Sarah Connor: In reality she is not Sarah Connor

“I question traditions and long -learned concepts. […] I want wild nights and my lightness back, I want to feel something in a world that always becomes dull. I want to learn something new every day and I fight for what I believe in. “Among other things, with these words, Sarah Connor (45) was quoted in a press release to her new album” Freigeistin “. In an interview with the” Welt am Sonntag “, she now talks about scandals and that she is not Sarah Connor in the real world.

The singer “Go a little differently to rigid concepts and found that free spirit is a good heading for my songs”, as she says to the Sunday newspaper. In your job and with all the attention, you can only stay to stay yourself “by removing the whole thing from time to time”. Connor is always exposed to “evaluations and observations of others” and so that the profession does not take in, she sometimes just has to get out. And that now makes them more often. “Just make up the cell phone and see what is just going on in real life around me,” is the motto.

If nobody watches, the singer is “not Sarah Connor”. She grabs her backpack and is “relatively invisible”. This is not even particularly difficult because she likes to spend time in nature and there even under water. “There are not many other people on the road apart from me,” she says. Nature inspires the 45-year-old. For example, she thought about “what a human woman gets put on for corset in her life that she did not choose”.

The mother of four not only has to gain a distance from the public, but also from her partner and children – because it also exists as a woman. And every woman needs time for herself, “without social media, without children, without friends, without relationships. We women have fine antennas for the needs of others, are always in service mode, always on standby. Therefore we have to feel ourselves all alone in order to recharge our batteries.”

“I have never commented on rumors and hurtful headlines, but ignored and continued. Social media accepted another dimension of the devaluations. Anonymous, cowardly, devastating,” wrote Connor in the announcement of her new single “Ficka”. There are many people, “who express themselves negatively and do not think about what triggers, but do not have to carry any consequences for it,” she says in the interview.

When asked why the song is advertised as a “scandal song”, Connor explains: “No idea that I have not seen the advertising, probably marketing of my record company. I am a mother of four children. Everything is always a scandal for me. I don’t care.”
