Interview - Terra Perú

Do you feel comfortable with your "punk-rock pricess" label? (Laughs)That is the label a lot of people gave me, so it's a bit funny, but I don't really care. Rock princess, punk princess, whatever. So, you don't really have a problem with that? No. Really, I don't really think I'm punk by any means, nor my music. Definitely I'm closer to pop-rock, but I think my attitude and the way I see myself is what made the people label me that way. You've got a lot of fans who have grown up with you, they were teenagers when your first album was released and now they are adults. Do you feel that you are still writing songs for them or are you trying to attract new audiences, like 10 years ago? Yes, I feel some fans have grown up with me, and it's great because I've seen that people growing old. I definitely notice they are different now, and it's great. So, there are two different audiences mixing together, the first generation and the new one. Yes, I think so. Even though you are promoting your last album "Goodbye Lullaby", you are already writing songs for your next album. How are you going on that? According to reports, you already have almost 8 songs ready. Actually, those are songs that didn't make this album, already composed. From time to time, I write a songs while I'm on tour, but I normally wait until it ends to come back to recording studio. I'm working really hard right now, concentrated on my Southamerica tour, basically. What about all those other things you do? Designing clothes, perfumes you promote. I have a new fragance called "Wild Rose" and I also have a clothing line, called Abbey Dawn. It's all very funny, whether it's clothes or perfumes, everything is interconnected, it's all together and it's very good to not only do music, but also having other projects and being able to create. Regarding the sound of your songs, I read you are focusing on romantic songs right now, with a calmer tone but you are planning to go back to more upbeat and rocker songs. Yes, I think I have two different sides. I love the sound of a rock song and have fun with that, but I also love the sound of a piano or a acoustic guitar. I enjoy performing various type of songs. I feel that this new album, even though it has some more-pop songs, is a more intimate production, emotion-wise. You are known for having covered some different artists like Metallica, Bob Dylan or John Lennon, did you plan to perform some? Yes, I'm not sure, sometimes I decide it at the last minute, just at the concert, so I don't know. But I'm going to play songs from my old albums, my new album, different singles and hits. So, your fans can expect anything in your show? Yes! It's all about the music, me and my band, a revision of all my songs, so go! xo Friday Dawn
