Today, in a bid to generate buzz for the project, she unveiled what is believed to be its cover and hinted at a possible UK release date.
More juice below…

I love it!
WTF i am the only who thinks this look like it was done on picnikcom. i can’t even.
I love it!!!
Guess she joined the Illuminati!
She is signed to Roc Nation, what did you expect
This looks like a rejected version of Rihanna’s TTT deluxe album cover. Roc and Rita need to do better. I know that originality isn’t her strong suit but considering that she doesn’t even have a recognizable name or “brand” outside of the US she needs to really step it up with the material on this album unless she just wants to be written off as”that chick who I think can sing but she looks like a bad, overly made up version of Rihanna.”
No, it looks like Rater R – wait….You are right, The Black and white headshots are the type Rihanna uses. She is one of few singers in this day and age to do Black and white headshot.
Oh dear, this girl has a sick obsession. I think Jay Z ONLY signed Rita to make Rih jealous. This girl is talented , artistic or original.
Eve the white logs – even Perez Hilton is saying he is not feeling this Rihanna wannabe.
Has there ever been a singer who has been ripped of from the songs, accent ( she tries to talk patois on twitter ) to clothes, swag, hair, LP cover, whining on satge, to love of dancehall, to men, etc.
I have never seen this happen in the music industry before.
Rita is already speaking patois, doing reggae version of Somebody That I use to know and whining ( white girl whine )
Soon….she she will get beat up by Rob Kardashian – is Rob her Chris brown? Rob K has not got anything of Chris brown.
Guess what? Rita wants to do movies
This is not a singer- this is a Rihanna tribute act.
She even sings Rihanna songs.
B**** what is your f****** problem. i’m a rihanna stan but do you really need to replyon everyone comment. m************ like you make rihanna look bad thus people get tired of her..which is why people got sick of beyonce because of stan ass m************ like you. get grip.. it’s not that serious. rihanna ain’t going any where take it easy nigz.
If you do not like it…..I know what you can do…….YOU CAN FUCC OFF!
I have just seen TTT, you are right.
Make this stop. !
you guys need to stop being so insecure
I meant outside of the UK by the way…just to clear that typo up without jumping into all of this other drama lol.
Illuminati….surprise
Eye of Horus
C’mon b**** everyone knows that symbol
And why does this look like a rihanna rejected album cover
Be original!
Rejected Rihanna album cover to match the ejected Rihanna song: RIP
She eve tried to copy Rihanna’s best dressed approved 2012 custom Armani black grammy dress. Rita cheap version and tried to copy the pose. But she is too short for the dress and has a flat ass. Rih has supermodel height and a black girl booty.
That girl is 5ft3 in heels and has no ass…….
I feel like she should have let her face and makeup do its job. I wouldn’t personally opt for that as an album cover. It’s her world though.
there’s an “L” missing and a better image to make her climb up faster.
LOL LOL This looks like Rater R. This girl wants to be Rihanna. She does not want to be an artist. Remember when Americans where pissed off that Jessie J wanted to be Katy Pery ? They ran Jessie J back to the uk. There is only one Kate Perry – and that is the American one.
Well, we have another UK act dying to be an american act. And it does not even look as good as Rihanna.
funnily enough jessie j and rita ora talent wise > katy perry and rihanna.
lol They all suck ass so I don’t see your point
@Kelly. The problem is that Americans always want to compare m***********. You guys can’t just let someone be. All of the Navy are acting like Beyonce, Janet, Madonna and all the other female acts out there haven’t had black and white covers with a facial close up. Other women did have album covers before Rihanna, stop acting the like Rihanna was the first and last to do this s***
COPY CAT, but GOOD LUCK to her anyway i dont see her in the Lane of Beyonce or Rihanna she is clone!!!
Rita Ora is not an artist. She is a Stan possessed. This is the dangerous pop culture we live in.
Whatever Rihanna ‘ has ‘ Jay Z must miss it badly………….. Look how homeboy is acting ! Even found a stan a worst than Stan himself.
This is THE FOURTH OF JULY-THE INDEPENDENCE DAY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA (which we fought for AGAINST her precious UK).
Unless she gives an AMERICAN release date, I’m NOT supporting her.
so Kellly are u gonna go to every music /gossip blog to do this or were u just assigned to TGJ ?
Truth hurts. I do not give a fuxx what you think. I will have my say. It is a public blog. If u do not like – go elsewhere.
