Little Boots intended to write songs for others

Little Boots, aka Victoria Hesketh, says her debut album Hands nearly never existed because she first planned to write songs for other artists.

Victoria Hesketh, aka Little Boots, has revealed that prior to beginning work on her debut album, 'Hands', which is out this week, she had intended to write songs for other people.

She told The Daily Star: "'Hands' nearly never existed as originally I thought about writing for other people and not doing this project. What happened was that I had written about six demos and sent them out and got a really good reaction from everyone I sent them to. Soon I realised there was too much of me in the songs and they weren't empty enough to give to other people. I believe that if you write music for other people it has to be a song which anyone can sing".
