Lolene: It’s about living your dreams and believing in yourself. It’s about feeling like you're golden or living like you’re golden even if you have no money. PZO: You just filmed the video for that recently, right? Lolene: I just shot it. I’m so excited, babe. I shot it a day before yesterday; it was a two day shoot. It really was an amazing experience and I can’t wait to share it with you guys. PZO: On your twitter, you had a picture of yourself doing a stunt. How was that? Lolene: Yeah, I was practicing. That was a practice day. Oh my gosh, we did it at 4am and I was hanging from this wire looking like Kate Bush and it was fantastic and I was really tired by it I was just so happy to be doing that. Yeah, it’s a little surprise, you’ll see it. PZO: So you can’t give us any hints on what we’ll see? Lolene: I really want it be a surprise. I really do. It’s going to be very colorful and a real mixture of things, but it really captures the essence of the song and it has humor in it as well. PZO: When will the video be released?

I think it’s a great pop song and I think it’s going to be the summer anthem of this year. But my favorite song is “LionHeart” on my album. PZO: Why is that? Lolene: I really think it has both lyrical and vocal substance that you can appreciate if you’ve ever been in love. It’s about being brave enough to love and that's important because I’m an ambassador of love. It’s close to my heart. No pun intended. PZO: Given the opportunity, who would you kidnap for a day? Lolene: I would kidnap Barry Zito because he’s hot. PZO: Who’s that? Lolene: He’s a baseball player. PZO: What was the last meaningful thing you did? Lolene: The last meaningful thing I did was give a competition winner her name was LaShonte, she won my dancejam.com competition to appear in my video, and my last meaningful thing I did was to inspire her according to her and give her the best experience of her life she said. So that was really wonderful and meaningful. PZO: What event in your life had the greatest impact on you? Lolene: Gosh, so many it’s hard to condense to one. One memorable event was signing my record deal because I’d been trying for many years. It was something I worked hard for a long time and prayed for, so that really was the beginning of my journey from being a writer to an artist, so that had a big impact on me. PZO: What’s the best lesson you’ve ever learned? Lolene: The best lesson I’ve ever learned would have to be don’t take no for an answer. PZO: Would you rather everything you say be considered an insult or a turn on? Lolene: I don’t want to insult anybody, but I don’t want to come on to everybody. <laughs> I would like everything I say to be noted in the context in which I said it.

I’ll be your host and you’ll be my audio guest and you’ll never want to leave. PZO: Is there anything you’d like to say to your fans, new and old?

I thank you for your support and your amazing tweets on twitter. I try to answer every single person that tweets me, so if you have any questions for me feel free to on twitter or facebook. I just want to say you are my inspiration and dreams come true and that life is a cocktail. Thank you so much. |
