To get a better understanding about the album itself, here are a few
questions we asked Gigi Lamayne:

* Why did you choose the title "Mermaids and Stuff", what is the
reason behind the tittle?

Gigi mentions "I recently went on a spiritual journey and the common
element with my journey and the project is water. The ideal way we want
to be as human beings is still like water but sometimes, we are faced
with tides, the crushing of waves and the flooding in our minds. The
message I am sending across is we should be like mermaids and be one
with water. Even with the tides and hardships we need to be one with the
water like mermaids."

* The album has a lot of great features, why did you choose to feature
these artists?

"The reason for me choosing a lot of the features was based of on
feeling that I needed to experience other people differently, I have
always wanted to wok with Sho Modjozi, Nadia Nakai and Moozlie. We have
been together in the industry, so it made sense to put them as part of
my journey. I needed to feature more women than men and empower each
other as they are powerful women with powerful stories to tell."

* What is your favourite song on the album?

"My favourite song has to be 'Lola Mendoza' featuring 25K, it tells the
story of a hardcore couple who go to odds to be together and live the
life they want to live. They are equals, view life the same and it is
the ultimate love story. The video will allow for an AMAZING story, we
are hoping to get amazing visuals on that story."

* What motivated the album?

"The motivation behind the album was the zero to hero effect, I have
been through a lot in my personal life I wanted to tell the story about
my journey hence 19 songs. The stories told as clearly as you will hear
it there were times when I was in love and I fell out of love then back
I in love. I felt hopeless I went through the emotions and I feal
powerful now. That is what inspired the album the zero to hero effect of
any young black independent girl growing up in Africa and having a dream
to chase."
