Little Boots has admitted that she was "relieved" when her album Hands made number five last month.

The singer, whose new video 'Remedy' premiered online today, claimed that she could now focus on developing herself as a musician.

"I feel like I can get on with doing what I love and being a good musician and performer rather that worrying about hype. And Top 5 album - I can die in peace," she told Radio 1's Newsbeat.

The star, real name Victoria Hesketh, insisted that she was not disappointed that the record didn't make the Mercury Music Prize shortlist.

"No I never really considered it. I don't think my album is really that kind of album," she said.

"I also think Metronomy were robbed of a nomination. Their album, Nights Out, in my opinion is one of the most creative albums of the year.

"As for who I want to win, I'd go with Florence And The Machine or Bat For Lashes."

Little Boots releases 'Remedy' on August 16.
