“It’s a big leap from where I left off last time and it definitely shocked people when they heard the new sound and saw the new image,” she says. “It was very personal; I couldn’t think so much about pleasing other people.
“I was in a place where all I wanted to do was make myself happy. This was a time when all eyes were on me, and people really wanted to hear what I had to say.
“I couldn’t just give them ordinary pop songs – I had to give them depth and a look into who I am and what was going through my head.”
“It’s my mantra,” she explains. “It says it’s OK to make mistakes, just don’t make them twice.”
“Australia and New Zealand was my favourite, favourite leg of my last headline tour – it was awesome – so we’re definitely coming back,” she says.
“Coming from Barbados, I think in terms of culture, we’re very similar. But the tour is going to be massive in its overall look and feel, and the costumes are really cool.”
