Alesha Dixon has conquered Britain's entertainment, lifestyle and music industries over the past two decades. āIām not trying to play the game, Iām just doing me, and that feels really cool - thatās where Iām at,ā says Alesha. Principled at this phase in her journey; her charisma, humour and open nature have helped orient her at every juncture, from being one of the most celebrated female MCās, double platinum selling artist and girl group icon, to a TV mainstay and published author. Dixon has traversed many of the shifting cultural landscapes in Britain, āTo still be here, I had to have thick skin.ā
All roads have led back to her heart: the music, as Alesha is ready to return to the stage, 9 years since her last music release. āIāve never stopped recording, itās healing to me to get into the studio,ā she shares. āItās like my little diary.ā With wisdom, introspection, and newer experiences in Jamaica wedded to her sphere of influence, her new single āRansomā is a carefully crafted ancestral embrace. Produced by Supa Dups and sampling Ini Kamozeās legendary āHere Comes the Hotstepperā, āRansomā forms part of a bonafide leap for Alesha Dixon into what moves her the most. āI donāt feel sane without music.
