When you think of Essex, two for ones, beer guts, Southend and Jodie Harsh. Need I say anymore but Colchester born and bred Polly has redefined the classic stereotype, taken the prada out of pop and spiced it up with great authenticity. Influenced by Joni Mitchell, Portishead, Gregory Crewdson, Bonnie, Prince Billy, David Lynch, Tim Burton to Mylo along with Blip's and whirrs, textures, words, Electronic and Raw Acoustic moments, Polly is one of the best things to come out of 2009.
Her unusual quirkiness will zap Lily Allen or Katie Perry back into training for Kindergarten Cop. Her imminent arrival has replenished the singer/songwriter world giving fresh hope to rising stars proclaiming the desire to succeed without hanging out in fancy bars to shag z list footballers and make bubblegum hits "I think my record is so far away from that scene (is there a bubblegum pop scene!?) it couldn't save it, even if it wanted to!
Polly has allowed the unusual and unbalanced to be explored and respected. Not afraid to be expressive and far from a trendsetter this 21 year wants to express her thoughts without the glear of press intrusion or being stamped on celeb infested mags. "I have no interest in fame or celebrity culture, the thing I live for is writing, I just hope enough people buy the record to warrant me making another one,one day!
Beyond the music Polly believes Girlpower has become a coined tag which made its point to heal conceited wounds, "Girl Power is one of those words I things I heard people saying lots in the 90's and never really knew what it represented, as the context it was used in was often quite blurred,I am not a feminist, I don't believe women are better than men,I believe we are all equal in this world and as powerful or as weak as we choose to be in that moment."
Her debut album should not to be placed or compared - its a true dressing of excellence which is set to go a long away. "I don't know what my songs are based on,some are based on experience,some are based on watching other peoples experience,some are based on fantasy,but all of them are real,some more than others. Every song I write means some thing to me, I don't think I could write a song if it didn't have a piece of me in it. But as for godly view, I don't have any of that, although I heard you can get it by drinking copious amounts of vodka red bull and put on some reading glasses backwards.
What do we expect to get when we enter Polly's World? "Just come with open eyes and broken happy hearts, No one has to do anything, there are no rules in "polly world". As for chill time Polly likes to rummage through a box of smarties, mainly the red ones to recharge the bars for more creative genius.
