The 'Roar' hitmaker said she is delighted that people value her music,reported Contactmusic.
"That (being taken seriously) has taken a little time to come about, which I am totally OK with. I am happy that it is revealing itself that way.
"I think I have a certain level of vulnerability that I tap into with my lyric writing especially with the deeper cuts, that separates me from my peers. I do something different that they do and they do something that I can't do," she said.
"I only listened to gospel and Christian music until about 13. Then I had the revelation of Queen revealed to me. That changed my life forever, and the way that I write lyrics and paint pictures with my lyrics," she added.
