The Queen of Hip-Hop Soul is back at it with her new documentary The London Sessions which documents the recording process of her 13 albums recorded in the UK.

And it was a wake up call, it was a huge humongous wake up call for me to say ‘Look, you don’t need any of these people around and I’m going to make sure that you see how fast they run when this happens.’ And it was just the biggest wake up call ever.”
