Lara gave an interview for the various fan sites, responding to their questions. The interview was in English, and is copied below:
------------------------------------------------------
“Camouflage” is your third original studio album in English. Your last album in English was “Every Woman in Me”, consisting of covers .
Can you tell us why you have decided to release now an English album?
LF: As you said, my discography already includes albums in English. Beyond that, I have started to sing in English very early in my career. Even before becoming known, I was singing in live venues a repertoire in French and in English. Singing in English has always been part of my artistic identity. And in many countries, for example Brazil or the USA , I am rather known for my songs in English, such as “I will Love Again”, “Broken Vow” or “Adagio” then for my songs in French. The true question is actually not why I‘ve decided to release an album in English, but why I’ve waited so long to do it again. And to that question, I can simply answer that I felt it was the right time and moment now. Partly due to the encounters and changes in my professional entourage. But also, because, as a multi-lingual artist, I felt that the music I wanted to present was requiring the musicality of the English language as vehicle. As my previous album’s language was naturally in French, the songs of Camouflage were written naturally in English. And lastly, Camouflage is the result of an artistic collaboration with Moh Denebi and Sharon Vaughn, who work in English.
Can you tell us the story of the creation of this album?
LF: Camouflage is the result of an encounter with these two amazing talents. The music producer and composer Moh Denebi, from Sweden, and the lyricist Sharon Vaughn, from the USA. My Manager, Matt Ersin, introduced me to Moh in Stockholm. We went to his studio, we sat down, and Moh played some of his work. We “clicked” immediately. I understood after a few minutes, what an incredible talent I was facing. We decided on the spot, to work together. Then I got introduced to Sharon, who is a legend in the USA. Sharon and I felt directly as if we had known each other for many years. The composing and writing process was so organic and smooth, in a way that I have never experienced before; Sometimes, Moh would start playing a few notes, and I would follow with a melody, On other songs, Sharon or I would propose a theme, a phrase, and we would complete each other’s sentences, while Moh would start playing something in the background.. And we would record a demo on the spot.
I can say that “Camouflage” is my favorite album ever.
There were some articles in the press indicating that you worked with “the team of the Eurovision Winner Måns Zelmerlow; is that correct?
LF: Moh Denebi, as a Swedish music producer, has worked with many artists, both Swedish and international. He is an award winning composer and music producer. He also has worked, I believe after we finished “Camouflage, with Måns. But we can’t call Moh as being “someone”s team, he is one of the most successful and prominent figures of modern Swedish pop music. If at all, I believe Måns, me and many others are in “Moh’s team”. And Sharon Vaughn is a legend in the USA. She has recently been inducted to the “Hall of Fame” of Country Music in Nashville That is one of the highest honor you can receive in the music industry in the USA, and in Sharon’s case, well deserved. She is a fantastic woman.
Which is your favorite song on this album, and in which sequence have the songs been written?
LF: The first song that we’ve composed and written was “Chameleon”. I believe it reflects the fun we had, and the joy in having met each other and starting to create something together. We felt immediately that this was “right”. And if I remember correctly, “Choose what you love most” was the last one we’ve written. And somewhere in the middle, came my favorite song on this album “Camouflage”.
Why the title “Camouflage”?
LF: It is maybe not the most commercial song on the album. It has a more “cinematographic feel”, thanks also to the magnificent string arrangements by Henrik Janson and Ulf Janson , who worked on several titles on the album.
For a while, we were referring to the album project as “Chameleon”, as it was the first title we wrote, and one of our favorites. But once “Camouflage” emerged, I felt that this was the right title for this album. The song is questioning our need to “blend in”, our efforts, sometimes painfully, to erase the differences that separate us from others, sometimes by giving up our own colors in favor of the colors of our surroundings. It is as much about hiding as a protection in difficult times, as about our desire to be connected with others, by “blending in”. It is about putting on a smile on our face, hiding the pain, to not hurt our loved ones. Smiling, even when inside of us, we have a storm going on. And musically, I think it is one of the most beautiful songs I have ever released.
Your last album, “Ma vie dans la tienne” was about your personal life, your family and close entourage. Can you tell us about the inspiration behind this new album?
