British pop star Rita Ora has taken inspiration from Prince and Chaka Khan for her next album.

The 'Radioactive' hitmaker says she has gone back to basics while working on her second album, reported Ace Showbiz.

"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," Ora said.
 

The 22-year-old singer's second studio album will be her first international release, and she is hoping to achieve the same success in the US as her 2012 debut album 'ORA' which topped the UK charts last year.

Ora has reportedly been in secret talks with TV mogul Simon Cowell to appear as a judge on 'The X Factor' in the US in a bid to help her crack America.
