Natasha Khan (a.k.a. Bat For Lashes) explained to BBC's Newsbeat: \n\n\"Well, I've always been an '80s girl, and I think [on] the first record I was quite shy really and I wanted to just keep it how I'd been playing it in my bedroom. I grew up listening to The Cure and I loved early Madonna and Prince and all of that stuff, so I think what prompted me was just probably having more confidence to kind of reach out and reveal even more of myself and what I love and not be too shy about it.\"\n\nhttps://www.songfacts.com/facts/bat-for-lashes/sleep-alone\n\nWatch the official video for this track here:\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pykZ7ExlpSA", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }
