The 22-year-old is about to release her new album 21 later this month as well as her new single Rolling In The Deep.
She said to UK newspaper Daily Star: 'I love that Chipmunk and Tinchy [Stryder] and all that lot are doing so well but I hate that they're having to rap over Swedish dance music - I find it really discouraging.
'I want to make organic music, just me and my band in a room, sticking to my roots. Whether it succeeds or not at least I can hold my head high.'
Speaking about the new album, she said: 'I knew I wanted to progress not too far 'cos the people who loved Chasing Pavements and Hometown Glory ultimately gave me the chance to record a second album.
'But I wanted to be a bit more playful. Everyone thinks I'm so serious 'cos of 19 - musically and lyrically it's quite a sombre record.'
