May 14, 20178 yr So the original lead single was a song called "Girls" featuring Charli XCX & MO :o A dancehall inspired banger!!!!! But the label wanted the Ed Sheeran song to be lead, so I'm guess that's why there was a delay. Also some more about the album: Work on the album, due out later this year, began eight months ago with Ora trawling streaming sites, noting the composers of current songs she loved and inviting them to work with her. Some she flew to Britain and put up at her own home, including the Americans Andrew Watt and Ali Tamposi, with whom she wrote Girls and Falling to Pieces, a song that features trumpet and military drums. The album certainly has scope, from a collaboration with the EDM DJ Marshmello to the grown-up, glamorous Velvet Rope: written by the Sam Smith cohorts Jimmy Napes and Sam Romans, it’s a retro ballad recorded with a full band. I think this is going to be miles better than ORA! I have high hopes seeing this list of people who worked on it. I've pinched this all from ATRL because the article is stuck behind the Sunday Times paywall :mellow:
May 14, 20178 yr Oh OF COURSE they'd drop Charli and MO for Ed bloody Sheeran :drama: I'm just glad it's actually happening now either way :lol:
May 14, 20178 yr Oh OF COURSE they'd drop Charli and MO for Ed bloody Sheeran :drama: MY FEELINGS RN i am HEARTBROKEN. she better not disappoint and the collab BETTER COME OUT!!! although tbf after a long break, i'm happy she's coming back w/ a solo
May 14, 20178 yr Gutting that a collab between three pop QUEENS was snubbed over an Ed Sheeran wrote track for lead :puke: I'm sure it'll be a banger though, judging by what we know so far! Seriously I feel like she'll be HUGE this era, it's all shaping up so well and some of the names she's got on board scream smash after smash from this album <3
May 14, 20178 yr The Charli/MØ collab will probably be my song of the year, judging by everything we've heard about it. I'm not really here for an Ed Sheeran co-write whatsoever but I'll reserve judgement until I've heard it. Bet I'll love it anyway 💁🏼♂️
May 28, 20178 yr She performed "Girls" with Charli XCX and RAYE and a new track called "Summer Love" at BBC Radio 1's Big Weekend.
May 28, 20178 yr Her 1 Big Weekend set was incredible. As a performer she handed the likes of Katy and Zara their asses on a plate. Girl slayed. Both new songs sound great but Summer Love is the huge hit surely. That perf of I Will Never has to be the best of her career. WOO RITA
May 28, 20178 yr jesus if summer love doesn't smash i GIVE UP rita is rlly giving us everything <3333
May 28, 20178 yr im listening to girls again and the studio of this could easily go straight into my top 10 of this year I LOVE IT GIVE IT TO US SOON RITA
May 28, 20178 yr Omg yeeeeesss at Rita's comeback, why did it take so long :( I love her tbh, she is so nice in terms of personality and she always brings it musically too!! Her look was quite something too but she pulled it off *-* It gave me Whoopi Goldberg teas :lol: I really enjoyed that set, my highlights being I Will Never Let You Down (still her best song!) and Coming Home was very nice too. Both new songs sounded good too, more so Summer Love which sounds like a hit single to my ears!! I'm still kind of gutted that we never got Get A Little Closer in studio form though, I know that I would have ADORED that :wub: :( I heard Hot Right Now on the radio the other day and it still completely goes OFF, what a banger! Was a great way to end a great set.
May 28, 20178 yr Author What a set! :wub: 'Girls' was my favourite of the two new songs, but I love both already. 'I Will Never Let You Down' NEVER fails to bring a smile to my face! :wub:
May 28, 20178 yr Summer Love is a banger omg! I'm not even a Rita fan tbh and I'm exciited for this era.
May 28, 20178 yr 'Girls' is amazing. Can't wait to hear the studio version of that. Charli ❤️ Hopefully we'll hear something about the album soon. She looked amazing as well. She's so stunning.
