Single Review:Rita Ora Featuring Tinie Tempah – ‘R.I.P’

The girl that is on everyone’s lips, Rita Ora, is showing even more promise with her second track ‘R.I.P’ featuring Tinie Tempah. It’s not as catchy as ‘Hot Right Now’ which has been blazing up the airwaves, but with a lyric like “R.I.P to the girl you used to see, her days are over’ it’ll no doubt it’ll hit a nerve with a lot of teenage or scorned women.

‘R.I.P’ will be released 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 on 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 that is fast making Rita the jewel in the Roc Nation crown.

No doubt with Tinie Tempah’s stamp of approval, and her stunning looks, Rita Ora will be going far in no time at all.

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.
