She picked the singles in the correct order tbh, the rest of the album is disappointing, don't get the love for Radioactive, loving Young, Single and Sexy!

Not getting the hate towards this album, tbh. It's a little faceless/generic for the most part, yeah but I think it works, purely because it's a debut album and that she's trying to find the sound that works for her. If she's like this still by album 3, then I won't be pleased and I'll give up with her. I'm really liking 'Roc' The Life', 'Radioactive' and 'Been Lying' the most so far but the rest of them sound like genuine growers. It's a good debut I think, not as great as she has potential to be, but still good enough imo.

It's not a fantastic album by any means- but going by the reviews on here I was expecting far worse.
'Radioactive', 'Young, Sexy & Free' and 'Been Lying' are fantastic and I really like 'Roc The Life', 'Shine Ya Light', 'Hi, Hello, Goodbye' and 'Facemelt'. The only songs I'm not liking at the moment are 'Crazy Girl' and 'Roc The Life' plus that terrible, terrible duet with Will.I.Am. |

She's said in an interview Shine Ya Light is the next UK single, not Radioactive. Meh, I like Shine Ya Light but Radioactive is SCREAMING for release....

I much prefer Shine Ya Light over Radioactive, so I'm happy with that.
The album is nowhere near as bad as many people are saying here but I agree with how she's yet to find her own sound, but that will come with time. |

It's not really surprising it's the highest non-single from the album (is it actually higher than album versions of the singles?) as Deluxe Tracks tend to be cherry picked more as people buy the standard album (for a cheaper price). The surprising thing about it is, just how high it actually is. Usually they are lucky to make top 50. But she's reached #37 with it! Not a bad thing either as it's fantastic.

I agree I dont get the hate
 I know I am a big Rita Ora fan but I myself can stand up and say OK it isnot the most amazing album in the world but it deffo isnot the worst album ever made. My faves would have to be: How We Do (party), R.I.P, Radioactive, Uneasy, Shine Ya Light & Young, Single & Sexy.

This album was really just everything I expected it to be. A pleasant enough way to spend 40 minutes, but it's nothing spectacular. It's very faceless and very generic, but I don't think she ever presented an image of anything other than that. Songs are decent enough for the most part, perhaps a little hit and miss here and there. I won't be rushing back to most of them admittedly.
Most of my frustrations with her are about how devoid of personality everything is. Even her vocals seem lifeless most of the time. She's got three #1 singles and all I know of her is that she's afraid of toilets, apparently. She's being put forward as the British Rihanna, and I really don't think we needed one. 'Hot Right Now' is the highlight, which is perhaps a little unfortunate since it isn't technically her song. 'Radioactive' is being over hyped a little, but it's still one of the best there. 'How We Do (Party)' is still bloody annoying, and 'Fall In Love' is just hilariously bad. |

I've been meaning to give this album a spin all week because I have liked (to some degree) the three number 1 singles she's been involved with. I think what's put me off most is the most common feedback seems to be that it's a very generic and faceless album. I don't mind the odd faceless generic fun pop record (like How We Do) but a whole album of this kind of stuff really would put me off. I was hoping she'd go down the route of R.I.P and do something a bit edgy and fierce but that doesn't seem to be the case.
I'm also not a fan of the album name... I think she should have just called it "Rita Ora" or something else completely. The artwork is alright but it reminds me of something Rihanna would do better. Anyway, I'll try to give it a spin with an open mind some point this week! |

I've had this album for a little over a week now. So I think imma give a rate...
07.0 'Facemelt' 09.0 'Roc The Life' 10.0 'How We Do (Party)' 09.0 'R.I.P.' (feat. Tinie Tempah) 11.0 'Radioactive' 08.0 'Shine Ya Light' 07.5 'Love & War' (feat. J. Cole) 06.0 'Uneasy' 02.0 'Fall In Love' (feat. Will.I.Am) 09.0 'Been Lying' (Very, very 'Doesn't Mean Anything'/'Just The Way You Are' )09.0 'Hello, Hi, Goodbye' 07.0 'Hot Right Now' (w/ DJ Fresh) 06.5 'Crazy Girl' 09.5 'Young, Single & Sexy' 08.0 'Meet Ya' (Growing on me the most. Very Jackson 5 'I Want You Back') Such a good album. That Will.I.Am duet is really bad though. |

I've just listened to some of the album (ignoring songs that I remembered to be godawful first time around), and I'm still not sold on it. There are some good songs on there (mainly the singles), but it doesn't really show off what she's capable of and every song seems to be of a different genre (not helped by the fact that the three leading singles are completely different to one another).
"Roc the Life" is actually quite a good song after a few listens - the hook is good, if a bit repetitive. "Radioactive" isn't brilliant, neither is "Shine Ya Light" (the chorus is decent, but the chant before and after it and the verses aren't very good). I'm not sure if there will even be another hit from this though. |

Uh-oh, she's treding worldwide as Rita Whora... Rob Kardashian is claiming she's cheated on him with over 20 different men.

He's a Kardashian though... Bleh. Clearly not good for her image and stuff though
 I hate it when people get personal like this on twitter and stuff just to get in the headlines/create whatever buzz they need to get a kick. Stuff like that should be personal and I think it's a pretty cheap shot from him. He should quit crying and whatever about it publically.

"I get that drunk sex feeling" She's gonna cringe singing those lyrics in future. It's a shame, I think she's a talent who seems like a nice girl, her image is now in tatters though. WTF was she thinking going with Rob Kardashian anyway, he's the American Peter Andre but with less talent and less dignity. He's nothing special to look at either, weird. It'll be interesting to see her reaction!

Is a famous female sleeping with lots of people whilst working themselves well up in the industry really that noteworthy? I'm surprised it doesn't come out more often really, I'm sure there are many people who've sucked a lot of important cock to get where they are!

This news is GOOD. I hope she never gets a hit single again.
