Diana Vickers talked with Tim Westwood during a visit to 1Xtra about her album, ‘The X-Factor’, various nicknames and her new single ‘My Wicked Heart’. “I wrote it. It’s sort of pop, it’s not from my first album, I just went a bit mental,” she explained about the song which is going to be on the digital reissue of ‘Songs from the Tainted Cherry Tree’. “I started writing loads of new songs. It’s a bit of left center of what I usually do, a bit out there, but I’m a bit proud of it. If it was a color, it would be multi-colored.” Watch the interview via YouTube below.
