Rita Ora’s new album is about female empowerment, with the 24-year-old star determined to tackle issues of gender equality on the record.

The ‘Poison’ hitmaker is currently working on her second studio album and has teased fans can expect a record ”all about p**sy power” because she wants to celebrate female independence and discuss issues of gender equality.

She explained: ”It’s really about how we get judged for the things that we do and how men don’t.

”I know it’s part of society, but I think we can still stick together as females.

”The motive of this album all really came from the nature of being European.”

The 24-year-old star – who has reportedly worked with Ed Sheeran and Disclosure on the LP – continued to say she believes it’s an ”exciting time” for female musicians because there are so many women celebrating who they are.

She told Hot 97 radio station: ”Also I feel like at the moment, females have never been closer – pop stars, specifically. It’s an exciting time for females in this industry.”

Last month, Rita – who recently split up with her boyfriend Ricky Hil – revealed she has also worked with ‘Loyal’ singer Chris Brown, with their collaboration set to be her next single.

After the news they had worked together was revealed, she said: ”Chris Brown is strong, powerful and someone that is important to me personally and professionally.

”The discrimination and all what people think? If you have a great song then no one cares.”
