She’s Pop’s fastest rising star, surpassing her contemporaries to become the first debut act to enjoy three consecutive UK #1 singles.
Now, three years after signing to Jay Z’s Roc Nation, Rita Ora readies the release of her debut LP ‘ORA’ due out in British stores today.
So, with the success of its singles a positive indicator as to how the LP itself will do, That Grape Juice asks….
When ‘ORA‘ becomes available in your market…
Will you buy it?
Let us know below….

NOOOOOOOOOOOOO. BYE!
ayeeeeee SAMiGirl, s*** just got real.
I already downloaded the album 2 days ago, sorry Rita you aint getting my money, but to be honest its a decent pop effort, there are some good songs on there, like Hello Hi Goodbye, Love and War, Crazy Girl
LOL the shade
http://24.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m9fig8KJD51qh1aqwo1_1280.png
I actually think she’s talented but I feel she’s so guarded and I think she has BEYONCE to thank for that … it just makes you unrelateable … and fake ! Just open up RITA like songs like “HELLO HI GOODBYE”
Rita has a great voice, it’s shown when she does her songs acoustically but it really does not come across on the album. I won’t be buying
I’m waiting for the release in Germany. lol.. but if it will be released here, I will buy it!
NOOOO!!!
but I am waiting on Queen Rihanna’s 7th album!!!!
as sure as the sky is green
AINT NO BODY PAYING FOR TAT S***! SMH
Um.. No
Hell to the no.
no, i listen to snippet and i’m not impress. she basically doing the wrong type of music. she should of done more r&b/soul music since her voice isn’t for pop music.
Thanks you!!!! And tell that to christina aguilera
THERE IS NO WAY IN HELL MY HARD EARNED MONEY IS GOING TO BE SPENT ON THIS PIECE OF S***!!!!
LMAO what a joke !
She sings and talks like she snorts coke
it’s hard times
and I won’t be checking for anything that’s not original
well… I have’t nought any records for some years now and don’t really know who else does? Anyway I did however download this new album and it’s not bad, so far it’s 3 or 4 out of 5 stars for me.
You’re part of the reason why music is the way it is. Don’t complain about sales when you’re downloading music…
Nope, I’ll just download the s*** for free like everyone else…
I won’t even waste time downloading trash.
LMAO! Damn!
DEAD
I downloaded it and other than the singles and maybe a song or two, rest sucks. sucks for her, I was looking forward to something good.
I did the same and it is utter rubbish. UTTER! So i’m sure it will sell by the bucket loads. There is nothing original or melodic about this long set of $hit.
I await the U.S version
Nope great voice but bad music she’s just like the other products today in music she’s needs to find her own niche because right now she reminds me of Rihanna a lot!
NO !!! definitely not… When is Rihannas next album coming out??? ThatFlopJuice!
doesn’t matter how many nos she gets. She’ll still go to number one.
yeah in the uk!!!! 😀
of course she will. There is no other major release. Perfect time to release it when there is nothing hot being dropped #SCARED
no!!! she is boring !
HELL NO!!!!! SHE WILL FLOP SO HARD IN TEH US… SAM GIVE IT UP ALREADY NOBODY IS CHECKING FOR YOUR GIRL!! GET A LIFE!!
F*** THAT JUNKIE B**** THAT SHITS REDICULOUS SHE LOOKS LIKE A DIRTY STREET W**** WITH A SMELLY ASSHOLE.
I tried giving this album a fair shot. I listened and I listened again, I just couldn’t get into it…she literally sounds all over the place and it not even cohesive. U can tell its been a long process in the making and it didn’t mesh well together.
Mabe just 3-4 songs I actually remotely kinda like. Other than that! This album is worse than Alexandria Burke debut!
Constructive criticism…You speak the truth.
Who’s that m*****?
FLOPta ORA
Bye
Rita girl, I’m really trying to like you but I’m not feeling some of your song choices.
I would probably like you more if you had your own identity. Seems as if ur trying to be someone you’re not.
Unfortunately its her label who is behind her image. I agree there is no originality.
