Stormzy carried out his hit ‘Crown’, new observe ‘Give It To The Water’, and his traditional cowl was ‘Get Right here’ by Oleta Adams.
On Glastonbury:
It was the best second of my life. […] That’s a extremely ‘Thank God’ second from me, I don’t take that evenly. That’s like an precise ‘I’ve lived my dream’ [moment] and I’m nonetheless alive and I’ve nonetheless received my profession forward of me and I thank God for that.
On the artist he’d work with if he had a time machine:
Whitney Houston. Straightforward! To be truthful, I say that – I’ve received this factor as effectively the place I can admire artists and generally I do know its not your home to make music with them. In a dream world, it’s like ‘That artist, and that artist’ nevertheless it doesn’t at all times work like that. So perhaps I don’t work with Whitney. Perhaps we’d get within the studio and make the worst track ever. Perhaps I simply admire her. However the concept of being on a track together with her and making an attractive document is a dream come true.
On his writing rituals:
I write on my canine stroll within the morning. […]And within the studio, lately I simply kick everybody out the room. I inform everybody ‘get out the room’ and I simply fiddle round with concepts. I don’t haven’t any eccentric methods to write down. I simply take it in my stride. I’m additionally not an intensive author. I’m not like ‘I would like to complete this track right this moment!’. I feel you get there with maturity as an artist. You belief that ‘I’ll end this track right this moment’ as a result of I’m a gifted author, I’d prefer to imagine. So I don’t sit there and wrack my mind. I simply take my time, eat some meals, sit back and all of it comes. And I pray and I let God do it as effectively.
