Feature Article Draft...

The "Lo" down on Lois!! - This is a title for the article, im not sure if i'll use it yet although i like it as we call Lois "Lo" as a nickname.
She's the new funky, fun, loving "IT" girl who's about to rock our worlds and dominate our charts. Lois Andrews and her flaming hot hair are set to breakout into the music industry with her brand new debut single "Pressure". Here the bubbly beauty speaks exclusively to Breakout for the first time about fame, life and music.

Hi Lois, How are you lately? We hope the pressure of fame hasn't gone straight to your head just yet!
I'm cool, I'm  awsome actually, it's not gone to my head but it's pretty weird with the paparazzi flashing their cameras and taking my photo whilst I'm getting into my car to have corn beef hash at my Gran's. (Laughs)

So how are you adjusting to your new life? Any freebies yet or fake friends joining the scene?
I've had quite a lot of Facebook requests but they're from all over the place, places I've never even heard of before, It's mad, I'm like i have MySpace for all that Malarki, I'm all up for fans but it's my own personal thing, I will have to do a Lily Allen and have orange hair for my picture as a decoy! Yeah I've had a free kebab from the local and a few clothing lines but I'm not all into Lacoste and Burberry but if Coast and ASOS want me, yeah! Haha! But no freebies from my mum's Tesco shop yet.

You're a singer/songwriter, has music always been apart of your life?
Yeah, I've grown up with music, it's been pumping through my veins for many many years. I've just had a strong passion and real connection with songs. My mum and dad aren't famous musicians or record label owners so it's all new for us. ( Huge smile on face), I used to be the karaoke hog at Xmas dinner with the family so I think it all started from there. (Chuckles)

We hear a collaboration with Snow Patrol is going to be on your debut album, how major is that!?
Major! It's epic! I actually have a crush on Gary, I'm single, He's single, maybe... (Lois now has a really cheeky grin on her face) but yeah I've loved them sicne they started out! But the song will hopefully be huge, it's a twist on Snow Patrol you'll love it. I do.

So how did that come about?
Ummmm, when i first got signed i didn't realise i was signed to their record company. Our managers and producers got talking about a possible collaberation and yeah that is how history is made.

Your hair is going to become a massive trademark for you, is that how you intended it to be?
No, i actually just went to Boots and bought it, it was between Blonde, brown and red! No intention, i love the colour but mum hates it! Like it? It's sort of fading, do i colour it again or let it go natural?

Ohh we LOVE the colour but we hear your natural colour is extremely exquisite.
Yeah, well it is nice, check out my roots! (she tilts her head and moans like any other female about her roots to Breakout) you will have to wait a few months to see it, i just like the change and the change has done me good, but yeah it was very nice.

And your style? It's very indie-chic. Any influences?
My brother's uni friends, well actually his ex! She was gorgeous and her clothes too, i wanted that old chic look and the indie part has come naturally really. I just shove stuff on and it looks cool, well in my view, but I'm not just a fashion lover, I can't stand what Chung wear from overprices TopShop!

Lets hope Alexa Chung doesn't read Breakout any time soon!
(Haha) no, i like her just not her style.

Okay so your debut single "Pressure" is set tp be released this Monday, what is the song actually about?
It's based on life, like how many things get to you and it shouldn't get you down as there is ways through it, the pressure of sex,drugs, doing well in education but then you have friends and family to get you up again and it's all good.

And you've just turned 17? How do you cope with school, friends, boys and business?
I don't cope, I put up with (Haha) school there's so much pressure 7 A-Levels, the pupils are the worst part, fake asses! Friends are fab, they help you out a lot and also come to teh gigs and pull the hot guys (another cheeky grin) I'm just glad I have my mum to sort all the media and music out! I have a great support system, without them I qould have crumbled and I havn't even started yet, it's madness.

Many up and coming artists of all genres automatically have the job as being a role model, is that what you want?
Ermm, well i want people to let them be who they want and maybe my music can help them shape them into a cool person. I'd love it if i did help! That would be awsome.

Finally any eye-candy we should be on the lookout for?
(Laughs) That's for me to knoe and you to find out!

Lois' debut Album Foundation will be available to download from I-Tunes on the 1st April 2010, her debut single Pressure will be available to download from Monday.

I will need to shorten this article in order for it to fit on the page and to keep the readers attention for longer, i have chosen a few text grab lines such as " I can't stand what Chung wears from overpriced TopShop" This will make it sound like Lois is very bitchy however it is an innocent comment on fashion influences.