NO
Hello NO. I will buy Love & War, and Radioactive only. She has an amazing voice but most of her stuff is over produced, creating a lackluster MESS lacking cohesion.
Until she releases an album reminiscent of SPIRIT, I won’t be checking for her.
I love how you deleted the poll where Rita was getting dragged. She had about 80% NO! Record breaking!
Anyway, tbh, I’m not willing to spend any time to listen to her entire album. I’ve heard 4 songs, which are allegedly the standouts and the strongest material and I find all 4 to be weak and subpar. I think she can do much better than that. Debuts are usually meant to please the label, so I’m not writing her off just yet, but there’s no chance in hell I’m going to buy this album.
I’M NOT GONNA HATE LIKE MOST OF YOU….
BUT SORRY SAM… I KNOW SHE’S YOUR NEW FAV BUT I HAVE TO AGREE… I WILL NOT BE BUYING THE ALBUM…
FUNNY THIS IS THE FIRST TIME YOU DID NOT ADD A “POLL”
SMART MOVE!
NEVER. I DONT LIKE RITA
Its funny how every since this sorry excuse 4 an artist came out TGJ has been trying to force her down are throats and we still hate her if the illuminati is real then will they please kill her
LOL…OH HELL NO! No she isn’t doing the RihNOT, Rated R, Kanye West, V Magazine “ILLUMMINATI right eye cover” pose? Wow, really 0_O?
Although I think she has a very nice voice, her rise from litereally out of nowhere is now explained! *serious side-eye*
And let me add this! It doesn’t matter if you ppl don’t buy this chicks music the POWERS THAT BE who are backing her, will and in numbers to create the illusion of success for their new product ala Birdman/Baby and both Nicki Minaj & Drake-Evelyn.
1. Facemelt – Legit intro track, kind wished it would have been expanded into a song cause really it’s probably the best thing out of this poor album.
2. Roc’ the Life – Not bad, The-Dream produced this and it’s similar to most of his work but it’s not bad. The chorus is kind of catchy and I can see why this is the next US single. It will probably do ok? we’ll see… but it’s not bad.
3. How We Do (Party) – We already know this song.
4. R.I.P. – We already know this song.
5. Radioactive – This ain’t bad either, I think it will do better in th UK than the US but who knows. Doesn’t feel like it will be a hit at home tho.
6. Shina Ya light – S*** is s***.
7. Love & War (feat. J. Cole) – Wants to start as something good but quickly turns to s***. J. Cole cannot save this track.
8. Uneasy – I liked how this song started, had alot of promise then really like right after the first part it went to s***.
9. Fall in Love (feat. will.i.am) – At this point I will now delete EVERY song will.i.am produces and sells to another artist, he’s always the feature and the songs are never any good. This is just one of the many he has done for others that have all flopped, which is usual to his solo stuff, I choose to blame him here, not Rita, she is new.
10. Been Lying – This is s***.
11. Hello, Hi, Goodbye – which is exactly what I said to this song after a few seconds. It’s s***.
12. Hot Right Now – We already heard this song, its good! but it’s not really hers? She should have went with this vibe for the album, it’s what I was expecting anyway.
13. Crazy Girl – This ain’t bad, it’s interesting enough to allow a full listen at least. Except it gets repetitive and after a while all she is saying is “I’m Crazy” and then it just ends abruptly.
14. Young, Single & S*** – Oh God I can see this being a hit here in the US. It’s very generic and easy to listen to, kinda like Taylor Swift so expect to see this one given the single treatment. It;s very vanilla, I can name 5-6 female singers who this could have went to. Still it will probably be a hit
15. Meet Ya – This isn’t bad, it’s actually kind of catchy. I can see this having some success here and it’s really, kind of good. Doesn’t try to be anything bigger than what it is, a cute, warm and bubbly happy go lucky song. It will make people happy, its a happy song. It will get annoying.
Overall – We have already listened to the best of “Ora” maybe a couple other songs that are at best average to ok. She’s under Jay-Z so I’m sure we will have a re-release in the next coming months or s*** a brand new album!
