Diana Vickers: 'Falling in love impacted the creative process for my new record'

Songstress Diana Vickers has revealed that falling in love has impacted her forthcoming new album, 'Music To Make Boys Cry'.

She recently posed for a cover shoot with Drafted magazine, which will hit news stands on August 5, and in the accompanying interview she opened up about her boyfriend, model George Craig, explaining that he influenced her songwriting this time around:

"I fell in love over these past two years when I was writing the album, so that had a big impact on the creative process. It makes you feel happy and that affects your work – whatever you do in life. When you fall in love, you feel alive and everything is magical. You can always tell when someone’s in love because it radiates from them."

"I wrote half the album before I met my boyfriend, but falling in love has definitely had an effect on the overall record.'

The beauty also talked about the record itself and described the offering as "mature and sophisticated", adding: After my first album I had a bit of an identity crisis. I wasn’t really sure what kind of artist I was.

"The album did really well but it felt very young. I really wanted to go away and find myself and rediscover a few things... I really understand myself now and I’m so happy with the songs. You can see the transition of me as a person in my music. It’s more mature and sophisticated and feels like there’s more of a structure and consistent vibe to it."
