Dance music has pushed its way into the mainstream. Which is good for me.

I had just finished a run of shows in the States and went to NY to work with BenZel for a couple weeks, mainly as a different focus to touring. I didn't have any expectations or pressures with what would come out of those two weeks, and think 'Tough Love' sums this up. It was me experimenting with my voice and having fun with it. It just felt right and kind of dictated the route of the next album, much like 'Devotion' did on my first album

I dress in a sophisticated and classy way - I always dress in a way I know my mother wouldn't be embarrassed to see.

I went to university and studied English literature, and I forgot about music. I was gonna be a journalist. But then I decided to try and be a backing singer, and my mum was like, "Go for it." If that didn't work, I was gonna go to law school. I was just being boringly sensible; trying to be a singer felt a bit indulgent.

I like how strong Sade is and how she doesn't give away too much.

I'm not a complicated person.

I've become one of those annoying people who brings their own food on to planes.
