It’s interesting when you write something for somebody else and then you’re like, “Oh man, I just laid my whole trip on them and they don’t even know!” It’s probably something they’re going through too, or will go through or have gone through, but I just laid it all on them somehow. When I listen to it now, I’m like, “Wow, you really knew what was happening, even though you felt like you didn’t.” Before I even knew I was gonna go through this break up, that’s when a blast of things happened. ROSENZWEIG: It sounds like you write your own stuff during the calm before the storm, or the calm after the storm. It’s easier for me to write for other people then. Before something happens, when I can feel it’s about to happen, and after something happens, seem to be when I get busy. I got out of a long-term relationship, got into a new one, and while it was going on I was a little dormant. But I’m constantly working my own stuff, and my own stuff seems to come in little bursts. A few times a week-I try to not go too crazy-I’m working with some other artist.
What has it been like returning to your own project? MATHIAS ROSENZWEIG: Recently, you’ve been very involved in making music for other artists. Now based in Los Angeles, Pergolizzi remains refreshingly raw, impartial, and seemingly limitless.Īhead of her performance today on Late Night with Seth Meyers, we spoke with the artist about writing for other artists, her love of Los Angeles, and how a painful break up can turn into the most powerful tool. Some of her most noteworthy writing credits in her decades-long history include the Backstreet Boys’ album Unbreakable (2007), Rita Ora’s single “Shina Ya Light” (2012), and Rihanna’s song “Cheers (Drink to That)” (2010). More than just crafting some of the most compelling rock music we’ve heard lately, LP simultaneously pushes her boundaries by writing for pop artists like Christina Aguilera, Isabella Summers of Florence and the Machine, and Cher. Partially dissatisfied with the existing repertoire, Pergolizzi is currently working on her fourth studio effort, due for release later this year via Vagrant.
#Song that sounds like ori lost in the storm full#
Born Laura Pergolizzi in Long Island, New York, the 37-year-old has released three full albums thus far: Heart-Shaped Scar (2001), Suburban Sprawl & Alcohol (2004), and Forever for Now (2014). Take one listen to her crooning voice on the painfully relatable and lovingly emotive track “Lost On You,” and you’ll understand why.
