“After the success of my debut album I went through a period of change which was both exciting and unsettling. As always, I turned to my record collection to help make sense of it all. But there was no one record that really seemed to express what I was feeling. Nothing seemed to capture my emotions at that time. So I started writing again and I made the record that I needed to hear.”

The wait is over - the follow up to “Heaven” is here. And if that remarkably assured debut showed a 24 year old struggling to make sense of her world, then the new album “Freedom” (out December 2nd) is the sound of a woman finding that, having waited so long to get on the ladder, she was no longer interested in dealing with the snakes. It’s the sound of an artist who makes music for the right reasons – because she has something to say.
