Pixie Lott has opened up about how life has changed for her after releasing new music for the first time in 10 years.
The singer, 33, found fame at 18-years-old when her debut single Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh) went to number one in 2009ย
but insisted she isnโt worried about chart success anymore.ย
The award winning artist revealed she is instead focused on touring with her son Albert,ย
who she welcomed last year with husband Oliver Cheshire and just enjoying the album release.ย
Speaking exclusively to MailOnline about her new single, Somebodyโs Daughter,
ย Pixie explained how she has taken โfive yearsโ perfecting her writing and sound and has not followed any โtrendsโ.
She said: โPart of the reason for making this kind of album was with live shows in mind, like real band hammering out. Performing live is my most favourite thing, I love writing, I love being in the studio, but performing live is my number one.โ
She continued: โTo tour this album is definitely on the agenda. I think because this album comes out in September, the tour will probably be next year. But Iโve got my first headline show that Iโve done in years on July 11.ย ย
โI think people probably think itโs really rock and roll on tour, Iโm sure it is for a lot of bands, but I was always that, even as an 18-year-old, backstage voice resting with a honey and lemon like not talking and warming up. It was not really rock and roll until like the last show of the tour.
Yet she insisted now is the right time for her comeback, as she reasoned: โI feel like the timing is perfect. The main thing is that I get to experience this whole new era with my little baby, Bertie.ย
โIโm going to bring him along to as many experiences and adventures as possible. Heโs already got his little ear defenders so he can come to the show and Iโm happy I get to share it with him this time.โ
Pixie went onto admit she is still โlearning the ropesโ of the music industry as it has โchanged so muchโ since she last released an album.
She noted that artists are no longer โquite as focused on chart positionsโ and put their attentions more on releasing singles quickly.ย
She said: โIt feels crazy that itโs been 10 years because I just donโt know how thatโs happened like I have done lots of different things throughout the 10 years but I never meant for it to be that long to release an album.ย
โI feel the music industry has changed so much though and I feel like Iโm still kind of learning the ropes because my brain is still on how it was before.
โNow people arenโt really bothered about chart positions anymore and back in the day it was always like, โweโre going to promote it and then focus on that release week and then go for that chart positionโ and now people are not talking about that at all.
โItโs all changed as well in the sense that people are releasing songs all the time. Itโs very fast-paced and this album is actually the complete opposite of that.โย
Pixie explained she has been working on her album for โfive yearsโ and has avoided โtrendsโ so her music wouldnโt date.ย
She revealed that this time around she worked with a small group who she โtrustedโ rather than before when she was put with โdifferent producers and writers every single dayโ and never had the chance to build a relationship to write openly.
The mother-of-one said she is โpleasedโ she has โgone the complete oppositeโ with her writing process to how the music industry is now.
She explained: โIt has been five years in the making, longer than I thought but luckily because it was this style of timeless music, it hopefully can kind of come out at any point.ย
โIf it was more of a trend led thing now it would definitely have dated five years later but itโs been more of an album process of just doing attention to detail and writing these songs, going back to them, changing the lyric and really perfecting it and going in.ย
โIโve really taken time over it which is a very contrast in todayโs kind of music business, but hey thatโs just how I wanted it to be.
โIt started out as like a passion project I was doing on the side just for me and then I was like why am I doing it on the side I should just be focusing on it. So I took a bit of a risk and did it on my own.ย
โIt was a small group of people I worked with over that five years. We really delved into other sides of me, the deeper sides that Iโve never written about before.
โI felt like I built up that trust where you can go to those places. I absolutely loved doing it so we kind of cover all different subject matters so it will be about love, family, nostalgia, mental health an a wide range of subject matters
โBefore when I was making albums I was working with completely different producers and writers every single day.โย
Earlier this year Pixie confirmed her sonโs adorable name and gender after keeping it tightly under wraps.
She shared a snap and announced that they called their baby boy Albert Charles Cheshire.
She wrote: โAlbert Charles Cheshire. It has already been the most amazing time of our lives with you little Bertie and we feel so incredibly lucky you chose us to be your m and d xx.โ
Pixie looked effortlessly glamorous in a pink collared mini dress, which she styled with silver pumps and a faux-fur lined blue jacket.
She sweetly cradled her baby boy, who was wrapped up in a blue blanket and knitted hat, as model Oliver planted a kiss on her cheek outside the church.
