Scarlet woman: Diana Vickers opened up on love, life and making music in an interview with the August edition of DRAFTED magazine

Speaking in an interview with the August edition of DRAFTED magazine, she said: 'I fell in love over these past two years when I was writing the album, so that had a big impact on the creative process.
'It makes you feel happy and that affects your work – whatever you do in life. When you fall in love, you feel alive and everything is magical. You can always tell when someone’s in love because it radiates from them.
'I wrote half the album before I met my boyfriend, but falling in love has definitely had an effect on the overall record.'

Diana explained she and George, 22, try not to get too wrapped up in the 'superficial side' of their relationship, although she admitted she finds it easier to date someone else in the public eye because he isn't 'fazed' by her fame.
She added: 'When you first start seeing someone, people want to know about that person and they dig up things about the person you’re dating. Sometimes that can be hard.

'But at the end of the day that’s not reality. The reality is just the two of you and the life you have at home and your friends and family. Going out and getting papped together is nothing, it’s just the superficial side to the relationship.
'That’s why I’ve found it good to date someone that’s in the industry because they’re generally used to it and not really fazed by it.'

Although the couple may be love's young dream, Diana joked that music is her 'baby', and admitted she is '10 times' happier with her second album offering than her debut record, Songs From The Cherry Tree, which hit the number one spot back in 2010.

She added to DRAFTED: 'Music is my baby. It’s so nice to get back into the swing of it all. I had a bit of a break, but the second time round feels so much better.
'I’m in a much better headspace now and I love this album 10 times more than my first one.
'I’m loving it! This time around I know myself better and I’ve opened up to a whole different type of music...
'After my first album I had a bit of an identity crisis. I wasn’t really sure what kind of artist I was.
'The album did really well but it felt very young. I really wanted to go away and find myself and rediscover a few things...
'I really understand myself now and I’m so happy with the songs. You can see the transition of me as a person in my music.
'It’s more mature and sophisticated and feels like there’s more of a structure and consistent vibe to it.'
