阿瓦·麦克斯（Ava Max） has two concurrent haircuts, several A+ pop belters and, as of today (September 18 2020) precisely one (1) highly listenable album. She spoke with Popjusticerecently in an interview that included an unexpected reference to charcuterie boards and therefore counts as 'wide-ranging'. Here's what she has to say for herself…
阿瓦·麦克斯（Ava Max），您好。今天你在想什么？
专辑发行。我对此感到非常兴奋。
直插相册专辑。公平地说，这是一张不错的专辑。 “所有的好单打和一些垃圾”情况都不是其中一种。
这与我的情况相反。我们出现了问题！你知道那是什么问题吗？
阿娃那是什么问题？
我们的问题是每首歌都是一首。我们不知道接下来要推出哪一个。 （细说）
我想一旦专辑发行就很容易了：看看哪个流媒体效果最好，就是那首单曲，就可以拍摄视频。
究竟。我喜欢。
在选举年中，这是处理事情的非常民主的方式。
是!
几年前我们谈过，您提到您小时候在机场遇见Pharrell的经历…
He won’t remember this. I was very, very young — I was twelve years old, at a Miami airport. I’d flown there with my parents from Virginia. I saw him and I went: “AH! It’s PHARRELL!” I walked towards him, said hi and told him I loved him and that I was a singer, and he said: “Keep going.”
您是否认为他对所有人都这样说，还是您认为他在您身上看到了什么？
好。感觉很独特。我不知道。
从那以后，您的生活在一句话中发生了多少变化？
哦，它已经走下坡路了。开玩笑！实际上，它实际上已经上坡了。由于专辑的所有内容，我-
再次出现！专辑！
是的，再次。我等不及要听别人的专辑了。今天可以出去吗？为什么今天不出来‽
显然，这在流神手中。我们不怀疑他们的动机。有 最近分享了一点的文章, mainly relating to the release of the Katy Perry album, and it was pretty much an obituary for a certain type of pop music. But then here you are with your 32m monthly Spotify listeners, making it work. You’ve described your music as “straight, head-on pop”. What’s happening there?
You know, I get a lot of love but I also get a lot of hate. At the end of the day you’ve got to just laugh at the haters. It’s about going against the grain. I think that’s a good message for our youth. We need to let our youth know that we have to go against the grain. It’s not always about following the leader or doing what cool. Personally I love this album: it’s anthemic, it’s empowering, and I enjoyed making it. And it happened to be that nobody else was making it. When Sweet But Psycho came out it wasn’t something I planned, I just knew it was something I loved, but I was aware there was not much pop music at the time. I didn’t think it was going to do anything. But it did. 我不敢相信我走了这么远 — yes, I worked hard, but you never know what people are going to like.
您在这里提到了“酷”一词，但我不确定如何在不听起来很粗鲁的情况下说出这句话，但是目前大多数艺术家都非常可信，而且……似乎没有打扰您？
I DON’T CARE! It’s just a made up word. It’s a trend. As you can see from my haircut I don’t go with the trend. Going with the trend is boring, in my opinion. It’s following the leader. That’s not something I was good at when I was at school, it’s not something I like doing now, it’s not something for me. I tend to go… A little different.
同时进行两次理发的主要好处和陷阱是什么？
Oh, well ponytails suck — you have to find a way to braid it in a certain way so it looks cool. ‘Cool.’ There you are, that word again. Hair does need to look cool when it’s braided. But when it looks like this [ie not in a ponytail, flowing free like Ava’s own creative spirit] it can be weird and messed up.
有些歌手在处理“困难的第二张专辑”时会遇到困难，但我想知道您难于完成第二张发型。第三，如果我们接受您目前有两个。
我可能会剃光头。我喜欢那种外观，但我们会看到的。
什么是Ava Max最深最黑暗的凹陷所在？是什么在驱动你？
My family. Seeing them happy makes me happy. I grew up with them and they sacrificed a lot for me and my dreams. I saw them struggle when I was growing up, you know they came to America as immigrants… I just want them to retire and that’s the number one drive for me.
关于这一点的事情是，当他们退休时，他们将有更多时间打电话给您。显然，与家人交谈总是很高兴，但是……在合理的范围内。
我知道。哦，妈妈，每当她打电话给我时，“你喝水了吗？” “你吃东西了吗？”就像是：“我现在就快吃！”
您是否曾经以如此准确的速度预测过未来，以至于您觉得自己确实具有精神上的力量？
很难说。在《 Sweet But Psycho》问世的前一天晚上，我不知道我是否看到了未来，但我确实做了一个愿望。我跪下来说：“如果这不起作用，如果没有共鸣，我什至在做什么？”它 有 即将发生。当它出来并开始飞行并变得疯狂时，就像是：宇宙中的某种感觉到了我。我不知道是我表现出来的，还是经过多年的努力，但宇宙中有某种联系。
The first time I heard Sweet But Psycho being absolutely hammered was on a Swedish radio station I sometimes listen to if British ones have got boring. It felt like they were playing it once an hour, before anyone else was really on board. And combining that with the idea of you being on your knees, almost praying for success, makes me wonder if God might be Swedish.
