'To be real, I don't want to give myself boundaries. It's definitely different than my work with Fifth Harmony. It's me,' added the curvy wonder.
And the 21-year-old singer finds it frustrating that artists are being pushed to appeal to the masses within a meticulously constructed public persona.

ShareShe told the magazine: 'When you're really disconnected from who you are and you're ashamed of it, you can write and tell a story, but you can never really tell your story.'
Lauren shared: 'That's what separates a lot of artists from others - the connection ... That's why you see so many people dying inside. Imagine the shame and insecurity.'
'It's me': Lauren, whose claim-to-fame girl group Fifth Harmony announced its hiatus this month, said: 'To be real, I don't want to give myself boundaries'
The original five members of Fifth Harmony had united into a girl group in 2012 on The X Factor USA, after their progress as soloists had stalled.
Camila Cabello's exit from the group - whose other members were Normani Kordei, Dinah Jane and Ally Brooke - was announced in 2016.
The rest of the group revealed this month that they were taking a hiatus.
Looking back on her time with the girl group, Lauren recalled: 'We tried our best to be ourselves, [but] we were also adolescents, so you have to think about who you were at that age and being thrown in front of cameras.'

She also discussed working on Halsey's song Strangers, which appeared on the latter's album Hopeless Fountain Kingdom.
Lauren said of the song, in which she and Halsey each sing about being in love with a woman: 'I love the concept of there being this visibility because most of the songs you hear about bisexual women or female attraction sexualizes the female connection.'
A first generation Cuban American, Lauren is joining Halsey on the Latin American leg of her Hopeless Fountain Kingdom World Tour.
