Her profile soared after a very public relationship with Channing Tatum.
But now Jessie J wants to show the world her focus is on music, not fame.
Jessie, who split with 40-year-old Magic Mike actor Channing last year after a two-year on/off romance, says: “I have never been that kind of person.
“I know it sounds clichéd, but genuinely I love to sing.
“The most important direction for me is to be authentic to who I am.”
The 32-year-old adds: “I definitely think I’ve come off that path in moments, but I feel now I’m starting my career again, which feels amazing.
“I feel like I’m relaunching myself [and] the music is my main focus. It is very honest.
“I’m excited for the next 10 years.”
Despite not wanting to focus on her private life, Jessie says she had to go public with her new man, dancer Max Pham Nguyen, because snaps revealing their romance made her look like a character from Shrek.
She explains: “I looked like Lord Farquaad’s dad – the king from Shrek.
“I looked like a thumb in a wig. It’s not good. But you get to an age where you have to laugh, and I had so many [other] nice pictures.”
The singer, who splits her time between LA and London, also mused about her fashion sense.
She says: “I looked like a giant children’s toy for about five years.
“I enjoyed it too – it’s so funny. I look at it and (realise I had) no fear. I wore whatever I wanted. Some moments I look back and go, ‘Really Jess?’ ”
Nothing wrong with dressing up as a giant children’s toy…