啊！瑞典！！！他可能是瑞典人。我不会感到惊讶。
让我们谈谈天堂&地狱，那是你的相册的名字。
让我们。
大。谁去地狱？
哦，我的上帝。这是一个艰难的过程。曾经欺骗过女友的人。
男人很多，公平地说，很多女人。
究竟！ （另一个ca） 另外：当我“很高”时，从不想帮助我的人。
那是相当残酷的Ava。有人不想给您唱片唱片，现在他们真的要死了。
我正在考虑更多试图将我引导到错误方向的人！人！邪恶的人！
有人试图破坏你吗？
It’s multiple people. I think in general people want to mess with something good, right? I was this young, 14-year-old girl in LA who was kind of naive and gullible and “oh my God LA’s a big city and I want to sing”… So of course people are going to take advantage of a girl like that. And that’s the worst part of it. That right there is NOT a good person.
您进入天堂的规则是什么？
输入一些纸杯蛋糕。
五年前。
我喜欢蛋糕。记住：我不酷。另外，我想要一些Twizzler，Skittles ...所有的好东西。那就是天堂的意思。还有一个熟食店板！
棋盘？
杂货店里只有一个。
谁会是天堂中找不到的人？
我想在那儿找到琼·里弗斯。她看起来很有趣，但看起来像是一个非常好的人。她是一个有趣的女孩。
这是一个非常意外的选择。
你叫我出乎意料！
我只是不记得有哪位艺术家在采访中提到琼·里弗斯。
好吧，我们到了。
您的musi中有很多尖叫声-
（尖叫声）
这会成为前进的主题吗？
会有一些。我觉得尖叫是我身份的一部分。在我的歌曲中，但在现实生活中也是如此。如果我在做饭时用手烫在东西上，我会尖叫。我一直在尖叫。如果我走进玻璃门，我会尖叫。
您……您经常走进玻璃门吗？
我做。我实际上是前几天。
这就是餐厅必须在漂亮的门上贴上标签的原因。
我知道。真的是我我很高兴自己没有打碎任何玻璃门，我需要为它们付款，是吗？
让我们回到您最喜欢的主题：您的相册。专辑已经死了，不是吗？他们是这样说的。 “人们只想要曲目！”
那些人是骗子。
告诉我更多。专辑作为一种艺术形式有什么意义？
Well I think visually. I definitely saw 天堂and Hell in my head and I wanted it to be a full-length project. I never wanted to put out an EP. The album was definitely the main goal. And then when it was done, I actually last-minute added Torn for Purgatory. I’m very excited about this record. I’m excited to see what people think of it.
因此，您穿上了Torn，但我注意到您没有穿上“不是您的芭比女孩”。看起来很刺耳。现在已经把它委托给流行历史的垃圾箱了吗？
当我需要她时，她肯定在我身边。我认为她不需要出现在相册中。噢，天哪，我要打喷嚏！ （不打喷嚏） 我很好。
有一个短语，不是，“魔鬼拥有所有最好的曲调”。但是OMG发生了什么？在专辑的天堂一侧，这使我得出结论：上帝也有一些不错的曲调，或者恶魔只是不太擅长制作播放列表。发生了什么。
OMG What’s Happening just felt like Heaven. She’s in love in the song — it’s a very happy song. So, right, how I placed the songs on the album was by melody and feeling, not by lyrics. If that makes sense? I wanted to make sure when you clicked play you felt either heavenly and happy or kind of devilish.
这很令人困惑。
我是个怪人。同样，再次：不酷。我开箱即用。声音上需要调整。
蕾哈娜（Rihanna）和西蒙·考威尔（Simon Cowell）在上周均受伤。需要采取什么步骤来保护流行人员免受电动踏板车的伤害？
JUST DON’T GET ON ONE. Do not. I literally cannot even fathom going that fast. I went on one recently and it freaked me out. When I was a little kid I 有 a yellow motor scooter that I crashed. I did a full flip. I’m surprised I didn’t die! I landed in the grass. I definitely don’t recommend going fast on these scooters. They’re very dangerous, actually. Get a bicycle!
您知道Kings and Queens Pt 2，对了，Lauv和Saweetie出现在哪里？
我做。
您能做的事情是，每两个月再发行一次，并增加两个人吗？我觉得您可以使用一个小时的版本，其中包含一百个人。
这些天你什么都可以逃脱。 Sweetie和Lauv绝对很棒。
您想向谁添加第三版？
您和西蒙·考威尔康复之后。
真是个令人反感的想法。 Ava或Amanda今天在和谁聊天？
我今天就像阿曼达。
有什么区别？
我现在有点疯了。您可以问我任何事情，我会说。
永远不要对英国面试官耶稣基督这样说。还有什么要说的吗？
谢谢你让我参加。
如您所知，Ava的专辑 天堂& Hell 现在出来了。 为什么不试一下呢？
