Rita Ora Serves Body On 'Self' Cover

Rita Ora : Self (December 2015)

British songbird Rita Ora show off her toned body for the December issue of Self magazine, where she dishes on treating her first U.S. album as her debut, taking time to rest and what women in the industry she looks up to as role models. Read excerpts from her interview beneath:

On Her New Album:
"I’m treating this as if it were my debut. It’s like I’m starting from scratch. This is the first time everyone will see who Rita Ora is. Artistically, I felt like when I first got signed, it was a race. I was just trying to please everybody, not realizing that it really should be about knuckling down to who you are as an artist."

On Taking Time To Rest: "I’ve never been more grateful for sleep than I am at this point. I used to hate it. It took a lot to mentally calm me down. But now I travel with a candle and a little lavender pillow. Obviously, I’m like any other twenty­something: I like to have a drink after my show and things like that, but it’s in moderation. It’s one of those things where the band goes out later and gets hammered, and you’ve got to be the one who just goes to bed."

On Her Celebrity Role Models:
"Jennifer [Lopez]. Gwen [Stefani]. And you can’t knock [Jessica] Alba!"

British-bred singer Rita Ora, who is hard at work on a new album, covers the July 2015 issue of Marie Claire and in the magazine, she opens up about her split from Calvin Harris, the world's highest-paid DJ, who is currently dating Taylor Swift.

If you recall, Ora was forced to cancel her performance of "I Will Never Let You Down" at the 2014 Teen Choice Awards, after Harris, who produced the song, refused to approve it for television.

"There was a reason why I split up with him. And there was a reason why I'm at this point in my life where I feel like I have so much musical freedom, and I don't have to explain myself to anybody," the singer says in the new issue, on newsstands June 23rd.

"It was more of a thing where I was in awe. I was at that point in my relationship where I felt he could do no wrong. I thought he had my back and that he'd never steer me wrong. But then 'I Will Never Let You Down' came out, and everything started to go a bit weird. I don't know if it was because business was mixed with personal or what." Peep more photos from her shoot beneath:
