Fashion magazine WWD have reported - "The bubbly artist has had a busy year. She recently wrapped her third album, due out some time next year. “It’s pop music, but it’s just a very big surprise, a big shock of material. I’ve experimented a lot so I’m excited to hear what people think,” she said.
Looking forward to seeing what she means by those comments!

Posted by: Jordan Lee 30th September 2019, 11:57 PM
I’m not gonna get too excited as I remember we didn’t have long to wait for album 2 back in 2014
But that’s good news I guess that means we’re not gonna get a Phoenix re release and I imagine we’ll get the third album at some point before summer. I can’t see it being a Q4 release again.
Excited to hear the direction she’s went in for this era though

I'll believe it when I see it, she's basically the woman who cried album.
Posted by: pippa 1st October 2019, 02:20 PM
If the album comes in 2020 it would be good as Rita certainly does not need another huge gap between Phoenix and another album. An album next year would be good.

I've read that the lead single is gonna be a Lewis Capaldi song??? cannot be, right?

As in Lewis wrote the track (like Ed and Your Song) or a duet between the two?

Rita Ora talks "crazy, amazing, exciting" third album: "I want to turn people on their heads" Rita has opened up about plans for her next album in a new interview.
Rita Ora has shared details about her upcoming third studio album.
Speaking to Music Week, Rita - currently Number 1 on the UK's Official Singles Chart as part of the Live Lounge Allstars - promised a "crazy, amazing, exciting direction" for her next album.
"I want to turn people on their heads, turn things around 360 and introduce some live instrumentation, experiment sonically, work with people I've never worked with before and do some more soulful tracks," she explained.
"Trying to meet expectations never goes to plan ... so I've been focusing on my own path, which is making amazing pop music, experimenting and making a new sound, being sonically proud."
Fans will have to wait a bit longer for the collection than they might have expected, however. Rita's manager Sarah Stennett said that due to the coronavirus pandemic, "it's very doubtful the album will come out this year."
She better scrap all 2019 songs that she recorded. They all sounds bland.
Posted by: slowdown73 9th August 2020, 11:46 AM
I was listening to Phoenix yesterday and it’s a very good album. However, the last song was quite weak in comparison to anything she has done recently so I hope the new material is much better.
Posted by: WhoOdyssey 9th August 2020, 02:34 PM
Only just saw that Lewis demo tweet, he should've kept the song for himself! Sounds much better for him

I’m THRILLED to announce that I am partnering with BMG!!! I couldn't be happier that they will be my label family moving forward. Their approach to artist ownership and control is very much aligned with mine, and it’s so empowering to know that I will own all my master recordings that I make from now on. I also feel so motivated to be working with such a dynamic, creative, forward-thinking global company. I want to say a big THANK-YOU to the wonderful team at Atlantic Records, as I’m so proud of our incredible journey together and will never forget the day when we set the UK chart record for the most Top 10 singles by a British female artist. I am extremely grateful to get to do what I love, for all the special people I’ve been fortunate enough to work with and for my fans who are EVERYTHING to me - I do this all for you! I am beyond excited about the new music I've been working on and can't wait to share it with you all. Here’s to a new chapter! See you all very soon!

I’d forgotten she hasn’t released an album since late 2018.
Was ‘How To Be Lonely’ meant to be the lead before it did absolutely nothing or was it always a standalone single?

I really like her and "Big" deserved to be massive - I just don't see her getting success again unfortunately . Happy to be proven wrong though!

I agree. Pop music is so dead that I've got zero expectations that any music from her will do well commercially, but I'm just hoping for some fun bops.

How they ever thought "How To Be Lonely" would be a hit is beyond me
If she had come back with Bang Bang of Big at that stage, I think she could have got at least a Top 20 hit.

I do wonder if she had a third album close to ready at that time though.

For sure. I mean, Calvin Harris reportedly had a whole album written for her before their relationship went sour.
Posted by: Feel_The_Fever 6th September 2022, 01:43 PM
There is always huge delays with her albums, she really turned everything around with anywhere and the 2nd album did well considering all the delays but all the momentum is gone again.

