Alesha chats to I Like Music

ILM: Yeah, life's hard enough, you need to be supportive of each other.

ALESHA: Exactly. And I don't like it when women look in magazines and get pleasure out of seeing people looking bad and things like that, it's like, why do you do that? But, do you know why they do it? It's to make themselves feel better and that goes back to that whole security thing. If you're comfortable in your own skin then you can be comfortable and happy for other people, and I think that's where it needs to start from really.

ILM: And that's a good message.

ALESHA: Yeah, it's about self respect and being confident in yourself and in who YOU are, y'know?

ILM: You worked with Anders Bagge, who's done production for Madonna/Jennifer Lopez. What did you learn from him?

ALESHA: Just let go and be crazy, and don't have no fear. I think that happens to artists when you first go into the studio and I used to be like it; you're kind of cautious and you over-think things, and the nicest way to make music is to just be free and let yourself go and that's no fear. And that's what Anders allows you to do, because his personality is so crazy, and he's exciting to be around and it makes you feel excited. So you kind of bounce off the energy of the person you're working with. He's left such a big impression on me, I definitely need to do some more songs with him for my second album, because he's an absolute joy to work with.
