Rita Ora has opened up about working with Prince, saying that it is "the best thing" that she's ever done.

Last year, Ora was reportedly flown to Prince's infamous Minneapolis Mansion where they began work on her second album. There, she claims to have witnessed what she could only describe as a 'musical genius', who was able to fix almost anything when it came to being in the studio.

''I was there for a week. It was the best thing I have ever done in my life," she told Paper Magazine. ''He plays like 50 instruments so you could do anything and he'll fix it. He has an answer for everything. He's a genius.''

Moving on to discuss working with stars as big as Prince she said: ''I want to be like that one day. They started from nothing and now they are legends and they will be remembered. And I'm all about learning everything - like how they move, how they speak, how they act.

"I am so distracted by all of that, by trying to read them like a book, that I don't think about who they are and I just take it in. I'm from West London and never thought anyone would know my name.''
