It's currently #15 on the HDD Building Chart with 6,000 copies sold - not bad for something randomly dropped!

I saw that earlier today. With another 1/5 yet to report, it may get closer to 8,000 - which means fans really do care.

Queen needs her own section. A travesty.

V Magazine - September 2016 Issue:

Who are your musical icons? 

“Icons” is a big for word for me and I don’t take it lightly. Vocally, there are three women who have stood out for me: Sinéad O’Connor, Billie Holiday, and Feist. I know those are very different women but there’s something about each one that has just really struck a chord with me.

Which artists are you listening to right now? 

Christine and the Queens is at the top of my list. On tour, the band boys got me into Leon Bridges. I’m really in love with [Blood Orange’s Freetown Sound], too.

My favorite part about touring would have to be…

Tour family. There’s a family feeling on tour that’s different from the family you grew up with.

How would you describe your style? 

I like to keep it kind of chill, especially in studio world, where it’s become just cut-off shorts and T-shirts. When I’m on stage, I like to play with fashion and feel the theatrics of a performance. I think that gets enhanced when you’re wearing something that’s a little more wild.

Do you ever get nervous before going on stage? 

I do. It’s really sporadic, though. When it does happen, it always shakes me a little, but in a good way. Oddly, I find that I perform a bit better when I’m nervous.

The best thing about being a performer is…

The connection that you get with the audience. There’s a moment for me in every performance where I feel like we’re all in it together. I think that’s why so many people are able to feel understood through music and find a subject that can create a connection like that in the room. It can be really magical.

Emotion: Side B is out now via Interscope.

Thank you! I love the gif in your signature.

Carly needs that veteran status tbh.

If she was huge in US, she would probably ignore Japan...so good for them. They get her all to themselves.

I will always be jealous of them, but I'll take anything I can get from Carly so It's fine.

Still hoping we get at least 1 video for Side B - Higher or Fever probably and a sinister video for Store.

There's a lyric video for First Time...so an official video for that song was shot. Whether we get it is the big question.

Please, vote in this poll if you haven't already. Thanks

I was in Tokyo a few months ago and it was the week when Emotion Remixed was released. I went to the Tower Records there and I died in Carly Heaven. There was a big shelf of her CDs and merchandise and her music was playing loud on the streets of Shibuya. She really is big there! I can't believe I was there on the first day of release of Emotion Remixed. I was smiling like I was crazy when I was paying for it in the cashier!
