The music on her new album Black Lace & Leather is a mix of club music and pop. “My lyrics are very strait forward, honest and taking out of my real life. This album means a lot to me since I have been through a lot since the last album was released in 2003.” “I left Sony Music 1999 to start my own label and I have not been signed as an artist since then. I do collaborations with different labels around the globe. Universal Sweden only released one single for me. So I am my own boss to decide who to work with and where to sell my music. Like my song B.I.T.C.H - babe in total control of herself. That is me!” When it comes to advice for other artists wanting to start their own label Denise Lopez has a lot to say; “Make sure you know what you get yourself into. Even if you have the money it does not mean you will learn how to do it on your own right away. Know your boundaries and don’t be afraid to get help. Believe me: Failure is a must to get strong, to understand and also to appreciate the good times in this business” When asking her about the changes in the music industry during her 20 years in the business she replies; “The biggest change is the internet that is both good and bad. I have sold over 500 000 physical albums so I have had the chance to know how it feels to make money off of physical sales. But since the internet came, people download music for free. Instead of being negative, I’ve opened up too see great new ways to make a living. Touring is a big income for me and branding. I have also worked hard on becoming a better Dj since that is also my passion.” When it comes to the future she says; “No goals are too high or impossible for me. I believe I can do anything I want to, as long as I work hard enough to reach them. The past does not equal the future - stay present and make sure you control your life!”
