Dove Cameron Opens Up About Why Her Music Is Darker Than People Expect
Dove Cameron is dishing on her new music and how it’s different from her Disney Channel days.
In a recent interview, the 24-year-old songstress and actress opened up about her music being darker than you would expect it to be.
“Nobody ever believes me when I say this, so I always say this kind of defeated, but I am, like, a dark person” Dove told Apple Music. “I always have been. And I just ended up with a career path that was very shiny.”
“I never felt like I needed to project anything. And I really thought people would just authentically receive who I was, but it doesn’t really happen in the industry,” she continued. “You kind of have to brand yourself and really communicate with people if they are going to respond to that. And so I think all of these years, I thought I was being received for the person that I am, and it really shocked me to see how much people don’t really know that side of me.”
“So it is a conscious decision to release darker, more moody music. But its not to break away from anything, as much as it is to express who I’ve always been,†Dove added.