According to ATRL (sourced from ahamusic), the album is called You & I and is out in June!
1. Don't Think Twice - 3:06 2. You Only Love Me - 2:29 3. Praising You (feat. Fatboy Slim) - 2:44 4. Unfeel It - 2:41 5. Waiting for You - 2:43 6. You & I - 3:00 7. That Girl - 3:01 8. Shape of Me - 2:29 9. Look At Me Now - 2:45 10. Girl in the Mirror - 3:11 11. Notting Hill - 2:30 12. I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend - 3:14
Posted by: Frenchie 29th March 2023, 06:21 PM
Glad that the album is coming soon, but after You Only Love Me’s performance I can’t see this doing well.
Posted by: One_For_Sorrow 29th March 2023, 06:37 PM
Great there’s an album coming soon. I’m guessing they’re hoping Praising You is a sizeable hit to help the album.
Posted by: JLJ 29th March 2023, 06:58 PM
I’m here for a new Rita album doesn’t feel like she’s still just set to release album #3 with her back catalogue of hits you’d be inclined to think she’d have around 5 albums under her belt now.
Hopefully the release date remains the same. She may not necessarily still be scoring gigantic hit singles but I think album wise she could challenge for a top 5 peak on a quiet week especially if she does something like signings or releases different formats.
Posted by: neill2407 29th March 2023, 07:28 PM

Surely she is gonna launch a new single before the album release?
Posted by: Frenchie 14th July 2023, 06:28 AM
This was a real struggle to get through. You Only Love Me is the only good song, the rest are forgettable. Can’t see myself ever coming back to this which is a shame as Phoenix is still such a great album.
Posted by: kandrew 14th July 2023, 07:43 AM
She really has fallen out of favour with the British public and it’s a shame the material is pretty decent.
Posted by: Jord 14th July 2023, 09:07 AM
Album is now out!
Posted by: Jord 14th July 2023, 11:01 AM
On first listen I actually think it’s quite good as a whole album, there was no duds although the songs are very short (which is kinda the norm now but some of the songs could’ve elevated more with one final moment). I don’t think it sounds quite as high budget and hit stacked as what Phoenix did but there are some good tracks on here what lie with the album tracks.
I’ll have another listen to see what stands out more across the weekend but yeah it’s pretty solid but perhaps slightly on the safe side.
Posted by: Rough_edges 14th July 2023, 11:07 AM
I dont think her being on the voice has helped as she doesn't come across likeable in the slightest
Posted by: GraceAJX 14th July 2023, 11:35 AM
Didn't even know this was out today, and I can't say I'll be giving it a listen...
Posted by: AdamG 14th July 2023, 11:46 AM
I love her but it's not going to be a smash is it?
Posted by: AdamG 14th July 2023, 12:48 PM
On first listen:
8.0 - Don't Think Twice - It's a decent opener but doesn't really hit the high levels of her previous album leaders. 10.0 - You Only Love Me - By far the best song on the album and her closest attempt to Anywhere, not quite as good but still a decent effort. 06.5 - Praising You - I've tried so hard to warm to this, but it just cringes me out at this point. 06.0 - Unfeel It - A bit plain, this track goes nowhere really. 08.0 - Waiting for You - This slaps a bit, I won't lie. A summery bop. Should have been the song featured on NMF. 07.5 - You & I - I mean, it's nice... it just sounds like a Taylor Swift carbon copy. 09.0 - That Girl - A nice little sample, I quite like this. The best of the album tracks. 05.0 - Shape of Me - Boring. 07.5 - Look At Me Now - A slower effort here, and Rita sounds absolutely gorgeous on this. 06.0 - Girl in the Mirror - Sounds very dated, like an old Charli XCX reject. Wouldn't surprise me if this was meant for Charli. 05.0 - Notting Hill - Zzzzzzzzzzz. Filler filler filler. 06.5 - I Don't Wanna Be Your Friend - Nothing really to say about this either.
Overall, there is a couple of decent album tracks - 'Waiting for You' and 'That Girl', but the second half of the album really falls off the face of the earth.
Half of this album is dreadful. A massive step down from Phoenix.
Posted by: Mangø 14th July 2023, 01:04 PM
Yeah I think it's a decent effort, couple of fillers but on the whole there's some nice little songs on it. 'Unfeel It' and 'Shape Of Me' are the two that stood out to me on first listen.
I dread to think where it's gonna land on the chart though - I wouldn't be surprised if it misses the top 20 (or worse!)

Yeah I think this is half the problem, she really doesn't come across as very likeable, and of course the whole Covid party-gate thing did her no favours whatsoever. I don't think she can ever really recover from falling out of favour with the public at this point.
Posted by: JosephStyles 14th July 2023, 09:39 PM
I find her very likeable on The Masked Singer, I don't really get what the issue with her is on there! She makes awful guesses but they all do Partygate was definitely what sunk her, which is a shame as the music has remained great.
I love the album, it's not as good as Phoenix but it's strong and consistent, and the bops in particular really land. Unfeel It, Waiting for You and You & I is a great run, and Shape of You and Girl in the Mirror are my other favourites. I met her again today at her album signing in London and she was just as kind as always

