Remi Wolf’s path into music took a big step when she was a teenager: They marked her as a rising artist last year. Juno is going to be an album that will scoop so many positive reviews!īefore coming to this year, I am keen to include The Line of Best Fit. She is such a remarkable artist who has put out incredible music that will stand the test of time. I have been reading a lot of interviews Remi Wolf has been involved in. ![]() They’re just completely out on their own wave, completely independent and completely autonomous”. “I think all of them don’t listen to anybody, and don’t listen to what the market is trying to tell them to make. Her song ‘Paper Planes’, when it came out, it was surrounded by a bunch of like soft-rock pop stuff, which I also liked, but she stood out so much in the sea that it had a huge impact on me.”įrom the effortless personality of Prince and the impeccable musicianship of John Mayer, to Erykah Badu who “just changed something in my brain where I was like, woah!”, there’s a traceable line between those artists Remi first grew towards and where she stands today. “She had a huge influence on me just in terms of sounds and what pop music can be. “The one artist that just really clicked with me from a super young age was MIA,” recalls Remi. Conforming to the norm? The idea of that couldn’t be further from her mind. There were parties and backyard barbecue performances showmanship going hand in hand with determination while soaking in the sounds of pop trailblazers. A lot of me performing for my parents all the time, bossing my little brother around which is actually pretty embarrassing.” “There are just so many homemade videos of me performing magic shows or fashion shows or dance shows from when I was 8 or 9 upwards. “Performing was the first thing that I really fell in love with,” explains Remi. Remi Wolf is not about waiting around for people to shuffle in at the back, it’s about getting down the front and throwing yourself into that skittle-biting party spirit. Latest EP ‘I’m Allergic To Dogs’ breathes with confidence and fun, an amalgamation of hip-hop, electronica and pop only possible in a world of flicking playlists. I’m kinda striving for big sounds, unique sounds, unique flow, unique lyrics just… to be different!”įor anyone who’s glimpsed at Remi’s world, that should be clear. “I want my music to sound completely different to what everyone else is doing. Whipsmart quips and instant doses of pop are the order of the day – exactly how a modern pop star should be. A performer from the very start (“My parents say that I figured out I loved performing when I was 2”), her kaleidoscope world of huge pop energy, fizzing colours and sugar-packed punches rallies against grey skies. It perfectly captures Remi Wolf and her near-fearless approach to music. I just thought, oh I can do this… this is the moment!” “I was 15 and me and my friend, we knew a bunch of songs that we’d been learning and writing together, and one day we were like, ‘why don’t we street perform near this art festival?’ We parked on a corner, just to see if anyone gave a shit about us and we ended up making like $180 in two hours. Remi Wolf laughs at the thought, “I actually know the exact moment, the exact day where that happened! That there can be more than just messing around in a bedroom and smiling between mates. “ There comes a moment in many a musician’s life when everything clicks, where the idea of going out and taking on the world feels suddenly very possible. DORK were eager to spotlight the Californian artist: I am going to bring in a couple of features/interviews from this year soon. Such a bright and hot young talent, it is fascinating seeing the first steps from a great songwriter. I love the sounds she puts together and, unlike some artists, her songs really stay in the head. She is creating music that is so catchy and fresh! It pops and sparks. I hope that people pre-order her debut album, Juno. ![]()
