"I think there's a big massive gap to what a successful career can look like if you work in entertainment. Whether you are anything from an influencer to an actor, to an artist, whatever it is, l'd like to set a bar for what that looks like..”
I’ve watched leigh’s new video of doing an interview with Julie Adenuga. It’s such a natural and just honest conversation that I’ve never really seen. They talk about so many raw topics in a way that you may not have watched it done before.
Leigh explains her top 5 Rihanna songs and shows that we may like the same music artist but our view on who they are and what they mean to us is different. Which I get, you know, we may all like Little Mix, but our fav songs will be different, we started liking them at different stages in our lives, or we have a meaning for listening to them.
One point they are talking about Pythagoras' and how you never use it after secondary school, which is true. And then they go on and talk about being a mum, especially with twins and why she has decided to keep her kids private as they may grow up not wanting to be on socials (if they do then that's fine as well). Then a bit on family life and what Leigh's going to teach her kids as they grow up.
When Leigh mentions everything she went through in school and being picked on by the boys, it brought a tear to my eye. I hate to see her going or have experienced something so bad just because of who she is.
Throughout this interview, they mention bits on the differences on being solo now compared to being in a band. Some bits Leigh are nervous for which I get and some bits she's very excited. She tells Julie if they win, I win, we all have to win' (talking about Perrie and Jade). They're still best of sisters as their group chat is their safe space, each of them understand the journey of being in the industry more than anyone else.
One more thing she talks about 'Don't Say Love'. The music video and it's concept of running away from 'said' person. The idea of Leigh making a 100% visual album, where every song has a music video and it all goes into a film I think.
Now, I loved this interview so much, as you can probably tell. I love it how Julie has supported and made it a fun conversation with Leigh instead of one of those formal sit opposite of each other type conversations, it's more relaxed and open.
It’s called Art! It’s a powerful thing! Can you feel it? You got to love it! 💕👌🏾
Let’s embrace our hair, our cultures, our lives.💫