Which, to be fair, is the case for many artists that don't have strong streaming to back them up. Comparison for positions #3-5 between week 1 and 2 (thanks Jay for doing this!)
#03 03-44 Sleep Token - Take Me Back to Eden 03-45 Fall Out Boy - So Much (For) Stardust 03-63 Everything but the Girl - Fuse 03-68 Jessie Ware - That! Feels Good! 03-122 Sleaford Mods - UK GRIM 03-163 James - Be Opened by the Wonderful 03-172 Those Damn Crows - Inhale/Exhale 03-196 Gracie Abrams - Good Riddance 03-xxx DMA'S - How Many Dreams? 03-xxx Jonas Brothers - The Album
#04 04-11 Clavish - Rap Game Awful 04-32 Mimi Webb - Amelia 04-45 The National - First Two Pages of Frankenstein 04-52 Tunde - First Lap 04-78 Pet Shop Boys - Smash - The Singles 1985-2020 04-78 Olivia Dean - Messy 04-89 Pink Floyd - The Dark Side of the Moon (Live at Wembley 1974) 04-121 Def Leppard - Drastic Symphonies 04-xxx You Me at Six - Truth Decay 04-xxx Taylor Swift - folklore: the long pond studio sessions
#05 05-16 Luke Combs - Gettin' Old 05-36 Adam Lambert - High Drama 05-52 Måneskin - Rush 05-126 Far From Saints - Far From Saints 05-xxx Lovejoy - Wake Up & It's Over
Out of the top 100 wouldn't really be a shock when Rita hasn't had much streaming support at all this era, and it'll surely be low top 100 at best next week.

Posted by: JosephStyles 21st July 2023, 12:14 AM
Went to the later of her two shows for Banquet today, she never disappoints live, so much energy and her voice is just as good as it is on the studio tracks The setlist was perfection too! Not sure if the early show was the same but I guess it probably was.
1 Ritual 2 Body on Me 3 You & I 4 I Will Never Let You Down 5 Let You Love Me 6 Your Song 7 For You 8 Don’t Think Twice 9 You Only Love Me 10 Hot Right Now 11 Praising You (with a short piano rendition of the chorus of Praise You at the start) 12 Lonely Together 13 Anywhere

Just listening for the first time now - they chose horrific singles from the album, my interest on hearing the album based on those was zero but there is much better on the album.
Posted by: JulianNial 21st July 2023, 02:10 AM
I'm a huge fan of 'Unfeel It' because the lyrics resonate with me atm, plus it gives me stripped back 'I Will Never Let You Down' vibes which is never an issue in my book. A 'Single Edit' could really do it justice.
Posted by: Bjork 21st July 2023, 06:29 AM
It's gonna do 7-OUT but that's 1) the new normal and 2) more than anyone expected or predicted
the only way you do 2 weeks in the charts in albums if you have playlist streams to cushion your fall, which no one has except the bit names and certainly Rita will not have
Posted by: JosephStyles 21st July 2023, 03:50 PM
Enters at #6! Very respectable, especially considering some of the expectations on here

I wonder has the album any chance of a 2nd week top 100.disappointing it missed the top 100 here in Ireland when phoenix made number 19 and her debut number 2.

The album was so so imo but Unfeel It is such a bop, one of my faves from her in ages!

im kinda dissapointed by the album :/ phoenix is one of my fave ever albums, i still play it regularly and adore it, but this one is so... mediocre. the highlights for me are literally dont think twice and praising you i might give it another listen during the week to see if it grows on me but rn its very dissapointing. i used to love rita but her recent output has been sub par

Ngl I'm surprised it's started out in the midweek Top 100 lol.
I listened to the album the other day and it's... mostly fine. Nothing bad, but also no real high points for me. As far as I'm concerned she chose the correct songs to be the singles.

I did chuckle when I saw a poster advertisement of this on the tube which said:
"Including the hit singles 'You Only Love Me', 'Praising You (feat. Fatboy Slim)' and the new single 'Don't Think Twice'"
I think her PR team have gone way beyond the point of exaggeration there

I got the deluxe album for my birthday but I’d rather have the CD in a proper jewel case than like a book as they get scratched easily. You & I isn’t as good as Phoenix at all. However, there are some good tracks but overall the songs are lacking them magic or sparkle from the last album. I also don’t like the swearing on unfeel it. Totally unnecessary and spoils a good song.

I like how she just threw the song over some grainy wedding footage to try and salvage this flop album. I'm not sure it's really worthy of being called a "music video".

A remix of "Shape Of Me" with Keith Urban is out on the 26th. Both are currently judges on The Voice Australia.

Nice new version! Definitely one of the best songs on the album.

If not THE best song on the album. Would love it to somehow become a hit, but I know that's quixotically wishful thinking.
can't waait
. Happy to be proven wrong though!
