Actor Jaden Smith and model Kendall Jenner joined singer Justine Skye at her ‘Emotionally Unavailable’ record release party at HYDE Sunset: Kitchen + Cocktails on June 23, 2015 in West Hollywood, California. Justine a.k.a the “Purple Unicorn” recently spoke to VH1 about her new EP and her wrapped “Bandit” mini-tour.
On why she named her EP, Emotionally Unavailable:
My friend actually came up with the name, just talking to me. And then I thought it would be a great title for my EP because it’s like a combination of songs and feelings I felt after I got done with a relationship.
It’s also like a contradiction, because to say something like you’re “emotionally unavailable” you have to be emotional, and I feel like that’s what a lot of us are going through. So that’s really where it came from.
On why she refers to yourself as the “Purple Unicorn”:
Well, my hair is purple for one, and one day I was recording in the studio and someone was like, “Yo, this sounds so magical…Yo, you’re like a unicorn.” From that day on, I just decided to call myself a unicorn because they’re like so rare and unique and you know they’re strong, beautiful, and very powerful.
That’s why I like to call myself the “unicorn” and I call my fans “unicorns” as well, because we’re like the unicorn nation. We’re a family and we’re starting a new movement of rare beings.
Justine Skye releases a new jam titled “I’m Yours” featuring Roc Nation rapper Vic Mensa.
Over the past few months, Justine released tracks like “A Train” and the West Indian-inspired “Bandit,” which she recently shot a video for in her hometown of BK.
On whether or not the ‘Bandit tour’ was her first solo tour:
Yes, it absolutely is. It’s a mini tour, so it’s giving me a good start. In September I’m going on a bigger tour and I’m really excited for that. So this is “the test.”
