Yu Tsai CHRISTINA PERRI: GET INSIDE HER HEAD & INTO HER HEART

The singer-songwriter talks about her album, upcoming L.A. show.

BY SYDNEY CHAMPION

“HELLO-OOO!” SAID CHRISTINA PERRI in her light, singsong voice through the phone when she greeted me. She seemed to be in a wonderful mood before our interview, elated and excited. And truthfully, she had good reason to be. Our interview took place on the same day (April 1) Perri’s latest album, Head or Heart, released to the public. The 13-track album garnered some amazing success, making its way into SoundScan/Billboard 200 at No. 4 in its first week with sales in excess of 40,000—the singer-songwriter’s biggest sales week to date. Head or Heart follows Perri’s 2011 debut, lovestrong. Within the new album, the singer poses a very important question that everyone, especially those who have been in relationships, is familiar with: In matters of love, should we follow our hearts or our heads? As a dual album, half of the songs on Head or Heart are “head” songs, and half of them are “heart” songs. While tacking in each track, you’ll find yourself playing a guessing game, analyzing each one and wondering, “Is this a ‘head’ or a ‘heart’ song?” However, this game is impossible to win. The only way to know which one is which is by having Perri spill the beans, which she probably would never do. “The ultimate goal is for me never to say which one is which because…I like to keep the song interpretable. So, if I went into thinking it was a ‘head’ song and someone else said it’s a ‘heart’ song, I’m not going to get in the way of that,” explained Perri. has proven to work out quite well for the singer. It is one of her on our favorite shows or in an upcoming film remains to be seen “Where I was coming from and who I wrote the song about is strengths, leading her to more opportunities and success in both (“I’ve actually written and submitted things for some stuff, but also a way for me to know whether it was a ‘head’ or a ‘heart’ the television and film worlds. “If a song works in a TV show I can’t say,” she teased), but Angelinos will be able to hear the thing…where I was following my head more or my heart more.” or film, that makes sense to me because I’m so over-the-top songstress live when she takes the stage at the Wiltern on May Paying close attention to the words and vibe in each song dramatic,” she said. 17. is obviously the best way to figure out where the song is coming For example, Perri’s “Jar of Hearts” (lovestrong.) was Set to perform new songs with a couple of old ones, Perri from. For instance, the chorus of “Be My Forever” ft. Ed Sheeran featured on “So You Think You Can Dance” and “Glee.” “A will be trying some new, fun things onstage during her North (“And oh we got love/Yeah/Darling just swear you’ll stand right Thousand Years” was a hit from The Twilight Saga: Breaking American tour, while still keeping each song emotional. by my side/Be my forever”) instantly screams out “HEART!” Dawn Part II and received a hefty amount of radio time, “I play the guitar, the piano, but now it’s like I’ve got this song to me, whereas opening track “Trust” (“I knew better than/ subsequently becoming the go-to wedding song for many brides. whole new album where I don’t play an instrument and I kind of To trust myself/To trust someone else/To trust the lies that slip And now, a few tracks from Head or Heart are already run around, which is brand new for me,” she said. from my mouth/Trust the heart I’m so quick to sell”) simply getting their exposure in the spotlight. “I Don’t Wanna Break” Perri also revealed she has been going to rehearsal every whispers, “head.” was featured in an episode of HBO’s “Girls,” and the album’s day, proving that this talented brunette is preparing to “sing Still, many of the songs have listeners scratching their heads first single (“Human”) appeared on “Dancing with the Stars.” [her] ass off” when she gets in front of her adoring, loyal fans. as they try to decipher what experience Perri was looking back “I just feel so excited and honored when someone picks And she must, especially since every single song on Head or on as she sat down and wrote at her piano, in her hotel room, me,” said Perri when talking about her songs being chosen for Heart is incredibly powerful and heartfelt. on the airplane—wherever (“Seriously, I never ever know when TV and movie projects. “The songs are so big and vocal; everything you hear on the a song is going to come,” laughed Perri). When asked if she had a dream show she would love to record is what I do on stage,” she said. “So, I think people might There is one thing that all of the “head” and “heart” songs have her songs showcased on, she replied, “I don’t know how to be stoked to see big songs come to life…it’s going to be a night have in common, though, which is very characteristic of a sort of ask for that to happen. But at the same time, I’m obsessed of real music.” Christina Perri song: they are all dramatic. “I feel like I write in a with ‘Parenthood,’ ‘Once Upon a Time,’ ‘Game of Thrones’— all very dramatic way,” admitted Perri. of these shows I love…!” Christina Perri will be performing in Los Angeles at the Wiltern This ability to embed a certain drama in all of her songs Whether or not we hear more of Perri’s smoldering vocals on May 17, 2014.
