Lockdown has been fine most of the time. I’ve got super okay at playing the piano and I’ve been working out and eating loads of food. I’m trying to keep positive about the future. I think there’s too much pessimism around, which might be more realistic, but equally don’t think it’s very progressive or helpful. So it’s good to be optimistic about this situation for our own mental health.

The thing I miss the most is also the thing I miss the least, which is paying £5 for a pint of beer! Very bittersweet.

Ham Chunks and Wine is about a love for partying but also the pains which come along with it, so things like occasional regret, the fear in the morning, and kind of wishing you could stay in a state of party mode and having no inhibitions all the time. But also, without any of the shit side effects like arguing with your boyfriend or feeling sad. The name came from a morning when I woke up super hungover and alone after getting in a fight with my boyfriend and not remembering why it had happened. Then, I went downstairs and noticed I had thrown up all over the floor. I had drunk red wine and ate ham the night before, so you can imagine the state…

Well, the first single, Here with Me, is a sombre and relatable ballad. The other tracks are way more party vibes but all of them have an element of sadness to them. I shot another video for a song called Rid of All (produced by Count Baldor), which is coming out on the 3rd of June and that shows the other side of partying – that fun and crazy side where everyone is happy! But yes, the album takes you on that journey of going out partying and then waking up hungover in the morning basically.

Here With Me and Rid Of All, but let’s be honest, they are all perfect!

It was the first single I released from this EP and it was produced by my friend and amazing musician Jerskin Fendrix. The song is about a journey of going out, a night out perhaps, or a lifetime of going out. It’s the last track on the EP, so it’s really the closure or the ending to the night out, waking up in the morning, and wishing you were still there, in a moment.

I was so happy when Dylan and Laura (100 gecs) asked me to remix Stupid Horse as it’s the most ‘me song’ on their whole album! Me and Count Baldor had a sick time making it and shooting the video was fun too! I’d love to say that when doing collaborations that I know that me and the other artist have a similar artistic vision, but saying that there have been many times where I’ve thought to myself, let’s do something out of the box with someone I’ve never worked with before, or even would occasionally do a song with a fan, it’s nice to know people like what I do, so am always interested to see what someone I would not usually ever work with, or have a relationship with, would do with my voice.

If you go on to www.gfoty.com, you’ll find all the info about how to get involved, but essentially, it is a 10-room festival on fak.ovh (basically, a pirate Habbo site) which is a world of all things GFOTY. You can have a coffee at GFOTYBUCKS, hang out in the club GFOTY’s bathrooms, dance in the GFOTY stadium, and so much more. And I’ve got good friends of mine playing too, like Dorian Electra, Putochinomaricón, Count Baldor, Spinee and loads of other artists I love! It’s gonna be wild. Please come!

The original Habbo Hotel was a huge part of my teen life! I was a bit of a catfish though, I used to pretend I was a hot habbo boy and would be going out with girls. I’ve also been doing a few live streams here and there, and occasionally getting a bit drunk and going on Iingstam live on a Friday night, but then waking up and being like, what the fuck, Polly?

Not being able to tour for sure. I had plans to go to Australia and the United States this year – among other things… It’s also a super big part of me to meet new people and throw parties and ideas around, which I find you can’t completely replicate on a phone call or a Zoom party. Fingers are so crossed so we can all get back to what we love soon.

To be honest, I don’t even want to think about it – maybe that’s irresponsible, but being pessimistic about the future isn’t helping me right now! My suggestions are to take it slowly and find something you love to do and make yourself do that thing once a day, at least only just for ten minutes.

Working on my album, having my birthday, and hopefully playing at least one show somewhere!
