I lived wherever my parents felt like making music, which had its ups and downs - I've had to move schools, but I've also seen a lot of amazing places and been on tour with my parents.
I have, like, 'Finders Keepers' fever now! Sometimes I go in the studio, and I'm like, 'That worked so well, and I wrote it in 45 minutes, so if I try wearing the same outfit and playing on the same piano, it'll happen again.'
I don't actually get that many DMs. I tell myself that it's because guys might be intimidated, but I'm not that sure.
I want to be known for my music, and that takes time.
When I was younger, I would listen to Lauryn Hill, Destiny's Child, Justin Timberlake, Aaliyah: lots of '90s R&B.
I am very much married to the job.
I feel so blessed that I grew up in the age of the independent woman, the survivor. I had Destiny's Child telling me I didn't need a man to feel good about myself, and I want to carry on that message.
I remember trying so hard to get into Bon Iver. I'd lie in bed listening with my eyes screwed up, like, 'This is just depressing me.'
Growing up, I was confused about my identity: I felt like I wasn't black enough to be black, but not white enough to be white.
I've always been sure of my vision, but I've been in meetings where men have been talking about me like I'm not there... I've been told I should be a certain way, and I wondered if that would have been the case if I was a man.
Coming from an R&B background, I was like, 'I'm gonna make slow jams.'
Swedes celebrate Christmas Eve. Every Sunday leading up to Christmas, we light a candle, then make gingerbread and saffron buns.
Being mainstream is fun.
I work hard, and I'm very separate from what my parents do.
I think there's something amazing about British soul.
Youssou N'Dour was really important to me growing up.
I've been working a lot with this girl Kelly Kiara. She's amazing. She's going to be super important for R&B coming out of the U.K.
I am very much my own person and my own artist.
I think people look back at the '90s as a golden era of female empowerment.
I like to spend time alone before I go on stage.
