for her.The Moving Finger writes; and, having writ.
Moves on: nor all thy Piety nor Wit.
Shall lure it back to cancal half a line,
Nor all thy Tears wash out a Word of it. -
I don't get the impression she's broken up about it. She seems quite zen about things these days -- was it the first interview in which she was asked what her look would be for the new album/videos and she said something about looking like a 50-something woman and being very proud of that? Pretty sure she hasn't been singing the opening of Utopia for a while now, too, right?Anyway, something feels missing from the video for me... I think it's the lack of Alison in the latter half. It would have been more interesting to me if she were a little more involved in the action. I feel like we're missing a.. point of view? I mean, who are these women other than interesting looking models and dancers posing in the desert?

Wow, might be the best interview so far.Anyone else get a pang of jealousy when the interview talks about the tracks from Silver Eye that they've heard?
Howdy, Stranger!
