The author of the hits Lost on you and Another People, the LP singer (in her life - Laura Pergolizzi), after a concert in the club in June and a recent performance in the show "X-factor" (STB), comes to Ukraine again. This time with a big concert at the Sports Palace…

I go to the dressing room of the singer. Laura is dressed in black tight trousers, a silver jacket and a shirt over her naked body, from under which tattoos are visible.

I like your hat ("I like your hat"), - says LP.

I answer that this is a Ukrainian designer, to which the singer raises her thumbs up, and her manager makes some kind of note in a notebook.

LP is very friendly, during the interview she sits relaxed in her chair and laughs a lot.

"The show in Kyiv was one of the best"

- Laura, for the last six months you are going to Kyiv for the third time. How do you like our audience?

I really like the Ukrainian audience. I have received only positive feedback from her. The show I came with in June was fantastic, it was one of my best performances.

- What did you like in Kyiv? Have you tried national cuisine - borscht, dumplings?

I had some time to walk around Kyiv and eat in your restaurants. However, I don't eat meat, and there are a lot of meat restaurants in Kyiv, so that complicates things a bit. But I love fish, and I dined at one of your fish establishments. I also noticed that you guys are very fond of quinoa.

- You have a dog named Orson. Do you take it with you on tour?

I tried several times to take him on tour with me, but my fiancee misses him very much (36-year-old Laura is a gay girl. - Ed.). So I can't take Orson away from her, but I miss him so much. I would like them both to be always with me.

"When I wrote Lost on you, I felt strange"

- Tell us about the technical process of writing songs. For example, your hit Lost of you - did you come up with the music or the lyrics first?

It happens in different ways. When I have an idea, I take notes on my phone. I record fragments of melodies, chords, texts, some variants of names. Here Lost on you just appeared from such notes. When I wrote this song, I was a little uneasy, I felt strange (LP dedicated Lost on you to my ex-girlfriend. - Auth.).

Most of the time I write the music first and then the lyrics, but at the same time I love it when I have the title of the song. I consider it very important, key, it should be catchy.

The songwriting process depends on what mood I'm in. Sometimes I can come to people who help me with writing and show them the material, and together we will finalize it. This is an interesting process, fascinating. It can take a day or several weeks.

- I know that when the manager of the previous label you worked with heard the song Lost on you, he didn't want to record it. Did you communicate with this person after your success?

Not only did he refuse me to record a song, he fired me. Yes, now he is aware of my progress. But the thing is, people in the music business are very careful. And the company looked at how much money I bring to it, and based on these reflections, they decided to fire me. This is a business and I understand that.

You shouldn't be upset because someone didn't take your song or someone doesn't share your musical tastes. It doesn't matter if it's a man or a woman. Often in my life, men who were not physically interested in me brought me a lot of money.

After the success of the song Lost on you, I told the story of being fired from the label many times. I really want people to know that one person's treasure can be another's trash. I quit that day and told myself to move on. It is very important for an artist to understand this and continue to compose songs, sing, develop. Being fired from a label is not a tragedy.

"Europeans are more open to new things than Americans"

- In Europe, you are more popular than in your homeland, in the USA. Does it bother you? Will you continue to win the American audience?

My career really started in the States. But I've always wanted to create new music anywhere, and I'm glad it's in demand right now here in Europe.

There is one thing that I learned a few years ago, and maybe even earlier: you should never force a stage and take it on an onslaught. If you do this, then there is a high probability of losing the potential that could come in handy if you just continue to work hard, mind your own business and move on. What has to happen will happen. This is what happened with Lost on you. I never thought this was the song that would make me popular. It just happened and I was like, "Wow! Seriously? Was it a hit?!"

You never know in which country people will like your music and where you will become a star. But when you build a 12,000 arena four nights in a row, it doesn't really matter what city it's in. You should be grateful for any success in any country.

