But the South Londoner has made the leap with much acclaim. Her debut album Devotion, out now in the States, was nominated for a Mercury Prize in the UK in 2012. The album bears comparisons to Adele and Sade but honestly, as she explains to us today, she is still learning her craft as writer. We’ll hear the story behind her biggest song “Wildest Moments”- it was based on a feud with a girlfriend at a wedding.
