Siobhan Donaghy - Spookababe
It's always nice when someone you've admired from afar turns out to live up to your expectations when you actually get talking to them, innit?
I spoke to Siobhan Donaghy recently. She's the girl who co-founded the Sugababes while still at school, then quit after their first album, to be replaced by Heidi Range. She then released a solo album, which was very good, and everyone said so, but it didn't sell in Suga-quantities so she and her record label parted company.
Which, in normal showbiz tales, would be the end of the story. But Siobhan just kept tinkering away at her tunes, coming up with a strange new brew which is part frostypop, part gothic shiver and part wafty ghost noises. And now she's got a new record label and a new album 'Ghosts'.
This time can everyone just blimming BUY the thing? Thanks...
Anyway, what with the album title and the general ethereal nature of her tunes, it seemed a good time to ask Siobhan about her interest in things which cannot easily be explained.
What I Expected: A really cold reception, possibly a diva strop, or maybe even a hex being put on me. She's quite stern-looking, don't you think?
What I Did Not Expect: A giggly chat about New Scientist magazine, an onstage seance, fire-dancing, and to be told off for being 'silly'.
