After smashing into the UK charts featuring on the Number One hit ‘Hot Right Now’, Rita Ora prepares to release her debut UK single ‘R.I.P’ on 6th May.
Rita was signed by none other than Jay Z after just one phonecall who earlier this month took her on a surprise visit to US radio station Z100 introducing his protégé to the American public.
‘R.I.P’’s roll call of writer and producers is a force to be reckoned with and marks the spot for the 21-year-old who stays true to her UK roots as well as embracing her new US family. The track that debuts on UK airwaves on Twin B’s 1Xtra show today, 29th February was written by Young Money superstar Drake, produced by dubstep lords Chase & Status and pop powerhouse duo Stargate, it also features the Prince of UK hip hop Tine Tempah. Both sides of the Atlantic have joined together to create an explosive hit.
Rita will be touring with DJ Fresh on his UK tour this summer – ‘Hot Right Now’ has received over 7 million YouTube hits to date. Fans will be able to see Rita perform live ‘R.I.P’ and her new US single ‘How We Do (Party)’ live on the following dates.
