“He really does have this great knowledge about music as well as film and books. He just expanded my creativity in a natural way which I am grateful for.”
While on the programme, Ora was questioned about her hiatus from the music scene prior to her latest album You and I being released.
Looking back on her break from music, she said: “I just don’t force it. I dug deep into my songwriting and it felt right to put it out into the world again.
“When I do music I really want to just home in on that. We spent two years going through my journal and I’ve never really been a journal-er but someone told me I should try it. I do it every day, just a little bit and now here we are.”
Earlier that day, Ora posted a snap on Instagram of her surprise performance for the Love Island 2023 cast.
The Poison singer could be seen rocking a black Miu Miu crochet bra and pleated orange and khaki miniskirt.
Ora wrote: “See you on @loveisland I’ll be performing some new songs off my album and surprising the islanders! #dreammade I LOVE the show, guilty pleasure forever!”
The singer performed one of her new songs, Praising You, from her third studio album You and I
The Love Island cast are said to have “absolutely lost it” during her performance.
She told Hammond and O’Leary: “Guys my dream has come true. I am singing some songs, surprising them, in peak heat by the way it’s so hot there I was sweating in places I didn’t know I could sweat from. And then ... I can’t tell you what happens, but I was so excited to be there.”
“They were all asking what its like on the outside. I love Jess, she’s a real good girl. But yeah, they all wanted to know what it was like and I wasn’t allowed to say anything.”
