'Shine Ya Light' hitmaker Rita Ora has revealed that her forthcoming new album will be significantly different to the offering that defined her as a new artist at the beginning of her career. 

She told Bloomingdales that she has "gone back to basics" for the new record: "For me, this is more than a second album, it's like my first album for you guys and for the rest of the world because it's everyone's dream to be in the States. I really wanted to make a lot of effort on this record."

Ora added that she's excited about her sophomore album because she has changed a lot since bursting onto the scene with her debut: "I've grown and I've listened to music that people have released recently. [I've] gone back to the basics of my love for Prince and Chaka Khan. It's just me finding that balance."

"I think it's time, I really do. Nowadays, I don't think people have any patience to think, 'What is she releasing?' You just have to be bold and be yourself."
