Romanian supermodel Alina Puscau recently made the leap from the catwalk to the mic with her debut single "When You Leave." The video for that track—directed by her boyfriend, Brett Ratner—bears watching over and over. As luck would have it, we have it right here on Playboy.com. (Click above to watch—we'll wait.)

Alina's nude Playboy pictorial—shot by none other than Ratner—appears in the November issue of the magazine. We got to know a little more about Alina during a break from a recent photo shoot.

Playboy: Did you know about Playboy in Romania?
Alina Puscau: I actually did a shoot for Playboy in Romania, in lingerie of course! It was last year and I had also done an interview with them about my music.

Playboy: How did you come over to the States?
AP: When I won the Elite modeling contest in Romania, I signed a contract with them and immediately began traveling all over the world. I ended up moving to New York City for work.

Playboy: How did you get started with your singing career?
AP: I was at a friend's house. She is a professional singer, and she overheard me sing. I used to memorize her songs and sing them to her. She told me that we should do something together and that I should start a career.

Playboy: Tell us about the new album.
AP: I've worked really hard on this album. The theme is a mix of all the music I love. It's an album for all people, with something that everyone can relate to. I wrote most of the songs myself. They are all based on personal moments of mine, but we all share very similar moments like these. It's all a bit pop, a bit urban and very danceable.

Playboy: What was it like working with Brett Ratner on the video for "When You Leave"?
AP: He's a great director; I've always loved his work! We shot the whole video in his garage over a 24-hour period. It was hard work and both an intense and fantastic experience. It paid off, though. It's a great video.

Playboy: Yes, yes it is. What song makes you feel sexy in a club?
AP: T.I. And Rihanna's "Live Your Life" is a track that always gets me dancing in a club!

Playboy: What do you wear when you want to feel sexy?
AP: A corset, pretty much like what you see in the video. Sometimes I wear men's boxers as well! I'm notorious for stealing my boyfriend's boxers.

Playboy: What type of man are you attracted to?
AP: A charismatic man, a man who I can really connect with. Chemistry is very important to me, and he must be able to make me laugh. I also appreciate a little belly on my man.

Playboy: How are men in Europe different from men in the States?
AP: American men take their time to build a relationship, European men tend to take things much faster.

Playboy: Do you ever listen to music while having sex?
AP: I have... Sade and Luther Vandross.

Playboy: What's the craziest thing you've ever done?
AP: I had a night out with friends about four years ago. We had a lot of different parties and events to go to, and I was incredibly thirsty. At each event, I would drink a different type of alcohol, and it got a bit crazy. Needless to say, it hurt incredibly bad the next morning.
