Biography

If there is a sense when Rita Ora walks into a room that a star has already been ordained from above then nobody appears to have told the young Londoner and future pop princess herself. She has not an air or a grace about her. She greets the bar staff dotted in the hostelries of her neighborhood like old friends, mostly because they are. She bumps knuckles with the coat check chicks and ... Read more in Amazon's Rita Ora Store

3.0 out of 5 stars some good some bad 18 Sep 2012
By James Basham
Format:Audio CD
The good songs on this album are great, but unfortunately theres quite a lot of filler material, a lot of which is a bit dull and very skippable.

The album opens with FACEMELT, which is by far the best track on the album. My only complaint is is its too short. Its only 1:30 minutes and just abruptly ends. Needs to be turned into a full length track. Its an edgy grimey song with a lot of attitude.

ROC THE LIFE is pretty good, which is followed by, HOW WE DO, RIP, RADIOACTIVE, and SHINE YA LIGHT. These being the otehr set of best tracks on the album. A poor choice bunching all the best tunes together and then having the latter half of the album slow down and get boring. HELLO HI GOODBYE, is a nice ballad but features this very irritating dee dee dee dee dee type of noise on loop. You will know what i mean when you hear it.

The album then closes with the DJ Fresh tune HOT RIGHT NOW. Not technically a rita ora song, but nonetheless a fantastic tune, and one of my fave drum n bass tracks of the year.

On the whole this album is a bit of a mish mash of different styles and doesnt really flow that well. the good songs are very good though and its defo worth a listen. lookin forward to the next album.

i hope shine ya light is the next single. ive heard rumours its gonna be radioactive, but shine ya light is much better.

3.0 out of 5 stars I expected a lot more 9 Sep 2012
By Janice Mbazima
Format:Audio CD
I was excited about Rita and I still am, I love the texture in her voice, it think she has a lot more vocal range than she is show casing and I think she has room to grow and gain more octaves and sonically go in many directions. I expected a lot more vocal range and better song choice, high expectations and then you get blah. Some songs are very nicely done and well sung, I'm just tired of hearing the same old thing over and over again. R.I.P was very good just because the song title isn't what the song is about and I like the mix of fast beat over slower singing, something different. She has an amazing voice and she could have sung a signature song that would set her apart. Like Brandy, Monica, AKeys, they Mary J, I know she isn't up there but from the jump they had a sound that was their own, you know a certain sound or song that you know you get from them, that sets them apart Usher is a great example, Anthony Hamilton Musiq SoulChild list goes on Lyfe Jennings. I'm just saying setting yourself apart from the start, she's being compared to Rihanna I would think that ticks her off and would do all she could to set herself apart from her from album 1.

4.0 out of 5 stars Not a masterpiece, 27 Aug 2012
By CSH
Format:Audio CD
So don't expect amazing lyrics, perfect vocal pitches and amazing songs, but...

The songs are all catchy and Rita has a lovely voice. Bar the first song "Facemelt", there isn't a single song you need to skip. The songs all carry a nice message and are upbeat and well-sung. My personal favourities are "Roc The Life", "Radioactive", "How We Do", "Been Lyin" and "Hot Right Now". These are the catchiest, most upbeat songs on the album and all the potential singles.

The other songs are pleasant, but they feel a little like filler tracks and can be a tiny bit repetitive. The main reason for this, is Rita hasn't written most of these songs or contributed to the writing in any way. And, because of that, it feels more like the work of a singer rather than an artist. There is something missing.

Thankfully, that something is very minor and we must remember this s a debut album and an outstanding first attempt. Nothing new is covered here and this feels like a Rihanna-meets-Nicki-meets-Gaga-meets-JessieJ...it lacks personality on the whole. But occasionally, Rita shines through and she is amazing.

The album is great for exercising to and I am sure it will be a grower! Well done, Rita!

My only issue is that she needs to find her own personality and develop a little. But, practice makes perfect. In some ways. This feels like a Rihanna-inspired album. I love Rihanna, but I feel this is very similar in style. Too similar.

But Rita's voice shines through and is lovely to listen to. I think you should buy tha because you won't regret it! It want be a firm favourite, but is pleasant and will keep your need for music satisfied for a while.
