Rita Ora: 'Working with Calvin Harris was liberating and cleansing'

Songstress Rita Ora has revealed that holing up in the studio with her boyfriend, Scottish DJ Calvin Harris, was one of the best decisions she has made because it was such a 'freeing' experience.

Speaking to Marvin Humes on The Vodafone Big Top 40, the 'Shine Ya Light' beauty confessed that she didn't think working with your partner was a good idea, but managed to prove herself wrong and ended up with some amazing material:

"It was amazing. I always thought it was a bad idea to work with your partner. But I’m wrong! It was actually the most liberating, free, almost cleansing experience. I felt like I didn’t have to be anybody but myself in that room. It was so refreshing to do that."

She told The Sun newspaper recently that Harris is so sexy when they are creating music together: "I thought he was even more sexy when I actually saw him working in the studio. We'd had this pact that we'd never work together for fear it could cause problems, but quite the opposite. I'd look at him in there, so in control of everything, so creative, and just yelled, 'Please turn the air-con on to make it cooler in here, as I'm seriously hot!'."