LF: As an artist, we are inspired by everything. By people we meet, encounters with people who are hidden heroes of our times, but also short encounters with simple, beautiful people; We are inspired by the events in our lives, and the lives of people we are close to. And also by the events our societies go through. These are indeed difficult and scary times. Especially, for my generation, living in the Western and relatively prosperous part of the planet, this is new. However, we have to remind ourselves that, humanity has seen worse, we have seen the Holocaust, world wars, natural disasters, famine in many countries. We have to take the challenges of our times seriously, and try to promote and be the change we wish to see in society. And in the same time, we have the resilience and strength in us to overcome these challenges. We go on with our lives, our love stories, our successes and injuries, doing the best we can. Therefore, “Camouflage” is about all of these colors in our lives; It is about the challenges in life, about our fears and hopes, about gratitude for what we have, about loving, living, doing our best. I believe the 12 songs reflect musically the diversity of emotions we probably all go through in our lives in these strange times.. It is an album full of colors, and that explains also my choice for the artwork of the album.
The sound of the album is very much electro-pop. Is this a big change for you?
LF: Actually, not really. It is a pop album, that reflects the modern sounds of our time. Music is not static. There is a reason why, when we hear a song from the, 60s, 70s, 80s or 90s, we can most of the time identify the decade when the song was released. When my first English album was released, titles like “I will love again” reflected very much the sound of that period, they were very modern and pop too. And a new album in 2017, reflects the sounds of our times. I live very much in the present , in the “now and here”, and my music reflects that.
Can you tell us something about the music video of “Growing Wings”?
LF: We have so far produced two music videos, for the first two singles, “Growing Wings” and “Choose what you love most”. We shot both music videos in Iceland; What an amazing country ! ; No wonder that so many TV shows and movies are shot in Iceland. The landscapes and nature are breathtaking. It was quite an experience to shoot in Iceland, as the weather conditions were not always easy. Although we shot in July, at times, it was freezing cold. The distances to reach the shooting locations were also long. We would spend 5 hours driving to a location to shoot, then return all the way back to the hotel, as accommodation is sparse and not always available for a large production crew in every corner of the country. But it was an amazing experience. We also shot other visuals, which we will be using during the show. Some of the moments were really a unique experience, and dangerous too.. I can’t tell more for the moment about it, I don’t want to spoil it… You will understand what I ‘m talking about when you will see the show.
We hear about various musical and video material which were produced in the past, but which you have never released. Is there any chance that some of these would be released in the future?
LF: When we create, we do sometimes demos, and record music, that , for various reasons, end up not being released. Sometimes it is because they don’t “feel right”, sometimes it is for administrative or legal reasons involving record labels, publishers and others. As an artist, we do not “own” all musical projects we have been part of or have contributed to. I am also asked sometimes why a particular song, music video, or album is not available in a specific country or on a digital platform. These are not decisions we can make alone as artists, as the subject concerns mostly labels and distributors. Regarding past projects that have not been released; there are reasons why they have not been released. And there is no reason to dig into the past and present old material which does not reflect my music , who I have become as an artist and woman today, or the sound of the times we live in . As I have said, I live very much in the present, and prefer create new music, today.
You will be soon touring across the world; can you tell us about the show, what can we expect from the "Camouflage World Tour"?
LF: We are currently working on it. It will be definitely a pop concert, a fun show. We will have more people in the team and on stage, then during the last tour. It is a bigger production, and it will require longer rehearsals. And the show will be longer then the last one. As with the album, I do not want to compare it with past shows. It will be very much a 2018 show, reflecting the electro-pop sounds of the album "Camouflage", and translating its music into visual elements too. The setlist will be based on the new album. But it will include also songs from previous English albums. And maybe one or two songs in French. I really look forward to present it in as many countries as we can.
You will be performing for the first time in some countries. Will more dates be added to the tour? Your fans in many countries, such as Brazil, are expecting you.
LF: The idea is to include a many countries as possible to the tour .This is also the reason why we do have almost in every country, only one concert. We will add more dates to the tour for sure, my team is working on it. We will not be adding more dates within the same country, but adding new countries. This is an international tour, and the objective is to present the show in as many countries as time constraints allow us. You should also know that I do not get to decide alone about which country to add to the tour or not. We produce the show, and the concert organizing companies in each country, decide, or not, to invite us to perform. They are the organizers of the concerts in their own country. For example, I would love the “Camouflage World Tour” to include Brazil and other Latin American countries. But it does not depend on me alone.
What is your relationship with social media?