One way or another, in the States I will continue to perform and promote my songs. So I'm fine (laughs).

- Is the European audience somehow different from the American one?

Yes, there are some differences. I think the American audience is less open to new names. I can't know for sure, but I feel that European audiences have more eclectic tastes. It seemed to me that people in Europe listen to more diverse music than Americans. Europeans are more open to everything new.

By the way

About a possible move from the USA

- In connection with your wild popularity in Europe, did you think about moving here?

Yes, I have such thoughts. I want to buy a house somewhere in Europe, maybe in Greece or Paris. I say Paris because I don't know other French cities (laughs). I have thoughts about moving here, but first I need to at least just buy a house so that there is a place where I can stay. I'll probably look into it in the coming years.

Those who at least once bothered to get acquainted with the work of the magical singer LP were irrevocably in love with her amazing charisma, emancipation and bewitching playing on the now popular ukulele instrument. Her real fans have already stopped wondering if LP is a woman or a man, because, in fact, the talent is obvious, and this is the main thing!

Biography

To begin with, it is worth noting that the pseudonym LP stands for Laura Pergolizzi (Laura Pergolizzi). Perhaps this fact should definitely answer the question of whether the lead singer of the LP group is a man or a woman. But not everything is so simple, because in society they are used to focusing on external data, sometimes it is so easy to make a mistake in the gender of someone, especially celebrities.

Childhood and youth

Laura was born in 1981 in Long Island. In 1996, an energetic girl graduated from high school and moved to live in New York to become a star. Being the daughter of an opera singer, she knew how to break into this business, and created a bright pseudonym for herself. Woman or man, LP made her way to fame without fear of any prejudice from society, and it was her openness to this world that allowed her to build her staircase to heaven.

Career

The beginning of her creative way was marked by participation as a soloist in such groups as Lionfish and The Plan. For some time she was a guest vocalist in the band Cracker. 2001 was the year of the release of her debut solo album titled Heart-Shaped Scar ("Heart-Shaped Scar"). Her record instantly soared up the charts, and the composition Kiss It All Goodbye ("Farewell Kiss") was used in the drama "The Safety of Things."

In 2004, remaining a mystery to the press, (man or woman?) LP presented a second album called Suburban Sprawl & Alcohol (“Province and Alcohol”). Numerous rumors circulated around the recording of the presented album, because the song Darkside (“Dark Side”) was the result of a collaboration between LP and Linda Perry, songwriter and singer. Irritated journalists all tried to find out who sings - a man or a woman? LP was not very open about her personal life, but the fact that she was a lesbian did not give anyone peace. Assumptions immediately poured in that Laura was also “for girls”. However, the star decided to leave a certain touch of mystery in her image. Preferring not to specify who she likes and whether she is male or female, LP has never made any official comment on the matter.

Development

The beginning of the 2000s and the beginning of the 10s were devoted to participating in various shows, competitions and events, touring around different cities. 2014 was marked by the release of the long-awaited third album of the singer called Forever for Now (“Endless Now”). Laura pleased her fans with the record Death Valley (“Valley of Death”).

LP, Lost .. … - who sings - a man or a woman?

Despite the fact that Laura achieved popularity in America back in 2012, Europe became acquainted with her work only after the release of the song Lost on you, it was this song that resonated with many people from Russia. Everything in this wonderful person attracts - breathtaking curls, androgynous appearance and style full of aesthetics. Here, rather, it became a plus that it was not clear who sings, a man or a woman.

The LP, Lost on you, won the hearts of many pop-rock music lovers with this track. Thanks to such performers, people begin to appreciate purely human qualities and talent, not paying attention to his / her gender.

As it became known recently thanks to frank clips, Laura is really a girl, she only gravitates towards the female sex. Her relationship with her parents was somewhat strained, which is why she never admitted to her mother that she was a lesbian. Her mother died, and her father, who considered her inclinations only a teenage whim, resigned himself to this fact. However, as Laura says, her parents never criticized her and positively perceived all her decisions.

