Gabriella Cilmi's happy for the focus to be on her music and not her boobs now

  • November 6, 2013
  • Brad O'Mance

Gabriella CilmiGabriella Cilmi is no longer all "about the boobies".

Having a chat to the Metro, the 'Hearts Don't Lie' hitmaker had this to say about how she was presented previously.

"What I say is that it’s not about the boobies any more, it’s about the music. I felt like there were too many cooks and no one really taking the lead or the reins."

Delving deeper into her bag of metaphors, she added:

"I felt like I was a puppet being pulled in different dir­ec­tions. But at the same time if I didn’t go through that I wouldn’t know what I want."

Well exactly. ('Woman On A Mission' is still amazing though right?)