Loved yo comment, and how you did the run down,
all of the people not going to buy her music is not
helping Jayz make it to that Billionaire and you all
know Jay is pissed off at yo asses for not buying.
and keeping him richer than country butter yall had
better Represent , now.
And there is no voice. Even if the LP is wack ( it is ) at least she could murder with vocals. I mean, listen to Tammi Terelle or Teena Marie – Melanie Fiona they sang to church and back. She cannot sang. She can just about sing.
This is so sad. Every comment on here is a no..Not that I disagree but damn Rita, this isn’t a good look. I wonder what her label thinks after reading all these comments….
The thing that truly PISSES ME OFF about Rita is that she has the talent to make it far but she isn’t letting her TRUE ARTISTIC INVENTIONS AND MUSICALITY SHINE.
Her voice is wonderful and she is an extremely good-looking woman but she isn’t going to appeal to ANYTHING and ANYONE by doing, exclusively, Pop/Dance/Euro-Pop/Euro-Dance/Electro-Pop/Dubstep and Electronic Dance Music.
Damn, I just MOTHER-F****** CANNOT with these talented singers, who just to taste a slice of fame, end up going down the generic route, strip naked, over-sexualize their image all for the sake the sake of a #1 song, album and a name for themselves.
FOR F*** SAKES!!!
RITA, YOU STUPID B****, GET IT TOGETHER PLEASE. DOING WHAT YOU’RE CURRENTLY DOING AND CONTINUOUSLY LIVING OFF OF THE RIHANNA/GWEN STEFANI/DEBBIE HARRY-ESQUE, RETRO-DRAG IMAGE WILL NOT GET YOU ANYWHERE. BE DIFFERENT. RELEASE A R&B/SOUL ALBUM – LET YOUR VOICE SHINE.
*SMH*
PREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEACH!!!
Gon’ head BOY!!!
U BETTER LET US KNOW THAT S***!!!
😉 😉 😉
@JAKE Very good read!
Its so unfortunate that thatgrapejuice has caused everyone to HATE rita due to the constant unceccsary shade in posts that aren’t related to rihanna at all
B*******! the navy would have hated her anyway. they hate her as MUCH as they do because they keep seeing her on this website and would rather not see her at all.
hating ass no number one album having goat headed s*** b******.
The navy was only commenting to the NEGATIVE Vibes that
carefully injected Rihanna’s name into the mix. You know that the navy most of the time tries to be, Bias and give others a fair shake just like “That Grape” does with Rihanna lol. But at the end of the day PEOPLE already have one RIHANNA and that one is more then enough. This chick need to be herself and forget about trying to be a black Caribbean, because the “Caribben” job has been filled
already and there’s Shonella bring it up the rear in case nobody knew. Fans can make are break a career, watch what i am saying and this chick signed with Roc Nation in’2009.
NO!
No…
NOPE DOWNLOADED IT LAST WEEK NEVER HEARD HER MUSIC JUST HEARD SHE WAS TO BE WATCH SHE THE NEW S*** SHE EVERYTHING THIS THAT BUT DONT LIKA HERR IF SHE GIVES A HUNDRED 100% I C SOME POTENTIAL SOMEWHERE IN THE WORLD WOULD CONSIDER IT BUT I C WHAT JAY & BEY DOIN SHE DEFINATELY NOT FOR THE U.S I THINK THATS WHAT THEY WERE GOIN FOR ANYWAY IF THAT WAS THE CASE PERFECTLY EXECUTED SAM IS PROBABLY KICKING AND TWIRLING A CD DEDICATED TO HER ENJOY !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BATTA UPPPPPPPP
Rita in her own words…and she love’s all kinds of music including REGGAE
simply amazing…
Ora also cautions that her album is not filled with just only dance-pop tunes like ‘R.I.P.’ or ‘How We Do.’ “The good thing about my album is that it doesn’t sound like ‘How We Do’ all the way through,” she says. “Because I want people to know that I like pop music, but I also love reggae music, I love Eric Clapton, I love all these old souls that my dad force me to listen to [growing up].”
