Alesha chats to I Like Music


ALESHA: Well Pharrell did. He said I should go and purchase the Slick Rick album. Slick Rick is an old school rapper. Because he felt with my accent and Slick Rick's vocal styles, he thought that would be really unique and different, so that was quite helpful and I did go out and purchase the album and had a listen.

And it's quite a basic way of going back to rapping, but I think Pharrell's point was because the British accent is so distinct, to hear that style done with a British accent would just be very interesting.

So yeah, I definitely took on board his comments and went and bought the album.

ILM: What was it like working with Pharell in the She Wants To Move video and how did that come about? I saw it for the first time and was like, 'There's Alesha! Wow!'

ALESHA: [laughs] Brilliant, absolutely brilliant! I had a wonderful time. I was very fortunate to work with High Hat, who's Missy Elliot's choreographer, and that was an honour, and then I also got to work with Dave Myers, who's done Janet Jackson videos, Britney Spears videos, and he's an amazing director, so it was just a major experience and honour, and I was just honoured to be asked to do it.
