My brain is in overdrive at the moment. In a good way though. I feel super determined. It feels like the world is so crazy and also in overdrive, in a bad way...and I'm basically trying to observe and switch off from that simultaneously, to focus on where my power actually lies as an artist and as a human.

Been thinking a lot about what I have actual control over, what I don't and what rules are certain, like 2 is 2, certain things just are how they are and can't be changed, but other things are how they are because people say they are how they are. I'm trying to push myself to see out of those boxes and imagine what is possible if we changed some of..."the rules". I think it's time for evolution in my career and my personal life. 2025 feels like the year of audacity. We're gonna see really clearly who the cunts are. But we also have to be audacious in our own lives, find our power, and basically keep our heads above the noise that is flooding our timelines and news feed. I think it's so important to connect to your power and personal life and self right now.

I'm planning my headline show at Mighty Hoopla Festival. I am so honoured to be asked to headline a stage there. They are and have always been so supportive of women in Pop. The festival are putting me on with the London Philharmonic Orchestra, it's such an incredible opportunity for me because I couldn't budget out a show with that many musicians by myself, it's so exciting to be able to play with a full orchestra! I want to curate the funnest set possible, do you guys have any thoughts? What would you love to hear with a full orchestra?I worked on a potential set list last week and keep mulling it over in my head and then I'm like shit what about this song, but what about THIS SONG?! The more records you have the harder it becomes to build out a set list. I am also thinking then about the London show and how to differentiate between the two, I want to bring something different to KOKO, let the show evolve a little bit and play things we haven't played yet like My Bile.

I have a shoot today! About to get my coffee and shower and I head out the door in a couple hours. Got up early so I can have some hours to just sit, I need hours in the morning to be slow. Got lots to mull over. Soooooo excited for my upcoming shows!!! Trying to think outside the box. What is outside the box you think?!??!??!?!?!?!??!?!?!?...Have a beautiful day, thinking of you!

Was coming here to say the same! 😊

I’ve decided to take on way less work I don’t need to since the last week and only one week has made a difference! I couldn’t imagine an orchestral version of Space Odyssey 2001 but a love story is begging for some strings, would love to hear Paris with the orchestra too !

craig burns

hahahah!

I was thinking about some of the stuff mentioned and how our brains can do so much for us, like turning on and off whenever needed to keep us safe and sane from whatever is going on around us and the world. Last night I had the worse allergic attack ever since months at 2.30am so I had to leave my warm bed and get my medicine and try to calm myself down to get back to sleep which I did but 2 hours later (aka now) I had to wake up for work and ohh… I’m sleepy lol and winter is hard we had some snow in the city last week which was crazy that didn’t even happens that often (maybe since 2022 which is not long ago, you know climate change is real) anyway, that was fun times (not really). Regarding the songs for your shows, that’s the hardest thing you can ask for haha it’s true many records makes it hard to choose what to play or not, I was totally going to mention My Bile and also one of my favorites These Feelings, and if I have to turn it back in time (even if now I’m still in the other part of the world) Karaoke Kiss is one of my obsessions it’s just so good and I think To The Music I Belong would sound so good with an orchestra but let’s not forget about You’re So Cool, I’m So Freaky or Early Christmas Present or Pickpocket and ofc previously mentioned Don’t You Want To Share The Guilt? And if you wanna include Agenda or Imperfect (currently tattooed on my arm because duh!) I would die of happiness in the distance Aaaah I can keep mentioning songs and if it was my decision I would request your whole catalog haha I’m funny but every single record represents a special part of my life so being able (me or any other fans) to hear them live it’s such a core memory ā™„ļø love you! Hope some of our suggestions make it to any of the shows!!!

incredible!

i was thinking of you this morning randomly, The journey you’ve been on. its so varied and colourful - you’ve led an unconventional incredible life. Challenges have been real and appreicate how you keep inspiring and fighting and using your voice. I’m ego deathing hard right now, and tapping back into what I know is true of me and releasing whats not. I’m really vibing Always Shining, perhaps its the combo of summer and relationship woes, a powerful song. This and Birds - I’d be baling my eyes out, overcome with emotion and music - probably not the vibe :) . All your music must be so delicious with a full orchestra, what an experience. No help but this is all very cool.

Alana

Harry will be very happy to hear My Bile hahahah

Olly Lewis

Imagine Don’t You Want To Share The Guilt? with an orchestra????

Katrina Maynard

I really love the orchestra playing for you! I think a dramatic rendition of foundations as its the most well known - perhaps if that one you really up the anti with a dramatic violin arrangement it could sound great. Same with Space Odessey 2001 and Mariella
