I'm not telling anybody that yet! Ha ha ha!You said in an interview earlier this class that you weren't afraid to take risks on the album - what risks did you end up taking? Because I descend from such an urban background, dance is a risk. I tried that with "When Love Takes Over" and at the end of that I said 'David, let's try this again and see what happens_' And then I got Commander and later that I thought 'Well maybe I should try it with a different producer_' So I tested it with Jonas, and I tested it with Jim and I tested it with The Souldiggaz, who actually fused dance and R&B together, as good as Jim Jonsin and it works. And I thought 'Well, maybe I'm onto something here'. People might have thought I was crazy, but it's OK, I'm not letting go of my urban roots by any means, I only need to see what happens.Was there anything in detail that inspired this variety of musical image for you? An event perhaps, a soul or a point? I was inspired by living in the confederacy of France partying and exit out every other night and hearing to dance music. Watching other people round me and their interactions when the strain comes on and into a mix the feel like they're gonna just be higher, then the culmination of the strain comes in with another part, and so they're like_ ARRRRGGGG! It's like an explosion and it's so astonishing and I was like, 'I gotta try this!'Can you talk me through some of the tracks on the album you haven't released as singles? Of course! There's one that I did called "On & On (The Sound)" which is my favourite of the album, and the cause why I know it is the way that it came around in the studio with Brian Kennedy. It was simply amazing the way the song kind of glued itself together in a creative environment. When I worked with Rico Love on "Take Everything", we simply let the music take over. We were in Miami, and having fun, and it was great. When Ne-Yo sent me this song called "Heaven & Earth"_ it made me cry! And I had a difficult time trying to kick it out! Like [feigns crying] 'This call is leaving to be so beautiful_'Collaborated with a lot of different people on this album - any artists out there you're still really great to go with? Kanye [West]_ I would know to go with Kanye. I'm trying to get in touch with him now. Gosh, definitely, I know him. He's incredibly talented, very witty, intelligent - I know that near him as an artist, and he's very honest!You sound smitten_ I know that, I know that near him is that he is so honest, he doesn't give back for anybody. He gets criticised for it, but everything that we're thinking, he's going to say. Same as Simon [Cowell]_I love Simon. Do you always feeling a force to reach the same huge record sales successes that you did in Destiny's Child? I guess that each album and everyone that we do we get to let it the place to grow. It's like me asking someone to make the same steps as they did yesterday as they did today. I don't believe that's just because they don't love what the possibilities are. It's crucial to make each album its own living space. That's fair_What do you remember of Michelle Williams taking part in this year's Strictly Come Dancing? I'm excited for her. It's so crazy because I finally got a fortune to see her - we hung out last night, and she was telling me around the competition, and she was saying how the judges are, how different rehearsals are, compared to what_ I think even Destiny's ever did. We never studied fox trots and waltzes and things like that, you love what I mean? Who does that unless you truly need to do something similar that? For me, I really wouldn't need to do something similar that until I had a husband.Ha ha ha, why is that? Well only because it's something that you could go and do together. My grandparents did that. They waited until late in their marriage before they went to watch fox trot and that was a section of their growing up. My nan would actually waltz with us about the home when we were kids. We were like, 'Grandma, please stop_' you love what I think? But they learnt it together. For me, I would need to read something similar that with a partner_because it's sexy. So I told her, 'I really oblige you because I would be so intimidated. Absolutely intimidated.' I'd rather learn on my own. I don't require any one judging what I do. I'm really proud of her though, I don't recognize how she learned a new dance in 4 days. She's never yet seen it before. Give my sister some credit! What are your top style tips for girls out there? Be comfortable with what you make on. If you get a couple of place that hurt, don't bear them. The ugliest guess that I think I've seen is a woman walk like her feet hurt. It's awful, so make sure your shoes fit. And never let the outfit wear you - you should be wearing that outfit. And accessorise_What do you suppose your biggest fashion faux pas has been? When I allowed someone to lecture me into wearing a crop that I wasn't comfortable in. I felt awkward the all night, and it wore me - I didn't wear it. It was hideous. Some people view it was cool, but I felt uncomfortable in it. And people can ever tell.Are there any hair and beauty tips that have been passed down to you from your mum or grandmother that you still swear by? Yes! Completely. I oil my fingertips. I get a nice Moroccan oil in my toiletry bag, and I always tie my hair up in a silk scarf every night - that's my hair trick. My case and skin trick is to moisturise well in the winter time, because the weather eats up your struggle and I never go to rest with make up on. Someone told me it ages you ten years.What are your must have items in your make-up bag? My mascara by Elaina, who's a champion of mine who just made her own mascara which I can't think how well it is, it's amazing. My concealer by M.A.C, the one in the tube? It's fantastic. And rosebud lip salve, which is marvellous because you can use it on your lids and lips.Are there any hair or make-up looks that you'd love to try but hasn't so far? I saw someone the former day with yellow on their eyelids, and it looked so fresh. But I thought if I did that I'd feel like a clown. So I went and I bought some yellow eyeshadow from M.A.C and I noticed that when you mix it with water it works better. So I tested it, and I looked like Big Bird. I will never do that again. I just cut my hair, I truly know it shorter. I would never go blonde. I'd look crazy. Probably like a washed-up whore. I would feel very very cheap, it doesn't work for me.Destiny's Child - dead as a do-do or room for reunion? We don't speak around it among each other. We speak about family, we talking about building families, we talk about_but we simply don't talk about that. It's simply not the subject of our conversation.
