25 drops on 20 November and is expected to sell over a million copies in its first week alone. The 27-year-old is thought to be “pulling a Taylor Swift” by taking her music off the streaming service Spotify.
In a recent interview, she spoke about her son motivating her to start doing music again, saying: “Everything I do, in every channel of my life, is part of a legacy that I’m making for my child. For my children, if I have more.
"I’m not motivated by much, certainly not by money – but I’m motivated by that. I want my child to see his mum running a proper business again. Being a boss again. Hopefully smashing it again.”
