I love love songs. But I love pop music as well: Girls Aloud, Kylie, the Spice Girls, East 17, Mika.
I am an incurable romantic. I am even in love with the idea of being in love, and hence, I write a lot of love songs.
I love songs that are very autobiographical.
After my mother passed away, I felt as though I would never have a relationship as strong as the one that I had had with her. Then, after a lot of ups and downs, I started dating again - but I realised pretty quickly that I was never going to write cheesy love songs.
I love songs, and I love to tell stories, and so a lot of times, if you really want a good story, you got to flip the radio dial over to country.
I think love songs are universal. It doesn't mean a particular kind of music. It can be happy, sad or even celebratory. Having a radio station dedicated to love songs make sense.
