"I feel the EP's quite direct - I’m not that good at hiding how I feel which is why a lot of my songs are quite literal,’" she says.
"There’s sarcastic lyricism, vulnerability, frankness and romance all across this EP. It’s not so much different from my previous music, more of a personal insight to who I am."
Tell us three things about yourself…
I’m a spicy ramen enthusiast.
A diehard Liverpool FC fan and I had a cat when I was growing up called Morientes.
I wrote my first song at 10 years old about God because the only guy I knew who could play the guitar was religious. I had to keep him interested in playing for me…
