Rita Ora - 'ORA' Album Sampler

Up-and-coming songstress Rita Ora has released a sampler of her upcoming debut album ORA, which is out August 27 in the UK. The 21-year-old Brit is quickly gaining ground in the US with her debut US single "How We Do (Party)" which has seen success as it's been climbing the charts, along with her already #1 UK hit "R.I.P." The sampler is not nearly enough material to judge her upcoming album, but the sound has a very noticeably Diplo and The-Dream production feel to it while still retaining the bite that Rita is known for. "Radioactive" will be the next US single and the sampler is down below!

Introducing: Rita Ora

Rita Ora is quickly rising up on the chars in both the UK and the US and for good reason. After her work on DJ Fresh's "Hot Right Now", The UK-based,  Kosovian songstress who signed with Jay-Z back in 2009 to Roc Nation has released two singles, one for the UK and one for the US. The single she has released for the US, "How We Do (Party)" (originally "Party & Bullshit") is the typical Rihanna-styled nonsense that we've all heard far too many times. However, the UK release, "R.I.P. (feat. Tine Tempah)" is a smash. Produced by Stargate and Chase & Status and written by Drake, the song is brimming over with genius. It's a dub-step-infused down-tempo pop gem that screams hit. Rita Ora is surely on her way to becoming a huge name in both Europe and the US and I can't wait for her debut album out this year! take a listen to "R.I.P. (feat. Tine Tempah)" below!

Some Love For DJ Fresh

Next Monday, DJ Fresh, who grew to fame recently in the UK with his hit "Louder" featuring Sian Evans, will release his second single off his currently untitled third studio album. The new track is called "Hot Right Now" and features Rita Ora on vocals doing an absolutely wonderful job. I love the bounciness of the track mixed with Daniel Stein's impeccable knowledge of what makes a perfect hook. Have a look at the video for the single below and decide what you think of it! I know I'm obsessed...
