Zoë Kravitz thinks pop music is "a positive thing" if it's done in the right way.
The daughter of rocker Lenny Kravitz is now a singer in her own band, Lolawolf. And while her dad has always had a clear genre in mind for his music, the 26-year-old accepts her tunes are a bit more muddled and won't appeal to everyone.
"I think pop can be good. Pop just means that people can listen to it, maybe it's a bit cheesy or makes you want to dance or whatever," she explained to i-D magazine. "Pop is a positive thing, if it's good. If it's bad pop, that's a different story. The Beatles were pop. Pop means popular. We're either too indie and too weird for some people or too pop for others."
Zoë is joined by band mates Jimmy Giannopoulos and James Levy in Lolawolf, and the boys often have to travel to work with her while she juggles her music career with her acting commitments. Having appeared in Divergent and Good Kill last year, Zoë somehow managed to find the time to also release the band's eponymous EP at the start of 2014, which was promptly followed by the album Calm Down. She never expected her music to take off the way it has.
"It just happened on its own. I would have been content with just doing little shows and doing it for fun, but people started to like it and it just happened," she explained. "I get that the album is all over the place in that every song has a different energy. But I think it sounds like the same band, it all goes together. We've been calling it Electronic/R&B."
