February 6, 20214 yr I like the sounds of the preview. Looking forward to hearing this after the last singe (can't remember what it was called) was just so damn disappointing.
February 7, 20214 yr Rita needs to really push hard and take all promotional opportunities she can to make the new material perform in the charts.
February 8, 20214 yr I think big will be placed on TTH since it has 4 artists on it. They need radio support.
February 10, 20214 yr She’ll be performing “bang bang” its seem weird since OCC said “big” will serve as the lead single from the EP.
February 11, 20214 yr Author Here's what the OCC have to say about "Big" - https://www.officialcharts.com/chart-news/r...preview__32415/ Big sounds like its title suggests – it’s an opulent, lavish party anthem with lyrics about designer brands, diamonds, and being a 'bad bitch'. A mood. “Blame it on the city how I’m ballin’” Rita sings to open the track, which oozes confidence and grandeur across its two-and-a-half minutes of thumping house production from Imanbek and David Guetta. Rita’s vocals shine on the pre-chorus “Midnight, come get right, on this side”, a line that signifies what Big is simply all about – having a good time to anthemic music. We too wouldn’t mind "riding the bass like a trolley" either Rita. Gunna pops up for the middle eight, his signature mumble-rap styling adds another dimension to the song and partners well with Rita’s fast-paced rap-singing flow in the choruses. Big is a sure-fire floorfiller, so let’s just hope dancefloors can soon safely be filled and we can hear Rita, Imanbek and friends blasting from the speakers.
February 11, 20214 yr Author OH MY GOD 'Bang Bang' samples 'Blue (Da Ba Dee)' by Eiffel 65 :cheeseblock: https://music.apple.com/nz/album/bang-ep/1550946614
February 11, 20214 yr Author Had a listen to them all, and I think 'Big' is probably the weakest of them all (as well as 'Weak') :/ it sounds a bit generic. I really like 'Bang Bang' though and 'The One' is also solid!
February 11, 20214 yr Well, I did not expect to hear Axel F being sampled by Rita Ora!! It actually really works though lmao I'm going to disagree with WhoOdyssey and say "Big" is the best one though. It is quite generic, but a big bop and the Gunna feature works really well.
February 11, 20214 yr Author I'm more ashamed I mixed up Eiffel 65 with Axel F :cry: I hope Big grows on me though, I'm just a bit bored of slap house already!
February 11, 20214 yr Bang Bang is horrible, the cheap use of the sample is a 0/10 Big is much better, even Gunna works well
February 11, 20214 yr I'd really like to see her get a hit, but I think she's got her work cut out to say the least.
February 11, 20214 yr Big sounds like it will be a hit! I think having the Gunna verse also works well on that. It sounds like they've put the most effort into the production and details on that track. Bang Bang also sounds good and the Axel F interpolation sounds great as it's super catchy melody in the first place. Mood is a little different but interesting with a Spanish-language rap on there and The One sounds fairly 'by numbers' for Imanbek but still sounds good! Will be interesting to see if her recent headlines will have an affect on her performance with getting radio/playlist support as it sounds like the hits are there!
