LAYLA ANNA-LEE with ANDREA FAITHFUL
Andrea Faithful is many things all at once. She is a sometime stylist who has travelled the world for the likes of Vogue magazine, a former dancer who has pepped up the raunchy routines of, amongst others, Britney Spears and Pink, a former wildchild and, right now, the most exciting new Artist of the year. You need only hear her debut single Rock The Flex once to have it burned indelibly into your brain. The former Ziggy Stardust is about to become her next biggest fan, a title he will share with at least one member of Red Hot Chili Peppers, and several heads of several major record labels. She is a future style icon, and knows precisely how good she looks in vintage, in kitsch, in all things outlandish. "I've got an awful lot of energy," she says, "and if you're asking me my ambition, well, becoming the biggest pop star in the worldll do for starters." Here's something else that will do for starters: Tomfoolery is the name of 2009's most feral slice of avant-garde electro-pop, a future club classic album that should have little problem in crossing over, dominating the charts and putting her name where it so clearly belongs: up in lights.
