She says her forthcoming album is "a social observation record".

"I was adamant that I wouldn’t write about love. I wanted to look outside of myself.

"I’m coming at politics from the perspective of the common man or woman, observing why people are suffering.

"Each song on the record is about a different pocket of the socio-political world that I’ve been delving into.

"On previous albums I’ve been more concerned with the past, but now I’m looking forward because of motherhood and wanting to change things for a better future. It’s a marriage of old and new.”

Tickets for the live tour will go on sale at 9am on Friday, September 29, from the booking hotline number 0844 493 6666 or in person from the Arena box office.
