00:00What's my next album going to be based on?
00:02Divorce, babe. Divorce.
00:03Would you like to hear a little snippet
00:06of what I'm singing on that Easy On Me song?
00:09Erm...
00:11Might get in trouble for playing it, but...
00:13But I can't bring myself
00:16To swim when I am drowning
00:26When I was little, I used to speak to myself in the mirror,
00:29holding a hairspray can,
00:31thinking, yeah, thanks for this bit of work, guys.
00:43I used to see tributes in my room every Saturday.
00:45Every Saturday.
00:46Like, the whole two albums.
00:47I had so much stamina when I was little, it was amazing.

01:13Hello!
01:22I'm a soul singer, and all my songs are about heartbroken love.
01:26Cos I don't like writing songs when I'm happy,
01:29cos I'd rather be out being happy.
01:41Dude, I just keep on chasing pavement
01:47Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh
02:00Never mind, I'll find someone like you
02:06I wish nothing but the best on you
02:11I don't really realise it, really, but it's phenomenal.
02:13You know, the success of this album and where it's gone
02:16and where it's taken me is just amazing.

02:43I'm raising him to respect women, and he knows I'm a powerful force.
02:47He feels it just at home,
02:49let alone when he comes to work with me and he comes everywhere.

03:03It was such an honour to be involved with it,
03:06and I think Sam Mendes is wonderful, and the script was really exciting.
03:09You know, normally I write about, like, my misery,
03:12and this time I wrote a song according to someone's script,
03:15so that was very exciting and challenging, but very great.

03:44I felt the pressure writing 25 very, very much.
03:47I actually started when I was writing it with the lyric,
03:50so I'm sure you can imagine the mood that I was in
03:53when I was writing that.
03:55I was miserable.
