This is what it's like featuring on Drake's album

Working with Drake isn't something that many UK artists get to do but it did happen for Kyla and she's "on cloud nine" about it.

Speaking to BBC Radio 1Xtra's Trevor Nelson, she laughs that initially she thought it was a small UK grime artist wanting to work with her.

"I got a call asking for me to get in contact because someone wanted to sample my tune," she explains.

"I was like 'Yeah, I'll get to them. I'll get to them'.

"When I phoned the company they said: 'A huge international star wants to sample your tune and they want to have a meeting with you'.

"When they said [it was] Drake, I was like 'Yeah right, yeah right, whatever'.

"I didn't believe it. We signed the paper deal and everything and I still didn't believe it.

"I was waiting for someone to say to me 'Kyla, we're having you on'."

The track in question was Do You Mind which was released in 2008.

Things have moved on since that initial phone conversation and Kyla now features on the track, rather than just being sampled.

One Dance, to be released on Drake's album, Views From the 6, will also feature WizKid.

And that was something she has to keep quiet about.

"I wasn't allowed to say anything," she explains.

"I was reading online about his album and people talking about the features with suggestions of Kanye West and Beyonce.

"It was loads of big artists and I was like 'Oh my gosh, I hope this comes through'."

Kyla hopes this is the beginning of her comeback.

She says she put everything on hold because she got married and started a family but she's now back in the studio and hopes to work with Drake's team again.
