ELLA Eyre hasn't even released her debut album yet and she's already been involved in two chart-topping singles.

Now the songstress has revealed she'd love to team up with Happy hitmaker Pharrell Williams.

"Working with someone like Pharrell would be the ultimate dream," says the 20-year-old, who headlines the O2 ABC on Monday.

"His stuff is organic and raw, and I really loved what he did with Paloma Faith (on the song Can't Rely On You), so it'd be cool to see what we could come up with."

Ella's not doing badly in the charts as it is.

She reached number one with Rudimental on Waiting All Night, and she co-wrote Sigma's recent hit with Paloma Faith, Changing.

After working with the likes of Rudimental and Bastille, the singer is now aiming for solo success, with her debut album currently planned for a February release.

Given that the record will include tunes Ella wrote when she was 16, she reckons the album will show just how she's matured as a writer over the past few years.

"There's been a maturing process for me," she says.

"I've grown up quite a bit in terms of how I write and how I view things, so it's been quite interesting for me to look back over it all now.

"The record is something that people can relate to, but I want them to have fun and enjoy themselves with it too.

"I'm more confident as a writer now. I'm more aware of situations and how I want to deal with them, and how I want to progress with my writing.

"The way I deal with a break-up now is very different to how I'd deal with it when I was 16."

Talk of a break-up brings to mind her fellow Rudimental collaborator John Newman, who she dated for a while.

Perhaps Newman should watch his step, given that the music video for Ella's recent single Comeback features her vengefully setting an ex's car on fire.

Shooting the fiery video was a blast for the big-haired singer.

"Any excuse to trash a car and I'll do it," she laughs.

"Even though it looks like a fun video, I think people are able to relate to it, because when someone takes advantage of you and breaks up with you, then you do want to get revenge - and the song was one way of looking at how you want to tear them to shreds."

Like many a singer, her music offers Ella a chance to get her frustrations out.

"I definitely find it therapeutic," she says of her writing.

"A lot of my songs are quite vulnerable or quite angry, but there's a lot of fun in there too. It helps me to deal with things and iron it all out."

Ella's career could have followed a different path, though. Initially she was focused on a swimming career, and even when she switched focus and went to attend the famous BRIT School it wasn't with aims of becoming a pop star.

"I went to the BRIT school to study musical theatre," she explains.

"I found that it didn't allow me to be creative enough or to be the artist that I wanted to be. That's when I started to write, and I enjoyed that process.

"To be singing someone else's words or being someone else's character, I felt quite restricted and felt that I had more to say."

She's carried that attitude into her live gigs, which are known for being high-energy affairs.

That means she's eager for her Glasgow return on Monday.

"When I played King Tut's last March it was the loudest crowd I had on the entire tour," she says.

"Considering it was probably the smallest venue on the whole tour it had such an incredible vibe and was really, really fun."
