She might have spent the last few weeks gracing red carpets on the arm of her new British beau, but the Canadian star is clearly out to prove that she's still singing firmly on her mind.
Speaking about her inspirations to Kyle Goodwin, she said: 'Heartbreak has definitely been a big inspiration for me. You can write about a bad situation and just feel so much better afterwards.'
'For me it’s very therapeutic. But love in general – even when it’s good – is always very inspiring,' she added.
The actress, model and pop star, who is currently over in the UK with Kelly Brook's ex-boyfriend, ditched her usual bodycon dresses and stilettos for the new shoot.
Instead the 90210 star went for a more otherworldly look as she covered the monthly fashion mag, styled by Rivkie Baum, playing on her naturally striking looks.

In another she pushes the ceiling of the room with her hands while wearing a floor-length white crepe gown, surrounded by cakes and tea.
'Singing is more nerve- wracking, because you can’t hide behind other people’s words,' she said.
'It’s kind of like, ‘This is me and here’s my diary set to music’. But I’m really excited to explore more of that. I do a lot of writing on planes, actually. It’s my time that I can just relax and have absolutely no distractions.'