PS: You seem quite on this LP cover why? Even you know, deep down that this is a cheap rip off of Rated R and TTT LP covers.
Rh is the only singer of the facebook generation that has doing LP covers like this. Now this stan is doing it too ……And they say Rih is copying her.
I am waiting for Rob Kardashian to beat her up – Oh wait! did they not have a fight, but TMZ did not care, as no one is checking for rita.
im done with u. obviously this mission to smear Rita’s name in dirt is very important to u. I hope rihanna’s camp at least compensates u
I knew you could not answer the question.
Rita has done smeared her won name….that is what happens when you try and imitate an A lsiter – and YES! wheter your bitter ass likes it or not…….RIH is A list.
Also, You keep going on that Rita will slay Rihanna…If that is so, Why cant Rita slay : Emeli Sandie, Elle Goulding Tulisa, Jessie J, Adele. Cher, Cheryl, Rebecca Ferguson. Pixie Lott – the girls in the UK?
Let Rita become the biggest thing to come out of the UK, before she eve tries to get on RIh 80 million sold level.
Sit your ass down hater!
Yeah now KELLY IS supposed to be smearing
rita’s name you worthless loose booty old ass
drag queens and old haggs who have left bey’s
ass for some fresh air on the forth of july can
kiss Keyyl’s ass and the nave and all the people
with good sense if you can’t stand KELLY TELLING
it like it is then find you a tall cliff and take a phucking
dive and forever STFU…..
PS
Tell it kelly till you get enough and the bee hive can
quietly phuck off because this rita chick can’t hold
a candle to Ms Piggy less and own Rih, Rih.
I don’t see any similarities with Rihanna’s ‘TTT’ or ‘RR’. Rihanna is not the first artist to use black and white headshots. I don’t think she’s copying anybody tbh. Besides, it’s just an album cover…
In terms of singers of this generation. She was. Madonna did something similar back in the 80’s/
But from 2000’s Rih and the iconic Ellen von unwerth came up this concept. Of course the stan had to copy. She could not do a Katy perry type, it had to be Rih!
Beyonce’s IASF album has a black n white cover and b4 u get messy it was released in 2008 b4 rated r
It did not have the edgy red writing. Rih and Ellen Von Unweth came up with the contrast. So now what!
LP covers are very important…..that is why they are the LP covers and not back picture.
she looks gorgeous!!! i wish Rihanna’s stans would stop being so insecure.
Tell Rita to stop being insecure and be her. God only made one RIH and Rita has to be secure and accept that. She cannot keep copying Rih every move.
http://www.google.com/imgres?q=rated+r+album+pictures&
This is the front cover for the song Hard. Black and white pictures – RED bold writing. This was 2009
2012 Rita Ora: black picture – red writing.
Why cant Rita close her mouth its like that in every promo pic and its not workin for you b****….close that s*** h**! its like an invisible d*** workin her mouth in that pic….b**** BYE !
Oh, and I forgotl. RIP is a song that Rihanna rejected. Of course the stan chose a Rihanna Reject song.
Looks like it was made on a iPhone
Stop it with this illuminati it’s getting OLD, People !!!
oF COURSE it was made with an Iphone. Rihanna use the legend, Ellen Von unwerth to take her picture. Do u think that wrinkly wannabe can get iconic photographers to take her pics?
Dear TGJ,
How comes you are not doing a story on yet another white boy MC dissing alexandra Burke. Tulisa cousin, Dappy has done a song dissing Alexandra Burke, Alexandra was so upset, she was sreaming on twitter and ran off to Mexico.
This is the second white rapper that has publicly dissed her. Remember when Example went HAM on her?
LOL LOL
why is he dissing her???
Everyone hates Alexandra in the UK. Mainly the white people. Radio 1 Dj and producers went HAM on her to, even saying she will end up back in the gutter.
Lmaoooooo Rihanna stans are PRESSED! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahha I really can’t Rita is still a rookie and they threatened by her its so obvious
It is not that. Rih fans do not have a problem with Katy, Taylor, Gaga, brit etc fans….why? Because those womem do not talk about Rih or try and be like. Katy Perry never came saying she is going to be as big as Rih.
This girl. Rita, is trying to be Rih; she talks about her; sings her songs; tweest suspect things about hers; says she can be as big Rih.
