Welcome to Younghollywood. com. Hey there Young Hollywood, I'm Tatiana Diana. We are behind the scenes of Star Shell's newest music video Superlover. As you can see, there's a lot going on. We're going to go catch up with Star Shell and see what this video is all about.

Starshell

So now, back to the back, you want to be your super lover. Back to the back, you want to be your super lover. Oh, you're super lover. Oh, you're super lover.

Young Hollywood

Tell us about the song, what's it about?

Starshell

It's like girls just want to have fun. You know, um trying to tap into what I used to see when I was a little girl and um on TV and everyone was just having fun. Girls, just want to have fun. Like it's it it's reminiscent of that. And um it's about a girl who is trying to get this guy's attention and she's dancing on the tables and she's kicking her legs up and she's doing it all. And she's vulnerable because he's kind of like not paying her any attention. But for the video, the theme, I got it from one of my favorite all-time movies, Weird Science. So, Kelly Lebrock moments, meet futuristic world. It's it's it's crazy.

Young Hollywood

So, you seem to be really inspired by the 80s. Is the rest of your album kind of take that tone as well?

Starshell

Um, I'm inspired by the 80s because I'm an 80s baby, but we like to use the word retro futuristic. So, it's things that I loved about the 80s, but it's definitely today. And um it's a fusion of all of that because I'm like a mutt. So, all the cultures and all the things that I've um experienced growing up, it's a fusion of all that.

Young Hollywood

Your fashion sense is pretty amazing. Do you style yourself? What is what inspires you fashion?

Starshell

Um, basically I just like to wear what I feel comfortable in. Um, when I was growing up, I always looked at women on TV and it was like an effortless sexy, like Kelly Lebrock was never like wearing a mini skirt with her booty hanging out or anything like that. She just looked good, like naturally sexy. So I I just put on what I feel good in and I feel like any girl, whatever you feel good in, you're going to look sexy and be a fashion statement.

Young Hollywood

Just to give a little bit of a brief background. You are the first female artist signed with Mary J. Blige's record label. That's such a huge honor. How did that happen?

Starshell

Yes, first of all, it is a huge honor to be signed to Mary J. Blige, um, record label Matriarch. I met Mary and can do through a producer and then they introduced me to Mary. I started writing on her record. We just hit it off and we was like, hey, what are you doing? Do you have a deal? No. Hey, let's just be friends. That's how it went.

Young Hollywood

That sounds great. So, you are not new to the music game. You've worked with a lot of huge names like Kanye and Will I Am. Can you tell us about that?

Starshell

Definitely, um, all I can say is I just feel so blessed to have had those opportunities. Um, I work with Kanye West on Love Lockdown and uh his 808s and Heartbreaks um album. I work with Will I Am on some stuff on my album and um got a chance to uh take one of his tracks and write to it. So, I'm just living my dream.

Young Hollywood

Who inspired you growing up? Was Mary J. Blige one of the people that inspired you?

Starshell

Oh, absolutely. Is that even a question? No. Inspire me, I don't even think. Exactly. So, um, some of my other inspirations are Michael Jackson, of course, rest in peace, Prince, Blondie, Madonna, Duran Duran, uh, love No Doubt, like I had no doubt, Alanis Morissette and Reasonable Doubt at the same time and Mary J. Blige at the same time. It's just, you know, it's just the melting pot that we all in this generation are. What's up, Young Hollywood? Thank you so much for stopping by my video, Super Lover. I'm Star Shell. Young Hollywood, you guys are so dope. Thanks again. Super Lover, baby.
