Natalia Kills says she makes a joke out of money and fashion because they're not important.

Natalia Kills has claimed that she feels too much importance is placed on money and image.

The singer, who releases her new album *Perfectionist* in the UK on September 19, has said that some of the best experiences she has had have been when she was penniless.

The star told **Digital Spy** that her new single 'Free', which features Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am, is about a period in her life when she was broke and would "buy a whole outfit for 20 quid" from Portobello market.

She explained: "The song is about how money and style are absolutely unrelated because that was the time where I had the time of my life."

When asked whether the single was released as a reflection of the current economic turmoil, she responded: "It wasn't the reason why I decided to release the single, but I have thought a lot about it since and have realised that it is perfect for the current climate.

"A lot of the time we think finances are immediately linked to experience, opportunities, image and all sorts of important things that can progress us in life. Sometimes they're not. Finances can be completely irrelevant if you allow yourself to feel like things are going well."

She added: "If you allow yourself to feel fabulous, you are fabulous. That's why in the music video I wanted to poke fun at fashion and money because it's all a bit of a joke. We take it so seriously that I just wanted to make fun of it because it's really not the most important thing in the world."

Natalia Kills explains that it was hard to be truthful on her debut album.

Natalia Kills has confessed that she found it hard to be honest when writing material for her debut album.

The singer-songwriter, who releases her debut record *Perfectionist* on September 19, explained that she was inspired by her music idols Alanis Morissette and Kate Bush to write truthfully about her personal experiences.

Kills told **Digital Spy** of her LP: "People are calling it revenge pop. They're calling it kill your ex-boyfriend pop. If you've ever had a broken heart or like shoe shopping, listen to my album!"

She continued: "All the artists I listened to were very autobiographical. I loved listening to Alanis Morissette and Kate Bush when I was growing up because they were talking very literally about their desires and regrets.

"I kind of struggled writing about my life because I'd been through s\*\*t experiences and things that traumatised me - I found it hard."

Kills added: "But then I let go and thought 'f\*\*k it, if you're going to be honest, be honest - you've got to do it 100%'. Music is cheaper than therapy because it allows you to get everything out of your system."

She will release 'Kill My Boyfriend' as the new single from her debut LP.

Natalia Kills has confirmed the name of her new single.

She will release 'Kill My Boyfriend' as the next single to be lifted from her debut album *Perfectionist*.

Kills told **Digital Spy**: "I co-produced 'Kill My Boyfriend' and I'm so excited for everyone to hear it.

"It's one of my favourites because it's so silly and fun. I talk about heartbreak and revenge and how I should have done this and I should have said that."

She added: "But in the end I'm like 'shut up and stop taking yourself so seriously. Just kill him and get it over with and do a little dance!' And that's why I'm so excited for everyone to hear it."

'Kill My Boyfriend' follows Kills's recent single 'Free', which featured Black Eyed Peas rapper will.i.am.

The star recently said that she does not think money and fashion should be the most important values in modern society.

Kills's debut album *Perfectionist* is out now.
