And as the album is being put together it's getting incredibly exciting because I know all the great songs which no-one has heard yet and just know they are going to love them.' 'Throughout the making of the album, I've tried to create the songs I love to listen to. When I started out I wanted to create the album that I would look back on in years to come and feel proud, I wanted to put absolutely everything in to make the best album I possibly could. I felt that nothing musically should be out of my grasp and to build (over 3 years!) the best collection of songs, the best production, the best album and the best experience I possibly could. I wanted to create the album I would want to listen to again and again and not necessarily the album that was easy to create.'
