Wolf: 'I don't feel like I belong in pop'

Patrick Wolf has admitted that he does not feel like he belongs in the world of pop.

The singer-songwriter suggested to The Observer that some aspects of the music industry feel very macho.

Wolf explained: "There's a kind of reverse sexism these days, where the biggest male popstars are very booted-and-suited blokes.

"A man has to be seen as being in control, paying for everything; it's aspirational to have a lot of money and get all the girls."

Wolf also said: "The thing is, I really don't feel I belong in pop music."

Of the sound of his upcoming album Lupercalia, which is released on May 30, he added: "I wanted nothing to feel artificial on this album at all. I wanted to document my joy as naturally as possible... It was time to grow up and change."
