playing-dress-up people grace
I always liked how people like Grace Jones and Annie Lennox pushed it with the videos. I'm not the most stylish person at all, but there's something about playing dress-up for the day and playing the role of a singer.
cute brother gay
I feel like I've got far more gay fans in America... Maybe they caught wind that I have a cute Jewish brother who's gay.
doors waiting want
American fans want to meet you, and they wait for that autograph by the stage door. In the UK, it doesn't really happen that much.
grandfather cry made
My grandfather was a Russian-Jewish immigrant who lived in Northern Ireland and apparently when he sang in the synagogue he made everyone cry.
passion winning always-trying
If you're from South London you feel like you're always trying to win people over, so perhaps that underdog passion comes through.
ice-cream comfort ice
Ice cream is my comfort food.
singers
There are so many great singers out there.
acid good-things burping
I can't eat before I go onstage because I've learnt that burping on stage isn't a good thing. It's all about acid reflux.
shelves shelf-life
Good music shouldn't have a shelf life.
song female vocal
A female vocal can lift a song.
dream people guilt
Meanwhile, I get to make an album. I feel like I've been very lucky. There is a guilt when I see people I know who work really hard, then I'm like, "Oh, I've got to do an interview today." I'm so appreciative of all of this, but it does feel like the bubble will burst at some point and it will all have been a dream.
mean love-is your-side
For me 'You & I Forever' is celebrating the person you love being by your side. This is what it means to others
running couple fun
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
airplane people annoying
I've become one of those annoying people who brings their own food on to planes.
