Willa Ford sexysexobsessive
an interview by will caron
Back in 2001, Amanda Williford (aka
Willa Ford) took the pop scene by
storm with her smash hit "I wanna
be bad", but as quickly as she
graced the magazine covers, MTV and
the radio airways, she then disappeared
just as quick. Well now she is back,
but don't call it a come back because
she was never really gone, she has
been working on her new album "Sexysexobsessive".
The first single of the new album,
"A Toast to Men", with its
catchy chorus, "Fuck the men,
let's drink to us" is rapidly
gaining popularity in the clubs.
Will Caron: So where have you been
for the last 2 years?
Willa Ford: It takes time to make
a record! There is a difference in
artistry. One thing people don't recognize
is that I write all of my own music
and I am on all of my production of
music. And that is where I have been
Working!
WC- You wrote the whole album?
WF - Yes, I wrote this album. How
I would start a song is that I would
walk in the studio with an emotion
that day and just run with it. I pull
from everything that is going on with
my life and god knows there is enough
going on. You can write things all
day long. I am 23 now, so relationships
are a big issue right now and that
is what music is really about. It's
relationships, so it is fun.
WC - Your first single "A toast
to men", is not too guy friendly.
Who hurt you?
WF - That is what the record company
picked up on and said let's do this.
All relationships start off happy,
and then they turn sour, then I write
songs about that relationship. The
whole record is based on this. It's
an emotional roller coaster, but it
is wonderful because even though I
am going through all these things,
I've experienced so much more than
people my age have. I don't know,
I have had some weirdos. I don't know,
that just may be my taste for right
now.
WC - Any truth to the rumors that
you are seeing Mike Modano (hockey
stud for the Dallas Stars)?
WF - OH GOD! Mike and I have been
really quiet on the relationship front.
We found it to be better that way.
He is a really private guy. He is
a lot older, more mature in a lot
of ways, but also immature in a lot
of ways (laughs). It's attractive
to me when someone has goals and they
work hard for it. You accomplish something
and that is why I am attracted to
these men who are extremely successful.
WC - How was your relationship with
Nick Carter from the Back Street Boys?
WF - Nick has no fucking clue in which
way he is going.
WC - In the press I see two different
Willa Fords. I see one being the girl
I could take home to mom and then
I see that girl I want to take home
and spank. Who is the real Willa?
WF - (laughs) Well, it depends on
what day of the week it is. I am the
same girl that you can take home to
mom, but when I'm not in front of
mom you can then spank me.
WC - Are you the original bad girl
of pop?
WF - Depends on what you mean by bad.
Does this mean I am going to strip
off my clothes? No, I don't feel like
that right now. Right now I have a
lot to say and I am going to say it
now. So if I want to say fuck you,
FUCK YOU, if I want to say I love
you, I will say I love you. And at
different times, I might be in different
moods, but by no means am I ever hostile
or mean to anyone for no reason. But
I will if you mess with my family
or come at me. I will tear you a new
ass.
WC - You know, I'm almost sorry I
asked that question.
WF - That is my personality, I am
all of those things and don't catch
me at a bad time (laughs).
WC - Whom, right now, do you listen
to that influences you?
WF - Bjork, I like the strange rock
aspects. My new stuff is a cross between
Evanescence and Madonna vibe. I like
weird sounds, weird things. I don't
even turn on the normal radio anymore.
WC - There are only about 5 songs
on the radio and they all include
P.Diddy.
WF - Yeah, yeah. I wish the whole
scene could be reworked and it not
be so political. People need to understand
if it was not so political there would
be no band wagon aspects, one artist
selling 10 million records.
WC - Any future tour plans?
WF - I will be touring once the album
is out. What type of tour all depends
on how well the album does. I would
love to do a college tour. That would
be awesome. I am a really hard worker
and my brain is always thinking of
the next best thing. You never know
what I am going to do next.
WC - So what's next?
WF - I have been out in LA and I have
been in cahoots with Angelina Jolie's
agent and we have been talking about
what I want to do as far as breaking
into film. My personality leads me
more into doing something else such
as film. The album is done and I have
the time, so why not..
