How about it folks! AWESOME, AWESOME, AWESOME! I loved the movie!
Go see it if you haven’t already and you won’t be disappointed. We weren’t gonna put the song on the soundtrack originally as it was a little in front of my album release but how could we possibly resist..?

Go see it if you haven’t already and you won’t be disappointed. We weren’t gonna put the song on the soundtrack originally as it was a little in front of my album release but how could we possibly resist..? We couldn’t, an amazing opportunity, a great film, a great cast, I am extremely happy to be involved with it all.
My brother and sister went with my Mum in London (my sister is a fan of the show but for my brother there was really no choice, it was mandatory!). He confessed he was dreaming up a whole covert operation which involved gaffer tape and rope incase my Mom (for the US contingent!), jumped up mid-film screaming :
“THIS IS MY DAUGHTER’S SONG, ISN’T IT WONDERFUL!” etc etc, possibly followed by “SHE TAKES AFTER ME YOU KNOW!”
Fortunately she remained calm…ish!
The cute thing is years ago when I was trying to get a record deal I was living in the middle of nowhere with my Mum, beautiful countryside but nothing to do outside of a nice walk and my little bedroom studio. So one Thursday evening my Mum introduced me to Sex and the City. I’d avoided it for a while before then because it had initially annoyed me the way everyone was raving that every woman in the world was depicted in these four women in the show etc, and I thought that was a bit ridiculous. So I had built up a bit of an aversion to it without even checking it out (an interesting lesson there), and the first time I saw it I secretly thought…this is actually pretty good, but of course in my own stubborn little way I didn’t mention a word. Then the next week came along and I verbally commended it to my Mum! From then on I really looked forward to it and we wouldn’t miss an episode (unless I was dragging my bags around London for meetings trying to get signed). So it was pretty special getting the song in the film as it reminds me of some lovely mother and daughter time, watching the show and conversing over cheese, wine, cobber (a type of bread that for some reason can only be found in a tiny shop in Penarth, Wales, that we all fight over when we’re home) and marmite!
Anyway, I came out of the film in Santa Monica, LA and it took me back to watching all the episodes in the sticks in England and wanting to run straight to a trendy bar in fabulous clothes to drink cocktails with the girls! Which must officially make me a lady (I was always a bit of a tomboy) now, I’ve been converted and just want to wear ridiculous dresses and heels. I think I’ll have to satisfy this urge in my new video. As a friend said recently, “Jem, it’s one thing moving out of your box a little, but you’ve jump into another stratosphere” (this was directly after I showcased the most stupidly expensive ridiculous giant red hat I bought straight after watching the film..!)
Ah well, no moderation, story of my life…
Hope you’re all doing super duper!
