Steaming Ahead!
Clad in sequined denim, 4 girls jig their way around a train station in San Diego, USA... Yep! it's B*Witched and they're causing lo-comotion on the set of their new vid. Yikes! |
E=Edele L=Lindsay S=Sinead K=Keavy
So what's your new single "Jesse hold on", all about?
E: It's about a girl who's about to say "yes" to a guy that's after asking her to get married. K: She's on the way to say "yes" and is telling him to hold on a while. We started off writing it about our sister, Alison. It began about her being away since she lives here in USA, but then it changed... L: It's quite different track for us as it's very western and up-tempo. There's also a heavy influence banjo in there as well. E: But we haven't given up on the fiddle---that's in there too! Are you hoping for a 5th no.1? L: We don't ever hope for a no.1---but obviously our fingers are crossed and we'd love it! K: I think our fans would be more disappointed if we didn't get one! There's a lot of jigging about in this vid... L: We've gone really heavy on the dance routines for this one, but I think they look a lot more grown up. E: We've really pushed it to the limit. S: Especially in 100 degrees---It's really hard when you have to do take after take & still look as fresh as the 1st time---especially when you have blisters like I have! Do you still enjoy filming as much as you did at first? E: I enjoy making our videos, but I don't enjoy hanging around the whole day. S: I don't enjoy wake up at 5am, either! And what about dressing up as men? E, L, S, K: We all loved it! K: We hope we manage to fool everyone when they watch the video. We don't want them to realize it's us until the end... S: When Edele walked in, dressed in her outfit for the 1st time, we were screaming with laughter! (What!? Are we good-looking as boys?) E: We make beautiful boys, he-he! So if you could be a man for the day, who'd it be? K: I'd be Mel Gibson since I think he's gorgeous. I'd be him in one of Lethal Weapon films. S: I wouldn't mind that either. L: I'd be Brad Pitt so I could convince him to like Lindsay from B*witched. E: Keavy, who'd you say? I don't know... K: Say Santa Claus since you get to make kids happy! (all burst out laughing) Any plans to move into movies yet? L: We were actually asked to do a Disney movie called Lifesize, starring Tyra Banks. However, we didn't have time. E: But they're going to use some of our songs instead---C'est La Vie, Rollercoaster and they're after another, but I'm not sure which. K: I'm sure we'll get another chance. You know, if this one wasn't for us, it wasn't for us! Tell us a bit about the new album you're working on. K: We've experimented with different kind of music--it's a step up! S: We've recorder a track with an African choir, called "I shall be there". It sounds beautiful---it really put the finishing touch to the album. L: It was such a laugh doing it. They wouldn't stop singing, even we've finished recording! So have you changed since you've been to America? E: We've experienced so much & seen so many places... We're changing all the time & we grow up every month! S: We've learnt a lot more about the business as well. We're a lot wiser! Does that mean you're about to sack someone? K: Yes, I'm about to sack Sinead, Lindsay & Edele and go it on my own! Have you kept a diary of all your travels? K: No, we're too busy. I used to keep one but I stopped since I didn't like looking back on how I felt. S: I kept one for about 7 years but I got bored of it. When I read it now I can't believe I spent all that time writing things like," I washed my hair, I went to town..." So, are you looking forward to going home? E: I can't wait to get back to my own bed and my mom's cooking. I really missed it! L: Usually we all look forward to the same thing----hanging around at home doing nothing! S: I've bought a new apartment so I can't wait to get back and start decorating it. What couldn't you buy in America that you really missed? K: King crisps, Manhanttan popcorn L: Brennan's Bread S: Tea bags! American tea is awful! E: American don't boil the kettle properly, the water is never hot enough! Have you managed to keep up-to-date with the UK charts? E: Not really, only the number ones! K: So we know about Ricky Martin & S club 7. What? Are we nervous about the new bands? No, not at all. I think our fans are really loyal and nowadays it's alright to like more than one band. Finally, what's your plan for re-claiming the charts when return to England? E: Basically, we're just going to be ourselves. K: Working hard & having fun! We have our tour coming up, the album it's going to be great! L: We'll be having fun at the same time. S: ... and hopefully, that'll work for us! |
