What is there to look forward to on your album?
Right now the upcoming album is just really fun, anthemic, energetic straight dance pop. (Dramatic pause) To the next level!
Well that is one of the best types of pop. Did you handpick your collaborators or did they come to you?
Actually my friend [CLANG] will.i.am got in the studio and then we put our friend Antony Preston with us, and we kinda just hid away for a month and did this album really fast. I was going away for X Factor and I didn’t want anything to steal my attention. So there’s Afrojack, a bunch of awesome great people – Sandy Vee, obviously… For the most part it’s, like I said, anthemic, energetic dance anthems, and I’ve got a couple of mid-tempos which are more heartbreak songs that I’ve written with Toby Gad, which is amazing.
Is there any Sting on this album?
Sting? No. He’s not. He was on the last album.
If you were to write a popstar rulebook, what would be Rule One?
Be fearless and fierce.
Finally, how good is Lewis [Hamilton's debut] album, out of ten?
Well, I’m his girlfriend and I support him so I’m going to give him a ten. He’s fearless and courageous enough to do music that he loves, and he’s writing, so ten out of ten for that.
The mere existence of this album is fascinating. It’s hard to imagine what on earth it might sound like.
I think people will be pleasantly surprised…
Let's take a few minutes to honour the single-that-never-was:
Hearing her define her album as "straight dance pop to the next level" has put a gigantic smile on my face, and I might start stanning for her. She knows what works, and isn't messing around (unlike a certain fave of mine, and others).
She has the talent and personality to pull off this album. So yes, here for it.

LOL! @ her staying on calling it a dance album yet they ask about Sting.. it's like they were lost on what album she was trying to put out.
Sting does dance-tinged songs, plus she said she's doing some mid-tempo tracks. The interviewer is referring to this type of sound, not WGWG-type ones.
