Ruth Lorenzo - X Factor 2008

Dannii Minogue has hit the recording studio again and the star has teamed up with singer songwriter Ruth Lorenzo for her latest album.

The X Factor judge mentored the Spanish singer on the 2008 series of the hit show and cameras from her ITV2 fly on the wall documentary, captured the pair recording one of Ruth’s songs ‘Cos Your Beautiful’, which Dannii has fallen in love with.

Ruth told The Sun:

“She was rocking out with her big belly doing air guitar. She loved it. I said if she wanted to sing it she could have it. We got in the studio and it was so much fun.”

Admitting that she was nervous about her first studio session since she recorded Neon Nights in 2003, Dannii added:

“Its been pushed back to my agenda for a long time. I think since X Factor came on the scene I’ve been heavily involved in the mentoring of other people and helping their music career. It’s kind of scary for me today because it’s like getting back on the horse. I think I’ve copped quite a bit of flack over the year’s for the music, “it’s not been as good as our sister’s or it’s not charted this or it should have done that” but I’ve loved it and enjoyed it and I’ve learnt a lot. I’ve got to get some confidence with it and right now I don’t have that.”
