Loreen in an exclusive interview with Nyheter24 of broken relationships, separation anxiety and love.
Loreen Talhoui, 28, do not drink alcohol, but sings in the new song “Crying out your name” how she emptied the mini bar to escape from a broken relationship.
– I depicts a woman who has been heart broken, and she chooses to use the bottle to calm her separation anxiety and the pain of being separated from someone. The battle was lost. It did not work, she says and continues:
– The reason I have chosen to highlight alcohol as an escape is because it is like that for many, not for myself, but I have seen people around me, and there is no right or wrong in it. But I wanted to highlight the vulnerability behind it.
But it is not difficult to relate to it when you do not drink?
– For me it’s not. It is not the alcohol that’s the point of it, but it is to be heartbroken and I’ve been. For me to know that things do not work … Most of my album is about love relationships, separation and acceptance. Like that chimeras have as infidelity. Very strangely about it. Usually it is not that I am pointing finger at someone else and say like “you did this to me”, but it is from my own point of view.
Have you been through infidelity?
– No, but I’ll say one thing about infidelity. For me it does not mean you’re cheating when you’re running away to have sex with someone else. It’s a thought, as soon as you think of someone else, or dreaming of someone else, or want someone else, you’re already gone. I see infidelity in a completely different way. I think you should divorce when things are broken, you should not stay. Infidelity is usually about prestige.
Are you still heartbroken?
– No, I’m actually not heartbroken at all. But it’s interesting what comes up when you sing, I end up in some kind of trance. There is much pain that comes out again then.
Are you perhaps instead in love again?
– No, or I’m in love with love. I love love. But right now I’m not in love, and we should be damn happy about that. Because I am a true romanticist!
