I have been co-writing with my guitarist, husband and all-round good lad Nick Atkinson, since we were 16! Whenever we write together, in our little flat in London, it’s because we feel compelled to write.
We talk for hours about something that’s bothering us and when we can’t think of a solution, we start writing. It’s definitely a form of therapy for the both of us, and aside from sometimes having artistic differences (and without trying to sound cheesy), we bring the best out in each other.
I think the reason we are both still in this business is because we can remind each other of how far we have come to get to this point. Remembering those miniature wins, and how we have evolved into better writers and musicians, can make the difference when you’re stuck in limbo.
We were both there when we were having a shit day and wrote that song in our front room, and both there when we performed that same song live on national radio. Whenever we record or perform live, we both think of the history of each song, and then we play it like we did when we first wrote it. With all the raw emotion we felt at the time.
I love watching musicians and singers relinquish their inhibitions and just let a song flow through them, as if there body is a vessel for something much more important. Whenever I sing, I try to do the very same; because I know how good it feels to watch someone let go.
