Alesha chats to I Like Music
ILM: You co-wrote most of the songs on the album, 10 out of 12. How was that and can you describe the Alesha songwriting process?
ALESHA: OK, so Lipstick, I had the backing track there and I just jammed with it, and I just vibed it and it came quite naturally. Then with other tracks I think about and I'm more thoughtful with. But I don't really have a set formula. Sometimes I write on my guitar at home, because I know all the basic chords and I can write great songs just at home like that.
I write well with people, I just don't really have a set formula, but sometimes the melody does come first. It depends who you work with. Some producers like you to come up with the melody and nail that, and then worry about the lyrics secondly.
