No more anxiety from me

ANNE-Marie’s newest music will divide fans because she’s ditching the sad, angry songs.

Having struck chart success by detailing her insecurities on past hits, she is now feeling more self-assured and thanks Rihanna for helping her get there.

Talking about her upcoming third LP, Anne-Marie shared: “I don’t know how people are going to feel about it.

“But I feel like me, as a human, I’m way happier. I’m more confident and I just want to use that.

“I want to be able to grip it with both hands and be like, ‘Yes, finally, my anxiety isn’t taking over, and I’m going to be whoever I want to be, and I don’t want to second-guess who I am, and I don’t want to compromise.’ “Basically. I’m being Rihanna.” The Rockabye star admires the way RiRi has full control of her artistry, saying: “She’s so good to look at as an artist because I feel like she’s never really swayed on her intentions and her vision.

“And it’s f***ing odd not doing that because there’s so many people around you going, ‘Oh, we think you could do that and we think you could do that.’ I think she’s going to be one of the longest-running artists ever from our generation.”
