There are a couple, yeah. I’ll leave it to the listener to work out which ones. The whole album is quite intense, as I’ve revealed myself in a way I’d never have had the confidence to do, even 10 years ago. I love singing these songs, but there’s one that I might never be able to get through live.
Because we’re crazy, Stephen and I wanted to do Cuban versions of old Altered Images songs, which became Clara Libre. That was a lot of work, and we ran out of time to finish some of the songs intended for this album. Also, Stephen and I run two restaurants locally in North London and we open a third in Soho next month. When our restaurants re-open...
It’s the only thing we don’t fight about! We have a shorthand when it comes to writing songs, and I became obsessed with writing for this album. I couldn’t stop – it was almost a Red Shoesmoment. It drove Stephen nuts, it drove my daughter nuts, it drove Robert and Bernard nuts. I kept thinking: ‘I have to make this work.’ It was all in there, wait...
We spoke about it, but it felt we were rushing it a bit with the label deadline approaching. Neither of us wanted that. Johnny was massively busy with Texas’ album Hicoming out, so we decided: ‘Let’s look at this again.’ I’ve got a two-album deal, and I really hope we can do something for the next one.
I love Johnny and Sharleen (Spiteri), and it’s been incredibly special when they’ve asked me on stage a couple of times. For ‘Look What You’ve Done’, I just went to Johnny’s house and sang it a few times. I love getting the chance to work at places like Abbey Road, but it doesn’t always have to be like that, and I love the intimacy of being in a ro...
I got asked to do a show with Dame Denise Mina, where I looked back at my early career. The producers had uncovered a lot of footage I hadn’t seen. I’d thought it’d just be good fun to look back at that stuff, but it was very emotional and it unsettled me. Back then, I was hiding all my nervousness by being louder than I really am. I felt quite pro...
I had absolutely no life experience, so I had nothing to gauge it against. I was just living it. People always ask why I left the band, and a lot of it was loneliness. At that time, you didn’t have anyone looking after you, so a lot of the time it was just me and the boys. It’s not that I fell out with them, I just got tired of being the only girl ...
I had a big meltdown on tour in America, feeling under so much pressure to deliver. I was questioning myself and I was also being courted by Hollywood producers. I just thought: ‘This is too much.’ I probably just needed a good holiday but, when you’re young, everything is so black-and-white. Altered Images were held to account a lot. We put out th...
I used to wonder that, but I learned in lockdown that I’m obsessed with performing. It can’t all be luck that I’ve kept this career going all this time. I work really hard behind the scenes and I’m very hands-on with everything. I don’t know what that says about me, it’s just who I am. I had that work ethic from my parents, and I absolutely view th...
So lovely. What strikes me now about the bands we supported in our early days – The Banshees, U2, Simple Minds– is their kindness and support towards us. It let me get on stage and show off. It was funny and crazy, but we were looked after by those bands too. They all seemed so much older than us and they seemed like they knew what they were doing,...