“I want to make it really clear that my album doesn’t have one specific genre,” she continues. “Because growing up I’ve never listen to one specific style of music.
She love pop music and all Genres of music, amazing, but Expected sice
we all know that Jam aims to please us with another Cough* Rih, Rih if he can and that my friends why since ESTER DEAN is so dang great and has written
some of music greatest hits for artist including Rih, Rhi the why not try and stick with the same formula, Amazing
PS
Show us what u r working with girl and we do not
want are nor do we want another Rihanna our
hands are full with the one we’ve got!
@Lax when will you eat me? I want you to stan for me so bad that it keeps me wet all the time.
Look at you begging. Bet u wish LAX would make love to u. Are you even on the level, though?
@Lax I get what you are saying but it still comes down to this, the songs presented were mostly crap. I am all for having a diverse album with different genres but the songs she chose were just not all that good, generic and blah at best. Basically they were fillers to place around her already released singles.
I do however see her getting a hit or two only because of who’s her boss and will admit that the last track “Meet Ya” is actually a good song. I hope they realize this and avoid choosing something like “radioactive” which will flop in the US.
Anyway I essentially like her but I expected far better material based on who she’s with, The album is “ok” at best.
NO I WILL NOT MAKE RITA ORA RICH!! NOW I WILL KEEP RIHANNA AT THE TOP WHEN SHE RELEASES HER 7 TH ALBUM!! SORRY CAMEL BUT RIHANNAS REIGN WONT BE OVER!!!
Illuminati! and she claims she doesnt know what it is ok…. I wont be surprised if her album sales are strong.
…………………………………Good god….the comments on here. Anyway I am willing to buy this album to give her a chance. I don’t know why all the hate but I don’t like Rihanna but I bought 3 out of 6 of her albums. Rated R, Loud, Good Girl Gone Bad and supported even tho I can’t stand her. Oh, well I agree with those that said Rita’s voice is more suited for R&B/Soul but that doesn’t mean some of the songs are bad. But to be honest I only like 6 songs from the album.
gurl bye, you didn’t buy s***.
ROTFL.
“teenage Dream” Sound A CLASSIC compared to ORA. BYE Rita ! and i don’t think the US are feeling her as well. Time to Change your Direction and have your ” Good Girl Gone Wild” moment.
I liked ” R.I.P.” the Most Tbh.
Well…
The album leaked and since then I have it in intense rotation…THE DAMN GIRL IS GOOD! THE ALBUM IS GREAT.
Rita Ora gained my R.E.S.P.E.C.T
I agree the album is nice
I have to say I agree with the majority by saying no. It’s nothing personal against her, but her studio version song FAIL compared to her live versions. She needs her OWN sound, image, and vocal style because to me she is a fusion between Rihanna, Beyonce, and Gwen Stefani which isn’t good. She needs music that means something to her, because that can come across to the listeners and it would probably do well. Anyways, best of luck to Rita and her debut album “ORA”
I didn’t even notice she was similar to Beyonce/Katy perry until I heard some more songs, she seems to be copying almost every sucsessful female.
Roc nation are despe3rate. They have released TWO VERSION OF THE LP on the same day.
They did that With Rih too, Im like bithc, wait till the album is out for at least 6 months them release a deluxe for more buzz, hits and sales.
TGJ, that question was just asking for this response. I’m just laughing!!! Her poster is up at every tube station and I just came from Notting Hill Carnival, she has the biggest poster ever outside Shepards Bush station. Anyone seen it, you can’t miss it. It’s like 50 f****** foot! It has to sell.
With the amount of AAA list promotion and several million pounds they are spending. I expect her to come in at number 1 the uk with nothing less than a million in the first week.
This Rita Ora promo push is more aggressive than The Spice girls. THEY ARE PUSHING HER MORE THAN ANY OTHER UK ACT IN HISTORY. Even sade did not get rammed down our throats. ROC nation ( i know it is them ) are even writing fake reviews on uk itunes BEGGING US TO BUY this LP as she is nothing like Rihanna.
