Put aside the lazy comparisons to Florence + The Machine: Danish-born Fallulah is determined to carve her own name into industry stone – and her debut album delivers the goods. Wonderland<\/em> scored an exclusive download off The Black Cat Neighbourhood from her. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

You’re originally from Copenhagen but now live in New York – how have both places defined you as a musician?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Denmark is where I\u2019ve built my career from, and I\u2019ve been lucky to feel greatly supported by my fans here. New York was the place where I realised my true calling. The music just completely took over my mind. The city really helped me define who I am as a person. <\/p>\n

Tell us about your album.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Black Cat Neighbourhood is an extremely personal album. A lot of emotions are in the songs, and making the album was my way of breaking free from this person I didn\u2019t want to be. I always felt different inside from what I allowed people to see. <\/p>\n

You moved to New York to study dance and your father is a choreographer. Is dance still a big part of your life or have your priorities changed since becoming a musician?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I knew I had to make a choice between dancing and being a singer-songwriter, and it was an easy one. I wanted to be the creator, the storyteller and the judge of me. As a writer I have a direct way to communicate with a lot of people. When I was a dancer it often felt like I was always aiming for certain goals, instead of enjoying the process, and would interpret other people\u2019s ideas and thoughts. <\/p>\n

You say that your album is you telling stories. Is songwriting your way of escapism?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Strangely enough I’ve just written a song for my next record with the working title ‘Escapism’. Songwriting to me is the complete opposite of escapism. It\u2019s about going into my feelings, especially the uncomfortable ones, and exploring what\u2019s in there.<\/p>\n
