S BUSINESS FOR SO LONG, BLE TO CAPTIVATE THE NDS ... I AM SO HUMBLED from! I performed the chune in Trinidad, and the fans loved it so – it’s a good thing! Editor’s note: Only Lady Saw can do a song like this! Will we see you as the Queen of Dancehall record with Beenie the King of Dancehall anytime soon. Better yet, a joint album called ‘King and Queen?!’ Well we have worked together before, and I’m sure we will work together again! You are the only female in Dancehall to reach Gold and Triple Platinum certification from the R.I.A.A. for your work in 2002 and 2003 respectively, and you have also won a Grammy for your work with No Doubt. Do those accolades influence how or with whom you make music? What I will say about that is those awards have opened many doors for me. For instance, if a big artist from America, or any other part of the world, wants to do collaboration with a female, my name is the first that’s called. If I feel it won’t be good for me, I turn it down, if I like it, I work with it. Definitely, those accolades have opened doors for me and still open doors for me. It’s a good look! On a different tip, young men have commented that you look really good for your ‘age’ and wouldn’t mind courting you. What are some of the beauty regiments you use to keep your skin looking flawless? Nothing! God knows, I eat late at night, I love ice cream, I cook rice and peas with coconut milk, I love creamy pasta but the thing is, my Mom looked like us. People would think she was a sister, but she’s our Mom! It’s just great genes! What general advice can you give readers on Life, Love and Lyrics? On life, please enjoy it to the fullest! If you like to party, then partay; if you like being in the church, then give thanks and praises in the church. Whatever makes you happy, enjoy it and do it! Love is a wonderful thing, and it can also bring you pain. I think giving love everyday is beautiful and the right thing to do; and laugh too! Lyrics is powerful. Make sure what you say comes from your heart.
