The whole concept of it is down to the director and the choreographer. They came up with all of that. I think they chose where it would be filmed as well. I had no input apart from being in it, but I absolutely loved it. I’d actually rather not have been in it because I thought the dancing was gorgeous. I loved the dancers. I thought they were just great. It was beautiful to watch them dance in the hall. I thought it was fantastic. I think they could have just had the dancers, personally, but they wanted me in it, so I’m in it.

I’d love to know about the concept behind the animation.

Releases

From her arrival in Birmingham from the Caribbean island of St Kitts, to the release of her self-titled breakthrough album in 1976 and all the years since, she has remained steadfast in her independence.

Although her debut was release in 1972, her breakthrough came four years later with her self-titled album, which contained the hit Love & Affection. I was looking at different places. Somebody suggested one place. I looked at it and I thought it’s alright but it actually looks quite cold. I just looked around for something that I thought was really atmospheric and I found Asylum Chapel. I thought that’s really good because it’s sort of run-down, but it’s run down in the best possible way. It’s got an incredible atmosphere. In a video interview, you said how “Already There” was a way of talking about “love at first sight” in another way. I love the line “While you were falling in love, I was already there”. It’s so on point. It does have a lot of value. The value is that I've lasted this long,” she offers with a warm yet steely laugh. Her musical tastes have always extended beyond those heard on her records – she tells me her recent listening has included the American rappers Wiz Khalifa and Desiigner.No, because I needed us to see each other at some point and not just the day we were doing it. That was quite important that we could see each other and kind of socialize a bit, if you like, and chat in between things. Of course the first day all the cameras were coming in and the rigging was going up and the lighting was getting done, so it was quite a confusing first day with lots of stuff going on. Although we were playing, it was interrupted all the time. The third day, we just did the show. It was great. This is a great live album. Live At Asylum Chapel is a great example of what can be done with live albums and how they can be a wonderful history of an artist. She is smart to include new and old songs, hits as well as deep album cuts. It is a very slight glimpse into an artist who has released 20 studio albums and four live albums. This is a great overview of her career and might push the listener to dig into her catalogue and discover this truly talented individual.
