It is not often you come across a chic and
beautiful woman who is all over town telling everyone who cares to listen how
much she loves her husband. At least that's what Lami Philips is trying to do
with 'Baby', a track she said she dedicates to her husband. She recently
completed the video in London and back at home WG ran into the suave beauty at
an event where she talked about her career, her kind of music and more.
Excerpts:
You
look so beautiful even without any make-up
Thanks. Fact is that I just got back from
rehearsals for a new video I'm shooting and I got all sweaty but had to quickly
wipe my face with a towel inside the car
So
what's new?
We just released a new single called 'Baby
Mi' and we are shooting another one and that's why I've been all out.
What is
it about 'Baby Mi'?
Well, it was a song I wrote while I was in
the studio. I was actually thinking about my husband and that's how the
inspiration came. So I just told my producer and we got few things down and
that's how we did the song.
What
did your husband say when you told him the song was all about him?
Of course he blushed. He liked it. I'm just
blessed to have the kind of husband I have. He's been very supportive. He's the
voice in the background who has been urging me to go for whatever I want.
So your
next single involves some kind of dance?
Yeah. The title is called 'Romantic Boy'.
It's a kind of dance-hall song, something more fun and playful.
So it's
for the 'Romantic Boy' that you want to infuse some dance steps?
Yes. I just want to do something fun and
playful this time around. That's why you see that I've been going for dance
rehearsals because we are shooting soon.
Does it
mean you are rebranding because your previous albums don't contain such?
I won't want to call it re-branding because
it's who I've always been. I've always been the playful and fun type so it's
like putting who I am into the song. If you look at my last album 'Intuition',
you'll notice that it's strictly soul. But this new album from where we
released 'Baby' and now 'Romantic Boy', it'll still be my usual kind of songs
but more fun will be added to it.
Would
you say you are infusing dancehall to gain more acceptance out there?
Well, I’m already accepted because I have my
own fan base. Those who love my music love my music and I’d rather be one among
many than join the rat race out there today. So Lami has been the fun type all
along so I’m just trying to be more playful and fun in my music rather than be
gloomy.
You
look a bit chubby now.
Yes. But I’m working out now. The reason is
because I had to take a break to rest because I just needed to. So during the
break, all I did was rest, stay indoors, travel and eat because I love food a
lot.
