Has it been a conscious effort to make more commercially sounding tracks?<\/strong><\/p>\nI just want to make what I want, when I feel I like it, I guess that\u2019s the benefit I have with being Independent. I\u2019ve got loads of different styles & moods, now is just the time to showcase it. I think people tried to pigeon hole me because I made \u201cBlack Boys\u201d, like I should always be making that type of song but in reality that\u2019s one side to me, there\u2019s loads of others.<\/p>\n
What can we expect from the album? Any exciting collaborations?<\/strong><\/p>\nI\u2019ve always got good features and some sick producers on my projects because we aim for quality. Some established names will definitely be on there though but I also regularly work with emerging talent so it\u2019s not a bandwagon kind of thing. Dope music is dope music; talent is talent, the names only matter when it comes to marketing in my opinion. Jareth wasn\u2019t a household name before These Are The Songs or Bring the Lights Down but they\u2019re both bangers cos she\u2019s a sick singer songwriter, so she goes on the track and in the video.<\/p>\n
Do you feel that there\u2019s a slight expectation of a young creative coming from the BRIT school? Did you ever feel the pressure to be a success story?<\/strong><\/p>\nMaybe but I didn\u2019t think that when I was there. I just wanted somewhere that would allow me to express myself creatively with like-minded teenagers and BRIT was the perfect place. I had my best educational experiences at BRIT.<\/p>\n