The way they are pushing and hyping I expect her to have one of the biggest selling LP’S in uk chart history.
NOW WE ALL WAIT………
On second thoughts I take back saying that the album will sell. She isn’t even in the top 10 on the UK or Irish iTunes. She sure is following Rihanna’s footstep. Good single sales, bad album sales. Because little kids can’t afford albums. 18+ ain’t buying her s***!
Of course rita rocksss
I’m so mad that she can actually sing…but the album already leaked & it’s garbage….sounds like some Katy Perry s***!
Katy Perry is above Rita Ora. She has global knock outs like I kissed a girl, California gurls, Firework,, teenage dream, that song with kanye. Please, do not compare pop princess Katy to this wack Riri wannabe garbage.
I love pop so kill yourself!
NO !
Just because an artist likes to listen to EVERY genre of music in existence does not mean the artist’s album should try to cover all that ground. The album is doing too much. Why do I want to buy an album on which every song is a different sound? She might get some hits on the radio, but I don’t think her sales will be anything when it’s released in the US.
She is meant to be beyond talented; has a powerful voice and has received more promo and millions than any other act in HISTORY! Even the spice girls. I expect her to sell A million in the 1st week in the UK.
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
na, I’ll wait til the REAL Rihanna drops her album 😉
I think the album is amazing…. There is alot of genres going on but check out Rihanna Lady Gaga Kelly Ciara Christina everyone else attack just about every genre on there album so why can’t RITA??
Songs I feel standout “Hello Hi GoodBye” it has a r&b feel to it, would be a great single because it’s not necessarily pop and she knows to show she not just a POP star…..
Next song “FaceMelt” epic…. I feel her beats and the way she rides them are ORA… It’s tight I like it very different
Next up is “Crazy Girl” very very Clever, chorus is banging, the Rihanna umbrella “aye aye aye” in the background is nice, if she do some runway and flicking her hair and some grinding n the video could actually go somewhere, reminds me of Chris Brown “Trumpet”
Next song “Young Single s***” my s***….. She ate that up wasn’t that deep but it’s flirty confident I like it
Next “Been Lying” loving the lyrics on this song, the beat is cool also, I like it tho, ORA s***
Next up “Radio Active” love it that would get her the top ten n the billboard she need and so will a other couple songs cuz then people would know who she is
“Shine Ya Light” “Roc The Life” “R.I.P” “Love and War” those are all the songs I like from the album….
HER PROMO FOR THE US NEEDS TO BE CRAZY…. EPIC EPIC EPIC VIDEOS…. FASHION IN VIDEOS NEED TO STANDOUT TO SET SIGNATURE LOOKS SHE IS FROM THE UK LOVE THERE FASHION…… SHE NEEDS TO PERFORM ON EVERY LATE NIGHT SHOW AND A COUPLE AWARDS SHOWS…..OVERALL GREAT ALBUM….
PS: WHY DIDN’T GRAPEJUICE DO A ALBUM REVIEW AS MUCH AS THEY SHOVE HER DOWN OUR THROATS…. AND I THINK ALOT PEOPLE ON THIS SITE DON’T LIKE HER BECUZ OF GRAPEJUICE PUTTING HER UP AGAINST RIHANNA BUT SHE CAN SING TALENT FASHION SHE GOOD IN MY BOOK
My momma always told me to respect others opinions but I have to say, your music taste is limited and/or non existent.
Those songs you mentioned are at best average.
Facemelt is a highlight, it’s also just a teaser which I am at a lost as to why it wasn’t a full song because the Diplo produced # is legit.
All others songs you specifically mentioned are just ok to generic blah to utter s***!
I believe she has a beautiful voice but the songs selected are horrid and sub par to what she can sing, the last track is the only one that I’ll be keeping minus the singles I already had.
