				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Alesha Dixon released a statement over the weekend stating that she was not planning to release her comeback solo material until next year. The singer <a href="https://news.yahoo.com/alesha-dixon-daughters-return-music-121222917.html?fr=sychp_catchall">explained</a> that her decision to release her music earlier than planned is due to her two daughters.</p>
<p>The singer <a href="https://www.irishmirror.ie/showbiz/celebrity-news/alesha-dixon-brings-pop-comeback-24761507">stated, </a>&#8220;<em>My daughters have been a huge inspiration when it comes to me going back into the studio and releasing new music</em>&#8220;.</p>
<p>The singer expressed that she wishes for her daughters to view her as an inspirational figure. The singer&#8217;s path to fame began in 2000 when she was part of her band Mis-Teeq. The singer continued the band with Sabrina Washington and Su-Elise Nash following the <a href="https://www.radioswisspop.ch/en/music-database/musician/250952657971fda238c33545e90091a12e1b32/biography">departure</a> of Zena McNally before the group rained success.</p>
<p>The group celebrated two top ten albums and seven top ten singles in the <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/9547/mis-teeq/">UK Official Charts</a> with memorable songs <em>&#8220;Why&#8221; </em>(2001), <em>&#8220;All I Want&#8221;</em> (2001) and <em>&#8220;Scandalous&#8221;</em> (2003). The singer has released four <a href="https://www.officialcharts.com/artist/5270/alesha-dixon/">solo</a> albums to date and her solo songs include <em>&#8220;The Boy Does Nothing&#8221;</em> (2008) and <em>&#8220;Breathe Slow&#8221;</em>.</p>
<p>The singer also gained TV fame on Strictly Come Dancing when she <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/profiles/328VJ0QBHcr2bdl0n1sSRDX/alesha-dixon">won</a> the show in 2007 and then became a judge of the show in 2009. The singer left her judge role on Strictly Come Dancing in 2012.</p>
<p>The singer was then <a href="https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-16385243">announced</a> as a new judge on the successful prime time show Britain&#8217;s Got Talent in 2012. The singer was also a judge on America&#8217;s Got Talent: The Champions in 2020 and it was announced in June that the singer is to also be a judge on Australia&#8217;s Got Talent. The show has since been <a href="https://www.hellomagazine.com/celebrities/20210629116368/alesha-dixon-returning-to-uk-agt-cancelled-covid/">cancelled</a> due to Covid 19 and quarantine restrictions.</p>
<p>The singer has also turned her hand to <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/author/list/7940230.Alesha_Dixon">writing</a> children&#8217;s books and hosting TV shows and hosted Dance Dance Dance in  2017 and has recently <a href="https://www.radiotimes.com/tv/entertainment/talent-shows/greatest-dancer-presenter-alesha-dixon-strictly-bgt-misteeq/">hosted </a>the dance show The Greatest Dancer. The singer has managed to maintain her musical roots as she continues to release music whilst working on TV shows.</p>
<p>The singer had taken a five-year break from music until the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-9895073/Alesha-Dixon-makes-pop-comeback-five-years-away.html">release</a> of her single <em>&#8220;War&#8221;</em> in July. The single singer explained that the single addresses mental health issues.</p>
