"I've seen her today. She came and busted in my dressing room and was like, 'What up?'" Will.i.am told Capital FM's showbiz reporter Kevin Hughes. "I like hanging out with that girl.

"She has so much energy, she's so good to be around, [she] lifts your spirits up," he explained. 'I like that part of a person.

Will.i.am revealed that although he is still keen to collaborate with the 'Who You Are' singer, he doesn't want to rush working with her.