I wouldn’t buy it if it came with a golden ticket…
I need convincing first but it’ll do better than 4closure world wide but will not perform as good as Talk That Talk worldwide. In other news, Loud by Rihanna is once again selling better than 4closure in the UK for yet another week. Loud which was released some ages ago is still outselling 4closure in the UK by the biggest THIEF in the music business. Burn Beyonce B**** BURN…I AM LOVING THIS.
Ummmm I’m sorry but let me put my arch nemesis BeYAWNce’s stan cap on for a second. U4tunate sold 2.3 million copies WW.
Rhita Borea won’t sell a fraction of that.
She might sell 23k in the uk and 100k worldwide after like 1 year, #POORDAT
You know what on second thought i just got the album, but i still wouldn’t buy it because i’m broke..
AND she is HYPED!!!!!!!! her team is fake
Being a guest judge on X Factor before her album being released?
WTH? Then b**** bye ..your 15 MIN are up before the album is released!!
how about dat?
On this side of the pond no one cares. She’s just coming off as too forced, her style her music and her.
I do need some new coasters. Ehhh I’ll just grab another copy of B’Day at the used store for $0.99 (deluxe version)
YESSSS
TGJ Is Full Of Hateful Nolife Bitters C**** And I Will Not Jump On Petty Hateful Bandwagon SMH! I Will Buy The Damn Album And F*** FatHaterBitches!
I will, she has proven over and over again that she is the real thing with the VOCALS and more but because y’all so used to the likes of a Rihanna type no talent singer with an image only get up that you would not know the real thing if it hit u in the face with a brick. It’s a shame that the ones with real talent has to go through the ringer. Rita keep doing you and you will be ok, nobody expects the first to come out with a bang but I believe you will surprise the doubters…
I actually think she’s talented but I feel she’s so guarded and I think she has BEYONCE to thank for that … it just makes you unrelateable … and fake ! Just open up RITA like songs like “HELLO HI GOODBYE”
Rita has an amazing voice but they should let her voice come naturally not with all the computerized stuff. I’ve been to two of her shows and shine your light made me soar but I was disappointed when I heard the studio version it’s been over edited or mastered whatever that is. With all the computer thing in her voice she becomes nothing special. People might just be willing to give her one shot to prove herself and we want to make sure they at least hear her voice whatever song they listen to. Also, Rita needs to stop dating rob kardashian, it’s pretty obvious they’re dating. She keeps saying she isn’t and that’s not cool. She should either leave him or say it publicly cause she’s trying to be RITA ORA not rob Kardashians girlfriend. The other day how we do was released and that was when rob tweeted the fake tattoo instead of media concentrating on the music they concentrated on the relationship. As a fan, I was pretty pissed. I got the album and I’m in love with it however I feel angry she isn’t doing as well as she should be!
She isn’t and probably won’t do well cause the album isn’t anything special. That’s why she be tweeting pics of her effing fnger instead of promoting her new record.
I will say that I do agree with her having a beautiful voice when paired with the right songs, and I like her voice much better when it isn’t digitalized. But thats the thing, almost the whole album tweeks her voice so it’s s***! Sorry, I’m not trying to be an ass it’s jus tnot that good, and I wanted it to be good too so I’m lil angry too that I downloaded it cause I already had all the best tracks minus one or two.
DA B**** IS GOOD!
I was going to shade Rita, but almost EVERY SINGLE COMMENT said no, she really is that bad. They blame it on the navy but mediocrity is mediocrity, hating or not the navy was spitting truth. You all went and listen and look at you know. Poor Rita, she is talented but…
Nooooooooooooooooooooo c’mon and she ain’t UK s pop princess
F*** the haters…this album is the best of 2012 hands down!!! SHE IS WAY BETTER THAN RIRI 😛 I love Rihanna but Rita Ora is better and here to stay!
It is the type of album that will grow on you…you just have to listen to the songs a couple of times.
Look Rita sold her soul .she covers her left eye. LORD HAVE MERCY ON THEM. This chick is illumanti
Hmmm no not 1 song has caught my attention they all just average……….
hahaahaha that grape juice predict the 1st week of sales???….
