I have thought of some questions for my article for my double page spread and here they are. I will also write an introduction for the article too and put it in another post.
How do you feel about the release of your debut album, Valour?
Isabella: I've had this album planned for a couple of years, I mean, I started writing songs at fourteen and ever since then I've always had an album name and songs for the album. I feel like this is something huge for me and to finally be able to release something that means so much to me honestly, it makes me feel so good and accomplished.
Is there any reason to your album and songs names?
Isabella: My album is called Valour because Valour is another word for bravery which as I was growing up, a lot of people told me I was very brave and courageous. My songs names are all based off of my growing up and inspirations to me. My first track "Flowers in Your Your Hair" sounds quite happy and is inspired by me as when I was younger my father used to place daisies in my hair. As you go through the album my song names get a little darker and each song progresses to something more in depth.
What inspired you to write your songs and your album?
Isabella: I went through a pretty rough time growing up and throughout my teenage years I dealt with a lot of depression and illness which inspired me to write as it gave me something to focus on and move forward for and it made me happy.
Is there a person who has inspired you or helped you write?
Isabella: Definitely. My mum has been a huge inspiration to me as she went through the same issues that I did and she has been my rock throughout. I am also deeply inspired by Demi Lovato, who went through the same problems too. I learnt from her that you just have to stay strong and keep going and she taught me that writing music helps you to cope.
How did you manage to tackle your problems?
Isabella: I took one day at a time and then slowly but surely I managed to get back on my feet. My mum was a huge help and I had great friends throughout school who guided me through it and I feel so much better!
Concerning your song, Sylvia, what is it about? What inspired it?
Isabella: Ah yes! I love my song, Sylvia. It's about Sylvia Plath, the writer. I wrote about her because her works are such a big deal to me and she is my favourite writer in the world. She struggled a lot and I felt like I had to have a tribute to her.
We've already heard that your album is starting to be a success, how do you feel about that?
Isabella: I'm so proud of myself for coming so far and I'm so glad I released this album and people are actually enjoying it so I have everyone who is buying it to thank for that! I'm very content.
A lot of people on social media are discussing your album and saying how it's helping them, is that what you wanted to come from your album?
Isabella: Hell yeah! I'm so so glad that people are listening to my album and discussing it. I'm very happy that people are using my music as a device to help them out, that makes me incredibly proud.
So, what's in store for you in the future?
Isabella: Well, I have a tour coming up in the summer and a lot of album signings around the UK. I'm hoping that I get to go to the USA one day so that everyone who likes my music is able to see it played live.