Laura won over a million people not only with her records, but also with acoustic versions, which she presented in hotels, clubs, etc.

Notably, LP's career began by writing songs for famous artists. So, on her account there are songs for Christina Aguilera and Riana.

Beautiful People (" Beautiful people"") - this song was co-written with Nicole Scherzinger for Christina Aguilera in her country house in the mountains. Laura also wrote that she seemed so surreal and “damn cool” while the two of them basked in the chambers of a warm apartment and composed, composed ...

Bright image

Speaking about her style, Laura emphasizes that she does not resort to the help of experienced stylists, she simply acts on a whim, everything is natural and at ease.

Nevertheless, she has honed her style throughout her career, and so far the singer strives to achieve maximum reflection. internal state through appearance.

Black sunglasses are an indispensable attribute in the image of LP, so she, according to her, not only imitates but also tries to protect herself from this reality, as she is still afraid of the vast world that is ready to overthrow her from the pedestal of fame at any moment. One can only hope that she will be able to overcome this phobia and look broadly and boldly into the eyes of passers-by and enjoy every day.

She is always ready to joke about her atypical appearance, she is not offended by jokes and gossip about her orientation, which pour on her from people bound by stereotypes.

As she answered in her interview, Laura is quite happy with her image at the moment. Every time she goes on stage, she feels at ease in it. Well-being touched all areas of her life, and one can only be glad that the personal life and career of the singer are only getting better.

Not so long ago, the star that ascended to the world Olympus has already managed to win the hearts of millions of idols. Her name is Laura Pergolizzi or LP. Her biography is as unusual and interesting as the image of the singer herself. The 37-year-old performer passed long haul until it became popular and recognizable in many countries. For some, her image may seem very strange and extraordinary. However, in real life her personality is far from standard.

The childhood and youth of the singer

The future star was born on March 18, 1981 in Long Island. Her parents are immigrants from a small Italian town. The mother is Neapolitan by origin, and the father is half Sicilian, half Irish. From her parents, the girl inherited her unusual appearance and curly hair. She got an unusual voice from her mother: she was an opera singer. And she inherited a strong and very quick-tempered character, inflexibility in her views from her father.

From the early childhood the LP singer had a very powerful and strong voice. With her crying and screaming, she could drown out the sound of the included vacuum cleaner and even (!) Lawn mowers. She also started singing early. According to her, even before she learned to speak. Her tunes were extremely pleasing to the parents, who were proud of their little daughter, however, they caused considerable discomfort to the neighbors, since Laura did not like to sing softly.

Her Favorites musical instruments- these are classical and ukulele guitars, the game of which she mastered as a child. Since then, a lot of time has passed. Nevertheless, the singer Laura still almost never parted with them and, every now and then, composes new and new melodies.

The fact that she would become a singer, the girl firmly decided since early years. By the way, the stage name LP also comes from her childhood: so Laura was nicknamed by friends from the summer camp. It is easy to guess that this is an abbreviation of her name and surname.

After leaving school in 1996, the young talent goes to New York, believing that this city is the best place to develop their singing talents and self-realization. However, a huge city with a population of many millions did not welcome the novice performer too cordially.

Music career LP

However, in spite of everything, she quickly managed to establish relations with the popular group The Plan, with whom she subsequently gave tour concerts and recorded several singles together. The persistent and ambitious girl did not stop there: she began working with other famous bands, while writing songs for her first solo album, which was released in 2001.

The fact that the released album did not bring the expected popularity did not make the singer give up. He was actively bought by listeners, which greatly encouraged the girl. In this regard, she decided to release another album with Linda Perry in 2004. After this event, the attention of journalists was riveted to Laura. However, such close attention was associated not so much with the work of the singer, how much with her gay.

Nevertheless, LP soon decided to take another step: she began to write music for already well-known performers such as Riana, Cher, Christina Aguilera, Rita Ora, Joe Walsh, Backstreet Boys, The Veronicas and other equally popular singers. This could not but affect Laura's career. Her musical style is becoming very popular and recognizable, she began performing at group concerts, participating in music shows and various festivals (Laura Vass, biography in Russian).

In 2006, representatives of several recording studios vied with each other to offer her to sign a contract with them. In 2011, she already gave solo concerts, and the composition from her first album took the top lines of the charts. Finally, the singer Laura (that's how her name sounds in the American style) made her childhood dream come true and felt like a real star.

As you know, artists are outstanding personalities, with great charisma and strong energy. However, it can be said about many of them that they are “not of this world”, they are not like everyone else. And Laura is no exception. Some facts from Laura's biography will not leave indifferent connoisseurs of her work:

Laura Pergolizzi's childhood dream came true: she became a celebrity, which characterizes her as a strong-willed and purposeful person.

Personal life of a star

It's no secret that Laura Pergolizzi is gay. Her personal life has always been of interest to fans and the press. The girl decided to openly declare her inclinations only after the death of her mother, who died quite early. Her father considered her youthful hobbies nothing more than a rebellion against social norms. However, having made sure that Laura's love for the female sex is not just a momentary whim, but a natural feature of the girl, he resigned himself to this fact, taking it for granted.

Not too fond of talking about her orientation and Laura herself. However, Laura's personal life cannot be hidden from camera lenses for too long, since she is a fairly well-known person.

For the first time, her close relationship with the fairer sex became known in 2012. Her chosen one was the British actress Tamzin Brown, known at that time only in her homeland. Subsequently, LP will conclude that the girl in such an unusual way wanted to become famous outside her country. The singer and actress appeared together at all social events, parties and award ceremonies, which could not help but draw attention to the personality of the latter. Tamzin insisted on the public manifestation of her feelings for her partner and even offered to formalize the relationship, but LP managed to unravel the girl's insidious plan in time and convict her of insincerity.

The couple broke up in 2015. Soon after, the singer's single "Lost on You" was released, in which she sings of her feelings and past love. This song is the cry of Laura's soul, thanks to which she deserved such wide popularity among listeners. She sincerely hopes that the ex-lover time will leave at least some trace and pleasant memories in Brown's heart.

However, LP did not have to long for the former love: six months later she meets a girl named Lauren Ruth Ward, who took the place of Tamzin and starred in the already mentioned video for the song “Lost on You”, where she appears at the very end.

The newly-made passion turned out to be no less eccentric personality, and soon the couple got married in France. A photo appeared on Instagram where lovers hug and kiss against the backdrop of the Eiffel Tower and the Champs Elysees.

Singer's discography

Laura has four studio albums, which were released under the labels Koch Records, Lightswitch Records, Warner Bros. Records and Vagrant Records. The following names are known among them:

• Heart Shaped Scar released in 2001.

Some of these hits, including the notorious "Lost on You", conquered the first lines of the charts in many countries around the world.

By his example, LP once again confirms that it is necessary to believe in your dream and go towards it at all costs, overcoming all the obstacles and obstacles in your path. Despite the fact that the girl was born in a simple family, this did not prevent her from achieving success and recognition. Undoubtedly, many more achievements, awards and praise from grateful viewers await her ahead.

Attention, only TODAY!

Laura Pergolizzi is an American singer of Italian origin. She is like one continuous collection of uniqueness: from a non-standard appearance with the same curls, sunglasses and an earring in the form of a cross, and ending with an unusual performance of songs with heartfelt lyrics, powerful vocals, artistic whistling and ukulele accompaniment.

Surely there will be those who will not fail to reproach me that an article about Laura Pergolizzi is not the most appropriate topic for a site about rock music. After all, she does not fit into the generally accepted definition of a “rock personality” at all, since, according to Wikipedia’s genre definition, LP (Laura Pergolizzi for short) is pop, pop rock and indie pop (a more melodic and less abrasive subgenre than indie rock). And some even more so consider her work to be frank pop music.

