There is a real evolution that has happened musically.

She manages to combine European lines with Australian style and that's what makes her so exciting. It's great to be here and see her success.

It is really positive because it is musically positive, lyrically interesting and probably a side of me people haven't yet seen.

We kind of didn't really need the surprise in between promoting the record and doing all of that.

I have learnt a little more about living in the moment and taking life more as it is supposed to be, just living and seeing where life goes.
