Rita Ora is wasting no time building on her ever-growing buzz.
Fresh from scoring her fourth consecutive UK top 10 with ‘Shine Ya Light’, the Roc Nation star is pushing on with new single ‘Radioactive’ as well as her second album (which we hear will dub as her first Stateside collection).
Watch below as the 21 year old talks to KISS FM about the video for ‘Radioactive’ and the recording process for her sophomore set (which commences in January) below…

wait….shes gonna START recording the 2nd album in jan? wasnt it supposed to be released “early 2013″? guess they was gonna release uk versin of ORA with some rejected tracks added for the us version but decided that would flop worse.
so…..like i thought, ANOTHER pushback to summer or late 2013. no way she gonna finish in enough time to release in feb or mar.
meanwhile, the chick she was supposed to replace has her 12th #1 single and is looking to have a #1 album next week.

This second album will not get released and she will be dropped. They want to drop her, but Beyonce is funding a second rihanna type unapologetic LP, to hang in there.

You did say yesterday that they are scared of how well unapologetic done and with Lady Gaga and Kesha on their way, She will drop an album in fall of next year – IF! she ever gets a hit in the USA, and if not ( more than likely ) She will push bakc again and again till she is finally dropped.

This just confirms Rihanna implication in her craft as a song writer and executive producer. Rihanna is IRREPLACEABLE. Rihanna brings those songs to life with her unique voice, accent, and ‘swag’ (yes RIRI sings with a unique ‘swag’).

Rita Ora does not have publishing credit on writing Radioactive with Sia…I wonder why she would say she does Lol. She seems more like a groupie, always talking about the “celebrities” that she has partied with–instead of being a real star. Poor girl. She needs some guidance and a personality change for her next album. Rita has a lovely voice, but needs to be marketed better with a revamp on her image if she wants to be a top international pop star.

Where the hell do they think Rihanna came from??? It was just like this. Starting pushing and pushing, and even if she barely has decent chart success, more pushing and promo, and every year… till the thing works moderately well. They must be under 15 and they started to care about music when Rihanna was already famous and they think she raised to superstardom cos her greatness and cos people instantly loved her LMAO This is not Mariah, Alicia, Whitney, Xtina, even talentless Britney and their epic and impacting debuts, this is mediocrity pushed: Rihanna and Rita Ora for you

^5 @ Johnvidal – Rihanna was about to get dropped until her people snagged S.O.S. If Christina Milian has not passed on that single, Rihanna wouldn’t have had the chance to move forward AND if Brit & Mary J had not passed on UMBRELLA where do you think her career would be?
You Rhi fans despise Rita because she was set up as a pawn to get Rhi “back in line” by her label. She’s a young girl just starting out and I hope she records a monster single so ya’ll can stop swinging off her tits hating her for no reason.

Beyonce give it up. Stop being scared of Rihanna. She is here to stay and you just have to deal with it. If beyonce is so talented, why is scared as fuck of Rih? Beyonce is too scared to release her LP after seeing what unapologetic done all over the world. So now she is sending Rita back into the studio to fund another attempt to copy rih. Trust me, Beyonce will drop in 2013. She scared that Unapolpgetic will bump all next year, so she going back to this Rita Thing. Rita IS NOT A STAR – SHE IS LOCAL GIRL WHO SINGS FROM THE UK AND THAT IS ALL. SHE DID THIS LAVISh SHOWcase ion paris, where is ORA in france chart?
Why does Beyonce need to hide behind this white girl? Why is she so scared of Rih? SMH at Beyonce using Rita Ora .

Who noticed that Esther Dean and Makeba riddick were practically dropped from Rihäs new album, after bigging up Rita Ora on twitter. Poor dat. Unapologetic VS ORA? How stupid could those black women be? Know which side your bread is butter, before you run your mouth. Esther Dean and Makeba Riddick were all on twitter on Rita nuts, back in Feb, when they thought she would dethrone Rih ( they were secretly jealous ) But it did not work and now they are left without a job. Rih was how they paid their mortgage and they done piss her off, by co signing a flop clone? I hope they enjoy not making money from unapologetic – her biggest LP.

Copy Rihanna again and drop an album in 6 months, just to keep your name out. BUT Rih had a #2 hit on her first CD. Jay is gonna Tearria Marrie this chick.
