The Top Ten Q & A: Agnes


By: Joshua Miller

Agnes is not your typical “New Artist.” Actually, she’s not really that new — certainly not if “new” means a lack of experience. She is new in the sense that she has recently been discovered by American audiences, and luckily for us gays, she is performing at the White Party Palm Springs T Dance on Sunday, April 11th! With apt comparisons to Leona Lewis, Jennifer Lopez and Kylie Minogue, Agnes’ first US single, “Release Me,” is taking the U.S. by storm. With the single a certified club sensation ‘Release Me’ is pure pop perfection! There’s a new pop star in town.

America, meet Agnes.

1) “Release Me” plays constantly on my iPhone, I am obsessed! How does it feel to find success in the U.S.? It feels wonderful, not only in the US but all over Europe. I am extremely happy and excited at the same time :)

2) What are you currently listening to in your iPod/ mp3 player? Taio Cruz "Break Your heart” It is my fav song. Also Black Eyed Peas and Whitney Houston.

3) What was the last song that you listened to that you honestly enjoyed? Anna Bergendahl "This is my life" She is a young girl from Sweden - so sweet and wonderful.

4) Is there one song that you have heard that you connected with on such a level that you wish you had written it? "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston. Crazy good.

5) What inspired you to be a singer? I have always known..

6) If you had to pick ONE artist to sing with dead or alive who would it be? Mary J Blige. I love her charisma. To be on the same stage with Mary would be a dream come true.

7) How does it feel to follow in the White Party footsteps of Jennifer Lopez, Toni Braxton and Lady Gaga? I am so excited. Just to be there and be a part of the White Party weekend is absolutely amazing.

8) Who has been your favorite White Party Performer to date? Why? Lady Gaga...of course.

9) What can we expect from you on the White Party T-Dance stage? It is going to be one big party! I will have dancers on stage with me.

10) Describe an “Agnes” experience in 5 words. Hmmm, you will have to come to the White Party and see for yourself :)
