AceShowbiz - Rita Ora's second studio album is coming soon. While co-hosting BBC Radio 1's "The Breakfast Show with Nick Grimshaw", the "Black Widow" songstress opened up about her much-delayed sophomore album.

"I'm most excited about this record," Rita said, "I've been working on it for nearly two years...I've just been in a really crazy musical state, now to be in a really comfortable environment and grow up in my own skin, to put music out and write my own things."

"You know I've really used a lot of live instrumentation and I've written everything on my record," the "I Will Never Let You Down" hitmaker continued, "It's just a very organic, authentic album. Yeah, I'm really excited."

"Wow. I can't wait to hear it. When will we hear it? Because you've done it," Nick said. "Wait, I'm just going to play a little second of it," Rita replied, before playing a snippet of her new song from her cellphone. "Ok, that's it. I'm not even allowed to do that. My label is probably going to call me in five seconds," she joked.

Back in September, Rita told Evening Standard that her second album was almost done. "I'm desperate to get my music out," she said, "I think I'm now at a point in my life where I have a new amazing label, we really have taken it to the next level. It's very song-based. It's very real - real instruments, believable lyrics. I've not only grown as an individual but as a woman. People are going to see that."

When asked about subjects of the songs, the "Body on Me" singer replied, "It's just everything from my personal life to what I couldn't do due to previous situations and now being free. I've never been freer than I am right now. It's about everything from being a refugee, from flying in from Kosovo and living in London, having this amazing city that's crazy and full of lights - talking about real stuff."

"I've been in a whirlwind but I've honestly been living my dream," she added, "I was living in New York for three months filming 'America's Next Top Model', now I'm in London for two months recording every day with my dream team. Then I fly to L.A. in October to finish the album."

Rita has been working on her second album since 2013, but she faced several setbacks following her split from Calvin Harris and court battle with Roc Nation over her recording contract. In June, she signed a new record deal with Atlantic Records.