That is why she is getting backlash – even Perez hilton and readers of the daily mail and the Sun – AKA white people. Not just Rih fans. Everyone can see Rita is a Rih wannabe. THat is why.
Read teh commest on on the Sun or Daily mail…..it is not just Rih fans.
Rita should not have gone on youtube and sand We found love, then saying she would love to sing Rih song. It came across as very desperate and was sign of jealousy.
Things like that make the Rih fans take notice…….Rih never came on the scene singing Crazy in love or Bill bill bills did she!
Beyonce had the black and white head shot to lol Rihanna fans are wht you call PRESSED just cus “ORA” slays TTT Rated R GGGB etc rihanna has not had a GREAT cover yet O_o “ORA” looks amazing what rihanna cover was never good
Have you heard ORA tracklist? The reviews from the music magazines call How we do Rihanna ish type song and RIP was rejected by Rih.
Rihanna was voted the most sexiest woman alive by esquire – the only other black woman to have that was Halle. So for u to say Rih has never had a god looking cover and Ora looks better is laughable. I know u do really believe that.
cheap ass cover, cheap ass music
You my boy you need professional help I think Rita got herself a stalker!! Rihanna created s*** Remember when she was the z grade beyonce? How she copied bey (baby boy . If its loving that u want) b**** she was a clone…. Then she started doing the Grace jones thing (GGGB) then she went All Black Madonna us…. You coming for others Rihanna doesn’t even have an a musical identity she a trend jumper she jumps on trends…..
Beyonce fans think everyone copies her when she copies anyone. The only jacking during the GGGB Era was from Beyonce ,she got accused!
THAT IS SO TRUE THEY WERE TRYIN TO MARKET HER AS BEYONCE CLONE.
Beyonce copies everyone so there was no point in using her as an example.
So I guess what we are getting at is every star tries to copy someone!!! I like rita ora she seems like a nice girl and not like a dirty w****. Not saying that I hate rihanna but most of her songs are dirty and she just looks like w**** ….
Everyone wanna stay “STFU about illuminati” but what is it? Why does everyone in Roc Nation cover one eye?
This looks like the album cover of Rihanna’s Talk That Talk. Anyway good luck to her.
Am I the only one who noticed that her album cover channels Rihanna’s “Talk That Talk” but minus the smoke…?! O_o
This is… Okay I guess
Wasn’t she signed 3 yrs ago? And Party is flopping in the US. I guess that’s why she’s only sucking the UK’s d***..
It will out sell Music of the Sun 😀
I love Rihanna, but it probably won’t, even if it does, that isn’t an acheivment.
Looool thats my BIRTHDAY. Leggoooo
This whole “one eye” symbolism is so blatant n redundant now
rihhh is that you???
#LMAO!
No its the “made in britan” version!
Rihanna needs to take her mind off of Rice cake and kick this chicks ass instead. Jacking her swag like no tommorrow. Oh and when I say ass, I mean that space where ases are supposed to be because Rita has none.
What in the f**k is this cover who approved this deer in headlights look. And the one eye covered…no words.
What is it with the one eye promo shots. It seems like the music industry are doing lots of shots with one ye symbols wtf?
STFU HATERS. Rita is a GENIOUS! I saw this right after I sent Hay-z my demo “Ron” and I was like WOW great minds think alike. I also copy someone, I decided to Be the next chris brown. BRBR BEATING MY GIRLFREIND HALF TO DEATh!
Cute Go ahead Rita !!
Rihanna wannabe…. this b**** need to be original for once…… she has been stealing rihannas cloths now album cover…. fake people don’t last….
B**** pls be real….
That Grape Juice…..! I ask of you to PLEASE STOP using phrases like this in your post–> Today, in a bid to generate buzz for the project <–Stop making fans, supporters and/or consumers feel like they are being massaged, intentionally influenced, marketed, and all the others terms sales/persuasive people use to describe their method of getting ppl to buy. Although it's the rules of the game, let these artist share their art w/out you guys revealing the business side of it. We know it's a campaign so you don't have to remind us every time there's a release of some sort. Your wording as it pertains to this topic is soooooo… unattractive and makes the artist looks thirsty. It's counterproductive… . However, I do like this site and how it's always on cutting edge with entertainment news… just work on that. Plz and thank you!
one of your frequent vistors.
