After a taste of success featuring on the #1 hit single with DJ Fresh ‘Hot Right Now’, sensational singing star Rita Ora has managed to land her first solo #1 with her debut track 'R.I.P'.
The perfect combination of Rita’s stunning vocal mixed with ‘R.I.P’s roll call of writer and producers has created a smash hit for the Kosovan-born star in the making, and has officially become one of the fastest-selling singles of 2012 – meaning Rita is the first artist to have two #1 records in the UK this year. Written by Young Money superstar Drake, produced by dubstep lords Chase & Status and pop powerhouse duoStargate and featuring the prince of UK hip hop Tinie Tempah, ‘R.I.P’ is currently the hottest single in the UK.
Earlier this week Rita celebrated the release of ‘R.I.P’ at London’s exclusive jewellers Asprey and was joined by Pixie Geldof, Harry Potter actress Bonnie Wright,Twilight’s Jamie Campbell-Bower and was presented with a beautiful bouquet of flowers from Tinie Tempah himself. Also in attendance were the London Ambassadors of Kosovo and Albania to toast to Rita’s success.
At live performances, Rita is pairing up with DJ Fresh once again to support him on his UK tour which she will follow up by joining rock giants Coldplay on their own European tour this summer, as well as hitting the line up for some of the UK’s biggest festivals – such as T in the Park and Lovebox.
