Kind of… In an earlier santi post we wondered out loud why LES/Brooklyn hipster poster girl would work with Ashlee Simpson. All do respect to both parties but how the f**k did that happen? In an interview with Popjustice.com Santi kinda explains herself and surprise surprise, her reasons are the same as mine for dating a woman in college that managed a Godiva Chocolatier… Chocolate and money.
From Popjustice:
How did Ashlee Simpson get so many amazing people working on her new album?
Come on. It’s just money. I go into the studio, everything you order comes on a silver platter – and I’m not kidding. They bring you chocolate chip cookies on a silver platter. A REAL silver platter. On the business side of things and from an experience side of things, you’re not going to turn down situations like that. It’s a formula, for all that type of music you hire the same producers and you get a certain level of quality because you pay for it. But it’s a different thing entirely – it’s not the same as artistic music. That’s not the sort of pop music I talk about. It’s a different world and it’s for different people and for me the experience of doing that is very important.
