Lolene

Exclusive LSpot Interview

by Melanie Jones

With her quirky, tongue-in-cheek lyrics, universal pop melodies and trademark curly hair, British dance floor Barbarella Lolene is a hot topic. Coining the term, "awkward pop," Lolene describes her sound as "Joan Collins in Dynasty, Studio 54, white jump-suits, and disco balls."


Raised by a single mother and "independent by default," Lolene is a native of Bristol, England where she grew up mastering tap, jazz dance, and ballet before discovering, as a teen, that music was her true calling.
Lolene began writing songs and singing backing vocals for trip-hop artist Martina Topley-Bird and local drum and bass pioneer Roni Size. After completing school, she moved to London and fronted a short-lived girl group. With a knack for writing melodies and lyrics, she wrote all the group's material and signed to a development deal at BMG Records.


Armed with nothing but a suitcase and a demo CD, she moved to Hollywood in search of her big break. She was quickly discovered by multi-platinum producer Jonathan "J.R." Rotem who signed her to his publishing label Beluga Heights/Sony ATV. She went to work as a songwriter, collaborating with such heavy-hitters as Andreas Carlsson, Christopher Rojas, Makeba Riddick , Evan Bogart, Danja, Harvey Mason Jr., and Christina Milian, for whom Lolene penned the single "Diamonds" featuring Kanye West.


"Sexy People" is the delicious first track and video from her highly anticipated debut album The Electrick Hotel, set to be released on Capitol/EMI Records early 2010 .

I had the great pleasure of sitting in my car in the parking lot of Gilda's Club spending a few minutes on the phone with this talented artist. Here is what she had to say...COMING SOON! March 7th

Urban inspiration: abstract expression -

New Works by Ashleigh Sumner~ Artist Reception:

Saturday April 3rd - 5-8pm~

Show runs: April 1 - 30, 2010~In her paintings, Sumner attempts to incorporate the implied visual of densely populated urban landscapes with the raw, gritty texture of industrial areas. With a palette knife, she applies several layers of bold color by scraping paint across wood panels or canvas. Sumner then incorporates strong accents of black through out the piece. Finally, resin is introduced into the process to render added depth and to convey a modern, veneer surface to the artwork. Her film work includes a lead role in the indie film, "And Then Came Lola" which has played every major gay and lesbian film festival across the globe. Ashleigh's performance in "And Then Came Lola" earned her Advocate Magazine's "One to Watch" honor at the 2009 Out Fest sponsored by HBO. Dezart One Gallery~ 2688 Cherokee Way .
