I think we've just started to find our own sound. And we've become more experienced songwriters and musicians. Also a lot has happened to us in our personal lives as well, we've got more to talk about.
It's something we don't like talking about because it's hard enough keeping stuff out of the press as it is. With all the crap that people write as well, it's just misrepresented and tangled.

We are a proper pop band, and it's all our work. We are not a brand created to sell to kids, which makes us different from some of the other s**t out there.
