[Interview] 'OH!PRESS' : Meet the Newest Female Rapper, 'ARTLOVER (아트러버)'
OH!PRESS : Congrats on your first ever single! How was it like working on this track (Want U Back)?
ARTLOVER : Thank You, I collaborated with professional people such as Max billion and Tae-Seop Lee (Twice, Day6) at JYP entertainment. I wanted to write a song that would evoke a picture the head of the listener and I hope the result gives off a strong mood to the audience. I also wanted to visualize my concept along with the music, so we made a music video which will come out in a few weeks. I did creative directing and styling with retro clothing and collaborated with a fashion photographer.
OH!PRESS : What made you want to become a rapper from being a make-up artist?
ARTLOVER : I liked to dance and perform in front of people in a school when I was a kid and I got a lot of lessons from listening to hip-hop by Eminem and 50cent in middle school. I was always surround by artistic people when I work in Fashion industry in London so it was a natural step. For me it was the ultimate way of realizing a vision.
OH!PRESS : Do you have any dreams or goals as a rapper? For example, performing at a certain music venue or collaborating with another artist?
ARTLOVER : It would be awesome to collaborate with G-dragon or Bruno Mars! My goal is following my everyday plan and see what comes to me.
OH!PRESS : If not already, do you see yourself involved in writing lyrics or composing your own music?
ARTLOVER : For this song I played the chords (F#m C#m D E), and loved them, I thought it represented me really well. After I did the basic chord progression I brought it to the professionals.
OH!PRESS : What is a genre of music/concept that you would like to try?
ARTLOVER : So Many! As a new artist, I don’t want to give myself too many boundaries. I love Jazz and rock as well (Amy Winehouse, Imagine dragons).
OH!PRESS : What can fans expect in your debut EP, if you can give any hints.
ARTLOVER : I’m thinking of a more strong sound and visual concept than the single track. I may try to combine the rap with new ideas and influences, I experimented with Punk, let see if it will end up on there!
OH!PRESS : As a new rap artist, where do you see yourself in the next 5 years?
ARTLOVER : In Seoul and LA, surrounded by all the talented artistic people.
