meli Sande considered quitting the music industry. The ‘Read All About It’ hitmaker became a household Ename when her debut studio album ‘Our Version of Events’ topped the charts but admits some people’s response to her success left her feeling like she should change careers. She said: “It hurt, and I didn’t know what to do. I was like, ‘Should I stop? Should I continue? Should I just go away?’ I considered it now and again, but I was never serious. “I knew I’d never break away from music, but I felt that if people didn’t want to see me singing then I could do other things. It’s very hard to get the balance right, and I never want to force anything on anyone. But I was also very proud of what I was representing, as when I was a kid I didn’t see many women who looked like me on TV.” However, the 30-year-old singer ultimately decided to con- tinue on her journey in the music industry but felt some Kaya Scodelario time back in her hometown of Alford in Aberdeenshire, Scotland with her family was needed.