But here I dare to argue. All these genre definitions are not so important when there is an emotional and semantic component: in spirit, LP is a singer worthy of being considered a real rocker.

Why? Yes, because such emotions, which LP music is saturated with, cannot be carried by mass-produced pop music! And I think you will agree that rock is not only about the sound, but equally about the emotions that are conveyed through the lyrics and the voice of the performer.

In addition, she started the LP as a real rock-n-roller - 250 concerts a year, endless trips with the band around small towns in a shabby van and overnight stays in cheap hotels (often all together in one room).

It was later that the producers tried to squeeze her songs into format frames in order to reach as many listeners as possible. Fortunately, they did not do it very well, and today we have what we have - LP in its sincere image with that soulful creativity, from which many have already managed to become quite fanatic.

The beginning of the path LP

Laura Pergolizzi, or rather her extraordinary appearance, at first sight often confusing - it's not always clear whether it's a man or a woman before your eyes. LP owes such a bright appearance to her parents: her mother is a Neapolitan and her father is half Sicilian, half Irish.

But it is worth hearing her powerful deep songs, as it immediately becomes clear: Laura Pergolizzi - woman from cropped boyfriend jeans to the last curl (we'll talk about orientation separately), although with a fair amount of tomboyishness.

The biography of Laura Pergolizzi originates in Huntington, New York, where she was born in the spring of 1981.

The next 15 years of her life are rather poorly covered in the media - LP practically does not talk about this period in numerous interviews. Did she somehow mention that as a child, I was terribly shy of my voice and preferred to sing with the lawn mower or vacuum cleaner turned on so that no one could hear her.

And only in 1996, events begin to occur that radically change the life of the future singer.

After graduating from high school, Laura Pergolizzi moves to the capital of her native state. This is also where the LP biography column as a singer-songwriter begins: she collects his group called Lionfish, with which he begins to give concerts performing his own repertoire.

At the same time, Laura Pergolizzi first began to use a creative pseudonym - LP, although this nickname was assigned to her back in the school summer camp.

First successes or popularity is still very far away

In 1998 she was spotted by David Lowery of Cracker. He was so shocked by Laura's voice that he invited her to participate in the recording of his album. musical group. Subsequently, he also became the producer of the debut LP "Heart-Shaped Scar" (2001).

The further biography of Laura Pergolizzi was marked by the release of another album - in 2004, “Suburban Sprawl & Alcohol” was released (I recommend listening to supporters of the opinion that LP is pop), which was the result of collaboration with Linda Perry from the group 4 Non Blondes.

About the same time Laura Pergolizzi received a cross earring from Madonna as a gift from a friend while filming one of her videos. Since then, Laura Pergolizzi has not parted with her for a day. At the same time, she claims that This cross has no religious significance.- just a favorite earring.

The first albums of Laura Pergolizzi did not bring her fame, despite a fairly warm reception from music critics and a major tour in support of Suburban Sprawl & Alcohol. There was still a long way to go.

Period of grounding in the music scene

2010 was the beginning of a new era in the biography of LP - she moves to Los Angeles. It is in this city that active musical activity Laura Pergolizzi.

In November, she co-wrote the song "Cheers (Drink to That)" with Rihanna. Later collaborates with Christina Aguilera, Backstreet Boys, The Veronicas and Cher.

But LP has always perceived cooperation with pop stars as an additional option to its work. The best songs, with deep personal overtones, she always kept for herself.

In 2012 creative biography LP is marked by a breakthrough: music lovers finally appreciated released as a single track "Into the Wild", which would later be included in her 3rd album.

