Jess Glynne looks back on 2015 and reveals what's next for 2016.

From the moment her collaboration with Clean Bandit on "Rather Be" in 2014 dropped, Jess Glynne became a mainstay on our playlists. Whether it's her strong and effortless vocals or honest tunes, there is something about the London singer-songwriter that will make you want to put her on repeat. 

Music is not something that she's good at, but her lifelong goal. "Ever since I can remember, all I dreamt of was being a singer," she explains. "I was obsessed with singing and listening to music and performing. When I came home from traveling and everyone was going to university and starting to map out their careers I made a decision that music was my path."

And after the release of "Rather Be," the Grammy-winning artist saw her life change before her eyes—something that she's still getting used to now.

"Since 'Rather Be,' my life has changed a lot," she says. "My social life is very different, I don't see my friends and family half as much. I don't live at home anymore, I can't really go out without people recognizing me. It's all quite strange to think this is my life. I still live like I have always done as I don't want it to affect me so I don't really notice it until someone asks me."

With her new single, "Take Me Home," featuring Anthony Hamilton, off her album, I Cry When I Laugh, making its rounds now and a headlining tour at the top of 2016, Jess' plate will be full in the new year but something she's definitely ready for. MySpace asked Jess to look back on the past year and make a few predictions (or wishes) into the future. Find out her faves, big moments and hopes below.

Best Moment of 2015: Having my debut album released!


2015 Moment You Wish You'd Rather Forget: There's nothing in my life that I regret so forgetting things isn't really a thing in my life. We live and we learn and I'll get over any moment that makes me cringe or feel funny.


Best Gig of 2015: The best gig of 2015 was probably the last show of my UK tour in Manchester it was so special. 


2015 Show You Wish You Could Do Over and Get Right: I don't think there is one! When you play live there's always mistakes but it's never something I wish I could change cause I just learn from it and don't do it again if I can help it!

    Ammy Thomas My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My sisters friend has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can't believe how easy it was once I tried it out. This is what I do.. Clik This Link inYour Browser.... ► ► ► ► www.FreelanceJoin.com
