i think late teens i definitely got more into PJ Harvey. Honestly at first a lot of the stuff my dad was trying to show me, i kinda rejected it obviously, when you are a kid you are like "i have my own thing like don't tell me what to listen to". After a while i was like " oh shit", after i've found her on my own again i thing i was " oh shit, this is so cool!" like, the lyrics, the attitude, the videos, everything. I think i like her the most because she has an amazing balance of feminine and masculine which i tried to do. 'cause i think is cool to go through both. 'cause some songs feel more feminine and i think it can be fine if you twist it and bring a different kind of presence in it, so...(interrupted)
it's interesting to hear a millennial's ( is that the right word?) or a really young artist's opinion on PJ.
