Episode 5: Lolly

Mega Music Memories

I was delighted to interview Anna Kumble - better known as Lolly - in the latest episode of the podcast.
Lolly exploded onto the UK pop music scene in 1999 with three consecutive top 10 singles, including the smash hit Mickey, which peaked at number four in the charts.
A second album and two more top 20 hits followed in 2000 before Anna decided to move on from Lolly to pursue a successful TV presenting career as well as going back to her roots in the theatre and starting a family.
A hugely intensive and highly successful two-year period saw Lolly rack up an incredible five appearances on Top Of The Pops as her refreshing new sound of pure, unabashed pop music quickly secured a loyal and adoring fanbase.
Anna tells us about the original concept of Lolly, how it felt at the height of her success and gives us an insight into what went on behind the scenes.
She also talks us through what she's been up to since - including some new tracks - and tells us about a successful fan-led campaign to get Lolly's music onto digital streaming platforms.
