"Just be as YOU are"
'The clothes are disposable, the attitudes going nowhere'
It looks like 2011 will be there year of the Good girls gone BAD! Not being one to disappoint, Tallulah-Mai shows exactly why she's rocks hottest property! She's rocked out another break up inspired album with a dark 'i dont care' twist, showing her pain really is our gain! The lead singer of Rebelle Fleur ticks all the boxes and quite frankly we can't get enough, today I'm going to delve a little deeper, seeking out musical gossip, fashion and love life secrets locked up in her sexified rock closet.


The Rebelle Fleur singer seems thrilled to be being interviewed, known for her controversy she sat down, kicked of her insanely high heels and got comfy, I could tell from the word go she was ready to get some things off her chest, and would be open to answer any question I threw her way. She was ready to play, 'Hit me with what you got, i'm ready for this' she joked, throwing me a cheeky wink followed by a dirty laugh that hit me, I knew this was going to be fun.


As we sat getting acquainted, she pulled out her heavily gemmed blackberry, went online and tweeted, 'attitudes in top form, ready for my interview', Tallulah already had a clear idea of how she was going to handle this interview, holding nothing back. I was itching to find out what life was like being thrown in the celebrity spotlight at just 15. '15? I've been modelling since i was 2, no child wants to work, you want to get f***ing filthy and run around with pants on your head, but I had no choice back then. I've always been aware of the celebrity lifestyle, living it is a completely different thing, the fame I have now is cause of Rebelle Fleur. I'm constantly photographed, even when i'm looking rough, I read so many lies about myself (laughs) but it goes with the territory, i wouldn't change it for anything, you've just gotta role with the punches and take what you can get!'


The conversation then changed to her writing and promotion for Rebelle Fleur, intrigued what the indie rock band had lined up for 2011. 'Writing is like my child, I'll lock myself up for days and won't let anyone hear what I'm working on until i know its perfect, then I'll let people judge it. I'm not going to feel comfortable with people criticizing it unless I'm happy with it myself, then if you don't like it, you just don't f***ing listen to it (laughs). I had to admire her honesty. 'As for Rebelle Fleur, we've been offered to support Rihanna and Paramore on tour with other big bands such as Frightened Rabbit, which is f***ing cool. It's so surreal, these are people we'd normally listen to, so to perform with them is major for us, but we're good at what we do (laughs) so we're gonna kick a**! Other than that, we've got our follow up album, which is going to be released 5th of February, and will be performing at Reading and Leeds Festival.' Right then a big grin spread across her face, I could see the excitement in her eyes for the release of her second album, and Rebelle Fleur's involvement in festivals for 2011. 'It's a step above our first album, they were like our introductory songs, this album is basically saying we're her and we don't give a sh*t about what we say any more, we've not played safe, its a dangerous album, we can't wait to see what people say about it'.


After making it to 8th position on the worlds top 10 sexiest females, I was dying to know how she felt about being up there competing with the sexiest diva's of the fame world. (laughs) 'What a joke ayy! I'm constantly slated for how I dress and how I present myself, yet I'm awarded for being sexy. The way I dress is the way I am, I'm not a little kid playing dress up. It's all very real. The clothes are disposable, i can change the way i dress whenever i like, but the attitude's going nowhere, if you don't like, don't look at me!'


The conversation then turned to her band mates as I started to ask about any in band secrets and what the chemistry within the band was like. 'The three of us get on like brother and sister, being with two guys, i'm constantly out voted on everything, and we're not partial to an argument every now and then, but thats what helps us stay grounded, if we're acting like tw*ts, we'll tell eachother, it soon makes you come back down to earth'. I could sense the admiration she had for her band members, it was easy to see their friendships weren't forced for the sake of the band. 'Jack (guitarist) is the loudest of us all, we're all pretty wild, but he's extreme with everything he does, his wild side comes out where ever we go, he's always playing tricks on people and having a laugh. Where as Billy (drummer) always has his head down writing lyrics with me, knocking out the hits, his alter ego comes out on stage though, its like the lights go up and the diva comes out (laughs). As for secrets we all love to get p***ed as much as anyone, but we know our limits, we've learnt from previous mistakes what to do and not to do, we're all pretty loved up so there's never any funny business either, (laughs).'


As my interview drew to a close, I could see Tallulah was the real deal. She had the wardrobe of a rock star, and the attitude to match, I knew she was in it for the music and massively keen on staying down to earth, with her take no nonsense approach, holding nothing out of bounds to discuss. Her passion and excitement for Rebelle Fleur filled the room, only making room for me, her and her cigarette smoke. Her new album is set to be the most controversial release of 2011, she won't be running scared from the criticism it may receive, the one thing I know is with the new album and her plans to tour and gig, Rebelle Fleur is set to take the music industry by storm, holding no prisoners. I predict they'll be huge this year. Watch this space!