Laura Pergolizzi began to use artistic whistling in songs after this song. In the studio, preparing to perform "Into the Wild", LP whistled the tune out of habit. The producer and director liked the sound so much that they decided to record it. Since then almost no performance by Laura Pergolizzi is complete without a whistle.

In 2014, the full-length LP "Forever for Now" was released. Its release was preceded by two singles - "Night Like This" (March 2014) and "Someday" (June 2014).

Album "Forever for Now" was praised by music critics. So, on the official Wikipedia page of the LP, it is said that Stephen Thomas Irlewine awarded the record 5 stars in his review. And the American magazine "American Songwriter's" noted that LP songs can take a leading place in the prime time of any radio station.

Finally deserved fame around the world

This period in the biography of the LP began with the release of the fourth album "Lost On You" in 2016.

The first single "Muddy Waters" from the then-unrecorded LP "Lost On You" was released in September 2015, and in the summer of the following year it sounded in the finale of one of the episodes of the popular TV series "Orange Is the New Black" - in original) .

But the key track of the album was the song that gave it its name Laura Pergolizzi "Lost On You". She performed it for the first time at the Coca Cola Summer Festival 2016 in Rome. As a result, this composition reached the top of the charts of most European radio stations in record time.

And it's not surprising, because "Lost On You"– the track is deeply frank and talks about the personal life of Laura Pergolizzi. In it, she literally portrayed her own love tragedy.

Laura Pergolizzi's song "Lost On You" is dedicated to close friend performers - Tamzin Brown (Tamzin Brown), relations with which ended in failure. This fact takes on a special meaning when you know that Laura Pergolizzi is a lesbian. However, LP does not hide this fact.

She claims that parents have always been loyal to any "eccentricities" of their daughter. True, Laura fully realized her sexual orientation and told everyone about it only after the death of her mother. The father only recently took it seriously, because he always preferred to consider this confession of his daughter as just a teenage hobby.

Verbatim Translation of «Lost On You» sounds like "Wasted on You" or "Lost in You". True, in this form, this phrase, taken out of context, does not carry the semantic load that is inherent in it.

But if we turn to the lyrics of the song, it becomes clearer what meaning Laura Pergolizzi put into this phrase. The key vector of the song is a question addressed to Laura's ex-girlfriend (she is played by model Laura Hanson Sims in the video). ) : “… all these things that I spent on you [time? nerves? feelings?], tell me - was it all in vain?

It turns out that the meaning of "Lost On You" is not in the banal experiences of lost love, but in an attempt to realize whether this relationship left at least some trace in the soul of the former passion of LP. In addition, according to the last frames of the clip, in which Laura kisses her new girl– Lauren Ruth Ward, it becomes clear that for her life goes on, despite the still fresh image of a former lover in her memory.

By the way, in December 2016, Lauren (she also sings well) published a video for her song "Make Love To Myself", which also plays on an emotional lesbian story, and an LP appears in the finale, which is quite symbolic.

But Laura Pergolizzi is not far behind her new lover - at the beginning of 2017, she again pleased her fans with “tasty” new products, all with the same touch of her intimate feelings. On January 26, the premiere of two clips took place at once - for the tracks of the LP "Other People" (prehistory of the clip "Lost On You") and « Tightrope", starring Lauren Ruth Ward (appearing in each other's videos seems to be becoming a good tradition for them).

And in the middle of summer a video was released « When we're high", in which the already familiar lesbian theme simply abounds. All videos are thematically linked - each of them, like chapters in a novel, reveals new details of the plot of LP's personal life.

By the way, this summer (in July) Laura and Lauren got engaged in Paris, where they ended up as part of the triumphant LP tour of Europe. According to them, very soon they will officially become wife and wife 🙂

Summing up, I dare say that in the near future, the work of Laura Pergolizzi, in terms of the level of contribution to the development of modern music, will begin to be put on a par with Bob Dylan, Roy Orbison (one of the LP idols) and other great musicians / performers who are revered by fans from around the world.
