Songstress Rita Ora insists it's not about collaborating with a "12-time Grammy winning artist", as she'd rather "vibe and connect" with someone instead.

The 'Hot Right Now' hitmaker is currently working on her second album. Speaking about who she'd like to collaborate with on her newest record, Ora told BBC News: "I think it's definitely about who you really connect with, and the energy. It could be a like a 12 Oscar Grammy winning artist, but if you don't vibe - it's all about the connection."

Ora is excited for the "challenge" of following up on her hugely successful self-titled debut record.

She explained: "I'm in the process of doing a new album, and the single is set to be released mid after summer time, so just before Christmas. It's really excited because a lot has changed in the three years, my whole life has changed.

She added: "There's a lot of things I need to write about, it's going to be fun."
