The singer also opened up about her break from the music industry to Rolling Stone, revealing ‘tricky’ situations had left her feeling ‘put off’ bringing out new songs. She said: “Well, I want to be back as Alesha Dixon the artist. I’ve been recording throughout the years, but hadn’t felt quite ready to release anything for a multitude of reasons. One of them being the fact that I’m an independent artist now and it’s very expensive to put out music, and the industry is very tricky. The business aspect of it is what has put me off going down that road again.”

She also explained more about the ‘games’ being played, revealing the pressure to compete with other artists to dominate the charts. She explained: “I just haven’t got time to play the music industry games and, you know, trying to compete for chart positions with artists that are signed to major labels. “The whole thing puts me off, but the love and the desire of making music has never faded. What made me change my mind this time around was feeling like I’d written a song where it sort of just aligned with how I was feeling. It just felt more authentic to me, and I felt more confident to put it out. There’s also just that feeling of life is too short. I just wanted to feel like I could put something out into the world, regardless of the industry, regardless of the expectations, the business, the money.”Story SavedYou can find this story in My Bookmarks.Or by navigating to the user icon in the top right.Follow OK!
