RHYTHM<br />
WITH<br />
NATURE<br />
We catch up with Corrinne May<br />
ahead of her performance at<br />
Rhythm with Nature, an outdoor<br />
musical festival at Singapore’s<br />
Gardens by the Bay<br />
HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT<br />
PERFORMING AT GARDENS BY<br />
THE BAY?<br />
I’m honoured to be the fi rst<br />
Singaporean musician to perform<br />
at the opening of the Gardens by<br />
the Bay and I’m excited about it.<br />
It’s going to be my fi rst outdoor<br />
concert — that will be fun! I’m<br />
hoping that the weather will<br />
be kind.<br />
TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR<br />
LATEST ALBUM, CROOKED LINES.<br />
I’ve always drawn from my life’s<br />
experience in writing songs.<br />
Motherhood has been a major<br />
part of my life recently and so a<br />
lot of the songs were inspired<br />
by my journey of learning how<br />
to be a mother to my daughter,<br />
Claire. A lot of the songs deal<br />
with love, with how love grows<br />
through sacrifi ce, the hope for a<br />
better world, and the myriad of<br />
challenges faced in life.<br />
Rhythm with Nature is on from<br />
29 Jun to 1 Jul at Gardens by the<br />
Bay. Tickets at sistic.com.sg<br />
