Lena Meyer-Landrut about bullying and her new Album

Lena, you have set the last week, a Statement against cyber bullying. Are like the words?

Yes. But the vaccinations were much worse. I don't want to say, because they are so bad. Unfortunately this is not just me. A lot of people are daily bepöbelt. These are often very personal things: It's about the character, family Background or skin color. Something like that is thrown out daily to the head, we have to deal with. You can go out of it but in the end, stronger.

you are now talking very relaxed about it. You have not taken the bullying in person?

a Total of. I would be lying if would say, that would be no Problem for me. This has been a huge problem. And I can't talk about this now. In the beginning me have influenced many of the negative comments. The result was that I have power. As a result, I have a cold type, which is not really a part of me. The bothered me to me is total.

Because they thought each Statement because of what others might say about it?

Exactly. I had no confidence, if I posted something or other had to be replaced. I pulled back and an arrogance broadcast, in order to protect me. At some point I've noticed That it doesn't feel even to myself, I am actually this Person.

How do you respond?

I wanted to change this for me, myself and my center again. It has been reported broadly about the fact that I'm in some kind of crisis. For me, it was more of a break and a Chance for change. There was so much noise from the outside, and I had to close and hear me, what I really want. This has worked very well. My awareness of myself I was able to use later in the Studio completely for me.

This crisis has led to the fact that they have moved for this year's planned Album?

everything I have designed the originally planned Album, in a Phase in which, according to the. I wrote the Songs as a automatism. Then I asked myself: Am I really? I then got the courage to say, now I have to have peace and quiet and again not to start because something is wrong here. I don't want to not record something that is authentic.

Have you thought about, in the meantime, completely from the social networks Maksibet to withdraw?

There were times when I had no desire to post something, because it is used anyway apart again, no matter what I do. Now I know: This is just like that – there will always be people who do not well see what I'm doing. But I also for me to check: This is okay. This has nothing to do with me, which is something Universal.

"Thank you," the first Single from their new Album, reads like a response to the hatred on the net. This is a consequence of their self-discovery phase?

Exactly. I've learned: It grows on resistance. Resistance means that, with a lot of strength through a difficult Phase. The more force you have to apply for it, the more satisfying it is when you overcome them. I am grateful for these moments. Sometimes you must pass through the pain.

Lena's new Album "Only Love, L" will appear on 5. April 2019

Will put the other Songs on the Album with the hate on the Internet?

The Album is called "Only Love, L". I always write under the letters and e-mails. Everything, what I in the world. Because I think the idea is nice, everything with love. That's why the Album is very positive, even if it contains critical or thoughtful topics that I have processed in the time-out. It rotates but also to love on different levels, romantic love such as love of neighbor. It comes to Fears, doubts, self-awareness and self-love.

That sounds very problematic.

not at All. My reason of motion, strength, and positivity. Therefore, it has become a very happy Album.

What has helped you in the crisis time the most?

The realization that a private self leads to awareness that one is so dependent on the consciousness of others. And it helps always to speak with people whom you can trust.

your Lyrics are free of anger. It didn't cost you power to react emotionally?

I'm very emotional. I've also anger and lack of understanding. But it is important that the remains are not hanging. That does not deny his everyday life, but finds a way to leave the Negative behind. You can only affect how you deal with them yourselves. Therefore, I have to wear anything to anyone, the spots only.

How, today, you go to insults on the net?

I see it in the sense of calm that I can say: There is nothing that destroys me completely, it is also nothing that leaves me completely cold. I'm trying to process and let go. This works actually quite good.

Boris Becker has long suffered, that he is for the most German of the 17-year-old from Leimen, of Wimbledon, has won. Is it a Problem for you, that you many still see the 19-year-old high school graduate from Hanover, which has won the ESC?

of course, There were phases where I'm totally disturbed. This Moment is the reason why I am here today. For that I am eternally grateful. I may make a lot of great stuff and I'm one of the luck-kissed child. There is no reason to hold in resentment.

See you
