Alesha chats to I Like Music


But I prefer to do the lyrics first, because I like to base it around that. So with Knock Down, as you hear that track, the first verse, chorus and second verse is exactly how I freestyled it down the dictaphone. I was just was vibing down the track and that's how I vibed it. And the lyrics are exactly what came out there and then, because when you capture a magic you capture a truth almost. And the more you over-think it and revisit it, you lose that original magic that you found. I just like to work of vibes, what hits me instantly. If something's too much of an effort, it's probably not right. The one that come quickest and flow the best are generally the ones that end up being the best songs.

ILM: Yeah, they've got that natural feel and flow.

ALESHA: Yeah, exactly.

ILM: It's great that you still rap as well as sing on the album, have you picked up any tips about your vocal skills from any of the dudes you've met along the way? Like LL Cool J, Pharrell…
