Loved this interview.
AE: The artists on the label would love you, of course.
VC: I would get along real well with artists.
And Razor & Tie — I needed to create this first, and then whatever relationship I ended up having with any label in the future, which would commence with Razor & Tie, would have to be based on what I’d already created. This is the direction of the rest of my life, this is the beginning of — I woke up. This is it. This is the beginning of a whole new path for me, in a certain way.
This part specifically because it makes me feel that Rabbits On The Run won't be Vanessa's last album
I thought the same exact thing when I read that - that she was feeling like she didn't want to make more albums (didn't she say that she didn't write "Heroes and Thieves" until Stevie pushed her into doing another album?) but now that she's "woken up" she wants to do more music. Exciting!
PS I love the KT Tunstall bit - she's another one of my favorites, so it's cool to see that they're friends.
And regarding the questions on coming out: After Ellen is an LGBT site so I'm not surprised at all they asked the questions. Vanessa definitely doesn't seem like the type of person to suddenly become a gay rights hero, though - she just does her own thing, I never considered her to be much of a campaigner or anything.
All in all a very cool interview!
