:00:12. > :00:19.I am in Maida Vale studios rehearsing for my first ever
:00:20. > :00:23.late-night prom. With the Guy Barker Orchestra and my three backing
:00:24. > :00:27.vocalists and the Urban Voices Collective. I have never been to the
:00:28. > :00:31.Proms before. Have been harping on about doing it for a long time and
:00:32. > :00:37.this is for public the single most expensive gig I have ever done. But
:00:38. > :00:40.I think it is really worth it. She gives me pretty much free reign
:00:41. > :00:45.because we have known each other for long enough now that we trust each
:00:46. > :00:50.other. Because we are both naturally very passionate people, and love the
:00:51. > :00:55.performance, it is easy for me to get swallowed in to a contemporary
:00:56. > :00:59.pop world. And it is easy for him to get swallowed into a more rigid
:01:00. > :01:04.approach to music. I think he was one of the people who sought the way
:01:05. > :01:08.that we could bring those two worlds together. Sometimes I am known for
:01:09. > :01:13.sitting on one of their laps while I am singing, or jumping on the piano.
:01:14. > :01:20.Not many people who do his job would be open to that or enjoy it or see
:01:21. > :01:25.it as something great. Eight bars, and then I'd start going, come on!
:01:26. > :01:30.Paloma does not read music but she knows what she wants when she hears
:01:31. > :01:35.it in her head. There have been occasions where she has said, the
:01:36. > :01:40.violins need to do this, and then she sang what they were to play. The
:01:41. > :01:43.violinists and other musicians are adding some much to my internal
:01:44. > :01:48.world. When you write songs, you going to a personal place. Every
:01:49. > :01:53.sound is physically represented, which adds so much weight to every
:01:54. > :01:58.single nuance of each song. And when I'd hear it all, and what has been
:01:59. > :02:09.added by those people, I feel majorly unworthy. I'll also think
:02:10. > :02:20.that it is a real-life thing for me. If this is it, I can die happy. We
:02:21. > :02:24.are here, backstage at the Royal Albert Docks for the Proms. I am in
:02:25. > :02:26.with Guy Barker and we are about to go on. That was yesterday and this
:02:27. > :02:28.is today. Go on,
