The singer dislikes a particular James Blunt megahit and feels empowered by Chaka Khan.

She believes that an Australian bard wrote the best song of all time.

Her mother was a huge fan of Nina Simone but had dyspraxia.

Despite this, she often hosted dinner parties and made people dance, and the singer has a vivid memory of her mother clapping out of time to Simone’s song 'Baltimore.

' She fondly remembers buying 'Especially for You' by Jason Donovan and Kylie Minogue on cassette from Woolworths in Stoke Newington with her piggy bank savings.

She loves 'I Will Always Love You' by Whitney Houston and enjoys karaoke, even though people often hesitate to join her because she’s a singer.

However, she doesn’t sing well at karaoke, which she finds liberating as it allows her to release power and emotion without the pressure to perform perfectly.

Every road trip she took as a child featured Tracy Chapman’s self-titled first album, especially the song 'Fast Car,' on repeat in the cassette player.

She knows every word of every song on that album.

Growing up in Hackney, there’s a specific dance everyone does when 'Candy' by Cameo plays, which only Londoners understand.

At parties, she can always spot the Londoners by this dance, while everyone else looks confused.

She recalls Susan Boyle singing 'Wild Horses' by the Rolling Stones, noting how vulnerable and nervous Boyle sounded, which she found beautiful.

She thinks 'You’re Beautiful' by James Blunt is terrible and undeserving of its accolades, criticizing everyone involved in its creation for being overly proud.

In contrast, she believes 'Into My Arms' by Nick Cave is the greatest song ever written, as it resonates differently at various life stages and was particularly profound for her after having her first baby.

She mentions a dreadful song her kids listen to on Spotify called 'I’m a Banana' by Onision, which, despite its awfulness, gets everyone up and ready quickly.

Finally, she loves 'I’m Every Woman' by Chaka Khan for its empowering message of sisterhood and unity.