LF: Social media can be a double edged sword. For me, platforms such as Facebook are important to keep in touch with my fans. And twitter or Instagram, to express myself directly, without the filters of traditional media. However, there is also a lot of violence in social media. Behind the presumed anonymity of screen, people write words they would never speak if they were facing the concerned person. As an adult, and an artist, I have learned to deal with that, and choose simply to ignore hateful words. They are often more a reflection of personal problems of the authors, then anything about me or my music. But I know how difficult it can be for a teenager, being the victim of mobbing on social media. As I am very sensitive to issues related to kids and teenagers, I am saddened to see that there are not enough initiatives to address this problem, as well as the issue of proper use of social media, within our education systems. We also need to talk about these issues within our families, to explain to kids that not everything they read on social media or Internet is trustworthy. This is a big issue. As for my official Facebook page, I enjoy visiting it from time to time, reading comments, posting, or clicking on “like”. This direct connection is important for me.
What music do you listen to currently?
LF: I have a very eclectic taste. I love to listen to older records, classics of French and American music. But I am more then ever exposed to new music through my daughter, who keeps presenting me young artists, I would not have heard of without her. So, I might switch in a few minutes from Nina Simone to Imagine Dragons and then back from Sam Smith to Charles Aznavour, passing through P!nk, The Weeknd, or Florent Pagny. Unfortunately, there is not much space left for music on TV. Most of the music shows are gone. I am glad that we have the talent shows, such as "The Voice", where we hear still music on TV, and discover great talents.. The main radio stations play usually the same Top 20 hits , over and over again. I love to browse on Spotify to discover new music. There is so much great music, that unfortunately never reaches wider audiences because radios don’t play them unless they become major commercial hits.
What about your projects, such as a music school, and a Broadway show?
LF: These are still on my mind. I have written material for a musical, but it takes a lot of financial efforts to put together and produce a musical. I am not sure when and if this will materialize. I also would love to be on stage in Broadway, and be part of a musical. A Broadway version of “Yentl” would be a dream. But the project to open a music school, is something that I am seriously thinking of realizing..
What about duets ? Do you have any duets planned in the near futures?
LF: I love duets, and I am lucky to have done quite a few with so many great artists. Duets are about sharing music with another artist, joining our music. They result from artistic and human encounters. They also depend on arrangements between labels, and of the agenda and availability of both sides.. The best ones are the ones where, beyond the compatibility of voices, there are shared values and a real generosity by both sides. I was lucky to have several of these magical moments, and I hope to have more of these in the future. I would love to sing with Michael Bublé for example. And I would have loved to sing with George Michael.. what a sad loss.
What are your next projects ? Another English album ? An album in Spanish?
LF: It is too early to talk about the next projects, I am in the midst of “Camouflage”, the album, and the tour.. But the next album will be for sure in French, and it is scheduled for the end of 2018, if there are no delays. And I will go on tour with the French album too, with several concert dates across France, Québec and Belgium , probably in 2019. . An album completely in Spanish or another language is not foreseen. Until then, I have other surprises and projects. For now, I am focused on “Camouflage”.
Will there be a DVD of the Camouflage Concert?
LF: I hope so, but I can’t tell for sure; These things depend not only of me. Filming a concert and releasing it as a DVD is a commercial venture. DVD’s are rapidly becoming obsolete. Maybe we will have the show broadcast on TV, or make it available on a streaming channel, like Netflix. But it is too early to say. In any case, it will never replace the experience of attending a concert, and sharing the music live, breathing the same air, feeling the bass on our bodies, looking each other in the eyes. That is a unique experience, as much for the audience as for me.
If you had a super power, what would you choose?
LF: I guess teleportation. As much as I love travelling, and being in different places, countries, as much I get tired of all the hassle we have to go through at airports, the delays, cancelled flights, security checks. It would be fantastic if I could just close my eyes, and open them in another country, meet people, perform a show, and then, return in a blink, back home to my family. Wouldn’t that be fantastic ?
Two weeks before the release of “Camouflage”, how do you feel, what is your state of mind?
LF: I am excited. Maybe more then I ever was with a new album. Because this is an album I truly love. I believe that we have created music that is truly reflecting where I want to be as an artist, a performer and songwriter today. It is an album that is modern, and which respects my artistic signature in the same time. It puts a final end to the useless and senseless questions of the past on singing with” too much vocal power”, or not enough of it. It sounds and feels just “right”. I am proud of this album, and very excited to share the songs of “Camouflage” with you.
A message to your fans?
LF: Thank you for all your questions. I look forward to read your comments on the various Facebook pages, my official page, as well as the fan pages. Listen to “Camouflage”, on October 6th, and tell me what you think. And if you do like what you hear, come to my shows next year. See you somewhere, soon...

LF: Thank you for all your questions. I look forward to read your comments on the various Facebook pages, my official page, as well as the fan pages. Listen to “Camouflage”, on October 6th, and tell me what you think. And if you do like what you hear, come to my shows next year. See you somewhere, soon...