That can’t be real. Her and Chris Brown got the same ghetto stan to “Design” this coverlandia ass s***. LEGGO
PS RIHANNA COPIED FROM RITA ORA AND FE FE DOTSON ….DO YA THING RITA CUTE PIC BOO.
Is Rihanna to re-releasing Talk That Talk, i didn’t know.
yeah , talk that talk: reloaded
HAha i can’t haha.
Must buy album
It perplexes me when Rita fans say Rihanna copied her with talk that talk, (which was written the latest august 2011, and all the promo shots were taken in September.)
I mean some people thaught that is true when they wore the same hat. But after rita copied her coachella shirt, Jonathan ross shirt, random pants, style, song, music video boyfreind, and all the other s*** your argument sucks!
Why is Rita speaking Patois? She even has a reggae version of goyte song and she has an umbrella. It is called shine your light, complete with the eh eh eh . What is going with Rita?
We are all waiting for the ultimate Rihanna move: Famous BF beating her up, pictures on TMZ.
Nice album cover rita.swagger jack riri cos its working at least u got a uk number 1 with a so called riri rejected track.my question to haters is,How come a so called carbon copy(rita)is better than the so called original(riri)?.Haters are feeling threatened because they know that very soon riri would be historih.
So why is Rita flopping in the biggest market in the world: THE USA?
Rih is on the front cover of Harpers bazaar – the black woman this year to cover a high fashion mag and she is in a new movie with seth roger, plus an new spielberg movie. She has a new fashion show on Sky in the UK, She is on the front cover of UK esquire – the black woman to have that , she is still the face of Armani – the first black girl to have that and she is working on a new LP. She will also be performing at the womes world cup, japan music festival and she HEADLINES the wireless. She is only 24.
Not bad for someone who is history. Rita is most likely to be dropped by the end of the year, due to poor album sales.
I am not sure if you are black or white. If you are black, you should be happy for Rih and rooting for her. She is the only black WOMAN TO COVER HIGH FASHION MAGAZINES in the world. They are not putting black women on high fashion magazines, same with mens magazines So when Rih gets this gigs, as black woman, be happy.
It is not easy living in a world that ignores or thinks black women are ugly. You can bg up Rita all u like, but she is a blonde white girl.
in 2012 – and for most of the year, there have been no black women on the front of major magazines. Rihanna has repped for us sisters. There has not even been a black woman on a mens magazine since Rihanna esquire and Zoe Saldana GQSpain.
Rep a sister.
i liked it. so rihanna-ish , even the colors used in the TTT’s singles are used.
i like. u go rhanna 🙂
@pop, I thought that you didn’t stan for Rihanna any more (after she started getting real messy wid CB)? Didn’t you jump ship and move over to the Beehive?
Real question, not throwing shade!
i am Not in any fanbase , I’m free. i can be with rih now and leave her tomorrow. i am not here for her BS after that pic with strippers she posted in twitter.
the whole thing is a no big deal u know. i will never be with the beyhive as well , they are just too much , but i respect Bey as a performer , ONLY as a performer and i like some of her songs. just that.
You 3 Rita Whorea stans can eat crow before the album even drops. The cover is a mess. Her 3 singles are all flops. Wasn’t “Party” supposed to snatch Rihanna’s wig? Meanwhile “Where Have You Been” her 4th (5th?) single slays.
Bunch Of Haters Here, SMFH!
Go Rita!
this have nothing to do with hating. but as soon as i saw the pic the only thing that come to my mine was Rated R. yesterday pic she trying to do the tug life. really girl don’t let it be so obvious .
-_- Close your mouth rita! I mean it’s like how many damn pictures are you going to take with your f****** mouth open.
One eye illuminati yes yes we know
Jay Brainwashing Rita already
Big brother luciferian Jay Z Roc Nation Devil worshipper’s are watching
We’re watching you too buddy
Resistance is Victory!
i do see a similarity between ttt deluxe album cover and this one, but rita is covering one eye and is not smoking. i am still waiting for the album though, i want to see the deluxe edition if there is one.
ohh stfu RiRi fans…ughh doo yu know how many times rihhana coppied beyonce, then Madonna then Lady GaGa i mean just do ur math N timming and weell maybe its just a myth that artist get 2nd coming of themselfs after some yrs….
Ritas and Rihanas Album dont even look the same! Are you all BLIND???? The only thing the same is there mouths are both opend…. BIG DEAL alot of stars have there mouth opened in a VID……………..
