Interview to Access Mag!
Q: I asked a younger female friend about interviewing you and she liked the idea because she felt you were normal and healthy. How difficult is it to be “normal and healthy” in your line of work?
I don’t think it’s very difficult at all, actually. But I think that’s because I don’t live in Hollywood. I live in Texas, and I have a normal life.
Q: I’ve read that you declined the services of so-called “hit” songwriters on this album. Why is that?
That’s not entirely true. I didn’t “decline” anyone’s services. People did send me songs, but I think in the end all of the songs ended up being rip-offs of ‘Since You’ve Been Gone’. A person from my label sent me a song that another artist [Lindsay Lohan] already sang on her previous record. I was like ‘what?’ They just weren’t sending me stuff that I was interested in. I didn’t mean to write the whole record, it just kind of happened.
Q: This album is arguably darker than your previous work. What kind of an album did you set out to make with My December?
I just set out to make a cohesive album, like a story. Most of my songs on both of my [previous] albums were done by five different teams of producers. Which is great, I love both of the albums, but I wanted to try it with one team and kind of do it almost like the old school days where there was just one team working on the record and it wasn’t about making sure we had five number one singles, it was about making sure we had a great record in general.
Q: What story did you want to tell?
I’ve had really great stuff that’s happened over the past two years and some really hard stuff. So I think it’s just [that] I wanted to tell the story of that. I think we all go through experiences for a reason and I think that’s to share it with everybody else.
Q: The first single, ‘Never Again’, is a very bitter song. Did writing and recording it make you feel better about the relationship that inspired it?
Oh, definitely. I wrote and recorded ‘Never Again’ over two years ago. I definitely like to write the song and record it right then when I’m going through it. Because I don’t think you’re going to capture those emotions [otherwise].
Q: ‘Sober’ is a lovely track. Given that you claim to only drink occasionally, what does the metaphor of sobriety mean here?
Everyone has something in your life that you’re addicted to, regardless of what it is. You have something that holds you back and is kind of your comfort zone, and maybe not in a good way. So the song is all about not only saying you’re going to get past something, you’re going to get over it or quit doing it.
Q: It could also be about quitting someone.
Yeah, if you’re talking about a relationship as well. Actually, the only songs on the album about a relationship with a guy are ‘Don’t Waste Your Time’, ‘How I Feel’ and ‘Never Again’. Other than that the album is not about a guy. It’s actually a very narcissistic album. It’s very much about learning about myself. Some of the songs are almost beating myself up for doing stupid stuff.
Q: Does My December feel like a radical departure from your last two albums?
No! That’s the biggest joke I’m hearing lately. The record’s not that different. It’s a natural evolution from the previous records.
I think everybody blows that out of proportion. It’s not a rock record. Rock records are like Metallica or Aerosmith or The Toadies. It’s not that kind of record. Are there songs on the record that are very rock-influenced, like ‘Hole’ or ‘Judas’, ‘Never Again’? Definitely. But there’s also songs on there – ‘Be Still’ and ‘Sober’ and ‘Maybe’, ‘Irvine’... all these songs that are nothing like that.
So it’s not like a rock record, it’s a pop-rock record. And it’s not like a radical departure, but it definitely is a growth from where I’ve been.
Q: Do you think the new music’s relative darkness scared your label?
Every time I do a record they’re scared. When I came to them with Thankful or Breakaway, everybody always is like ‘oh, we don’t hear the hit’. You have to fight and fight and really stand up for yourself, which is fine because that means you really believe in it. Every record has been hard for me to get out.
Q: You’ve spoken about your struggles for artistic control. How much do you think being young and female makes those struggles even tougher?
I don’t really think it’s a male-female thing. I do think that being young has to do with it. You’re a rookie and you obviously don’t have the experience that everyone else around you has. But I think people do tend to look at you like ‘oh, you think you can do this?’ It’s good for me. It makes me want to push even harder in something I believe in.
Q: During my research, I came across a blogger who wrote a very compli-mentary thing about you in the wake of reports of your standing up to label pressure to change the new album. She wrote, “I am beginning to think that Kelly, much like [the] Wu-Tang Clan, ain’t nothing to f**k with.” [Laughs] I just think it’s really funny to put me and Wu-Tang in a sentence together!
It’s not like I’m this stubborn, willful idiot that doesn’t take other people’s opinions into consideration. It’s just that whenever I believe in something I go with it. I’m the first person to say ‘hey, I didn’t believe in this tour’. So what I did was I said, ‘You know what? I’m going to pull this one back and we’re going to go out and we’re going to tour when I want to tour’. I’m the first one to tell you if I don’t like something because I want to make sure everything I do is a representation of me and not someone else. Because this is my thing: if it’s going to fail, I’d rather it be because of my idea and not go down sinking because of someone else’s stupid idea I didn’t want to do in the first place. And I’m off my soapbox now. Whoo!
