Her Mauritian parents helped nurture a love of music – mum’s love of Bollywood music, dad’s of Mauritius’ percussive homegrown music, sega.

Love Criminal’s saga of “my number one love criminal” was written about an ex although, as Magalie blushes: “I can’t remember which guy… He clearly didn’t stay!” Foo Fighters rocker Dave Grohl is Magalie’s ultimate love criminal. “Amazing musician, amazing songwriter, he seems so funny and charismatic.

Naturally drawn to persevere, via introduction and pure determination, Magalie’s strength as a songwriter was discovered by other writers including Guy Chambers and Taio Cruz, who saw the star in Magalie and supported and mentored her along her journey.

Indeed, her talent has led Zepherin Saint, founder of influential dance label Tribe, to set up new imprint Ovation specifically as a home for Magalie’s dazzlingly bright pop.

EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW

You have written with some amazing people over the years including Guy Chambers and Wayne Hector but what did you most learn from the experience?
I was very lucky to have the opportunity to work with them, actually couldn’t believe it when Guy Chambers wanted to sign me!!!

I learnt that it is not the end of the world if you don’t write a hit everyday… relax and it will come.

What do you love most about living in London
What a very long list this is and it is still growing… I love the people, I feel very free to express myself here without judgement. I love the noise of the city and I love smiling at strangers on the underground or wherever, its just perfect when they smile back.

Which artist did you last watch perform live?
Oh that would be Madonna and that tumble no one will ever forget… She is such a gangsta! Love how she just got up and continued, I would have so played dead lol.

Where did you get your cool sense of style from? You look amazing in the ‘Love Criminal’ video!
I knew from the beginning that I wanted to pick fashion styles from a different era with Love Criminal. When the director John Turner gave me the same feedback referencing ‘West Side Story’, I knew that was it!
