Lott says she is ready to smash her way back into the charts as she prepares to
debut her brand new single on live TV on Thursday night.
The pop babe – who turns 23 this
Sunday – also says her boyfriend Oliver Cheshire, 25, has made it easy for her
to write and record music about love on her upcoming third album.
‘It’s my first time writing from
the actual experience of being in a relationship. It has really helped,’ the
blonde beauty told Guilty Pleasures in an exclusive chat, adding she has found
writing from the heart easy to do.
‘I can relate to every aspect of
what I’m singing – the good times and the bad times. I love writing about
things that I experience. It makes songs greater,’ she said.
And while Lott certainly has beauty and
music talent in spades, it would seem her model boyfriend only has one of these
two qualities.
‘Oliver can’t sing! He tries. He
thinks he is a bit of a DJ and he loves music, but he’s not really a singer.
We’ve never even done karaoke. Will he be stealing my thunder? No!’ she
laughed.
The singer will be performing her
new single – titled Nasty – on the Brits are Coming on ITV on Thursday night as
the nominees for the 2014 Brit Awards are unveiled.
‘It’s a funky, soulful track that
is very up-tempo and fresh,’ she says of the single – which she also revealed
she had to fight for after it was originally recorded (but ultimately rejected)
by Christina Aguilera, sparking a bidding frenzy among her music
contemporaries.
‘A few other singers had recorded it and
Christina was one of them so everyone wanted this song. When I heard other
singers had done it I thought “I need to get this!” It was a difficult song to
get because there are so many old-school samples on it, like James Brown, that
are hard to clear copyright on. But I got it and now it is my new single.’
