Just a guy who likes to be by himself, likes to do a lot by himself and loves Versace.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What kind of music do you make?<\/strong><br \/>\nMost of the time I just call it soul music. It&#8217;s psychedelic and poppy too, and hip-hop is a big part of it. I&#8217;ve called it things like &#8216;pineapple camel funk&#8217; or &#8216;intergalactic R&amp;B&#8217;, but at the heart of all that I&#8217;m striving for the feeling that old, gritty soul music gives me.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You\u2019ve been compared to the likes of Gnarls Barkley, Jai Paul and Prince but your artistic roots stem from Georgia, USA. How has this influenced your sound?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;m a blues lover and I love the work songs and spirituals that more or less originated there. It&#8217;s all very painful, but very real too. Apart from that, Georgia is quite special in that it produced so many great artists. If you take a town like Macon, for example, which has brought forth Little Richard, Otis Redding AND James Brown&#8230; It&#8217;s just ridiculous.<\/p>\n<p><iframe src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/OiBM8KZVHyI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Heal sees you collaborate with Blur legend Damon Albarn. What was it like working with such an established artist?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Damon did some additional production on a few songs, and Heal is one of them. It was pretty cool working with him. I think we&#8217;re both quite laid-back but serious and clear-cut in the studio &#8211; making decisions wasn&#8217;t hard at all.<\/p>\n<p><strong>What\u2019s an average day in the life of The Child of Lov?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I wake up, make coffee, do an interview, listen to some D&#8217;Angelo, turn on my computer and start making beats. When I&#8217;m satisfied enough, I get out, go to the barber, get a hamburger or something, and go home to search pictures of Kim Kardashian online.<\/p>\n<p><strong>A multi-instrumentalist, singer, songwriter and producer, you\u2019re a man of many talents. Where did you learn to be so dynamic?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong><\/strong>Well, discipline and devotion I guess. I didn&#8217;t come from a very musical family. We did have a piano at home and I had some lessons when I was like 8, but I didn&#8217;t really practice, so that was not a big success. Later, when I was like 14 or 15, I taught myself some piano chords, and started getting into playing guitar as well. I already made beats and I&#8217;ve been a hip-hop lover as long as I can remember. Slowly, I also started getting more comfortable with singing, and I started picking up a bass guitar now and then too, so I guess gradually everything just came together.<\/p>\n<p><strong>So you\u2019re a pretty tricky character to tie-down. Is fame something that scares you?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>No, not at all &#8211; I just wanted the music to lead. Music with a lot of context can sometimes distort, I think. I just want the music to have a real chance starting off. Apart from that, it has given me some space to gradually get used to everything going on at the moment.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You once tweeted \u2018honeys over bitches\u2019 \u2013 are you a romantic at heart?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Sure, haven&#8217;t you heard <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=221SQWT0Rv0\">Rotisserie<\/a>? Haha. I love sweetness in a woman, but then again, bitches need Lov too!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Have you got plans for an album?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Yeah, the album is coming out in 2013. I just hope to reach the right people with it. Can&#8217;t wait to share all these songs with the world, man.<\/p>\n<p><em>Heal is out now on 7&#8243; and iTunes. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/thechildoflov\">facebook.com\/thechildoflov<\/a><\/p>\n<p><em>Words: Angus Griffin<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Retro, addictive and tinged with soul-infused tones, The Child of Lov is Domino Record\u2019s hottest new act.
