Following a year long hiatus from music, Rita Ora is getting ready to rocket back onto the scene.
The Roc Nation priori spent much of last year racking up endless endorsement deals with the likes of Rimmel and Adidas, as well as filming her role in the much-talked about ’50 Shades of Grey’ movie.
During a visit to BBC Radio 1 this morning, the singer was keen to stress that she’s also been using the downtime to record her hotly anticipated sophomore album – which she confirmed is now finished.
Most exciting though, is the fact that the Jay-Z protégé revealed that the project’s lead single is due any moment now.
All the details, including a preview, after the jump…
Speaking with host Nick Grimshaw, Ora announced that the project’s lead release is titled ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ and was produced by boyfriend Calvin Harris.
When quizzed on whether the pairing was deliberate, the 23-year-old insisted it wasn’t and that she didn’t intend to work with Harris on the LP (which features Macklemore and a host of other “surprises”). Instead, she says, the collaboration came about organically while the couple were relaxing and humming at home.
Listen to Rita dish on ‘I Will Never Let You Down’ below, where an acapella preview also awaits…
Exciting times!
Rita made quite the splash with her debut, which spurned three #1 singles in the UK. With the view now to launch her in the US and beyond, she has the benefit of an established home-soil success story to build on. That said, given the competition in what is an ever crowded marketplace, the pressure is undoubtedly on.
Still, given how talented she is, we anticipate major success.
Hmmmm… No Comment.
Didn’t this lying fool say she didn’t like his music :/ LOOL Rita go home.
FLOPPING harder than a belly flop!
F****** for tracks.
I hope TGJ are being paid to constantly shove this b**** down our throats, rather than being genuinely convinced that she is the next big thing. She is not.
I did not not know this girl could sing like that. I thought it was all studio vocals. She has a voice on her, she just needs the right songs.
Rita posts are hilarious lol
“hotly anticipated sophomore album”
Kii
Y por supuesto, TGJ estara escribiendo nuevos articulos cada vez que se eleva de 30.5 a 30 en iTunes Botswana …
I thought she was going to end Rihanna’s career two years ago? What happened?? 🙁
I can’t wait to see this b**** FLOP. Try hard never going to amount to anything but a studio c** bucket ho.
She will never break into the US.
How is she gonna flop when she clearly had major success with her first album. 3 consecutive no.1’s with her first 3 singles. she’s real talent unlike half the crap out there today.
Wow, she can actually sing unlike a lot of pop artists! I never really paid attention to her. 😀

Molly, immma snatch yo wig ho.. LOL
I’m not knocking this chick hustle, but damnn, she gets more attention for her fashion than her music..and yet roc nation wasting money trying to make fetch happen…
roc nation is the worst label to be on….I was looking at all the different artist on there, I was like damnn, why they not getting promoted too?

I would love for her to win, but those song choices! I only really liked “Hot Right Now”
She’ll break into the United States when she comes with her own sound and style. Just like Rihanna gave up trying to be Beyonce, Rita will come into her own too.

“Just like Rihanna gave up trying to be Beyonce, Rita will come into her own too.”
XD
It has been a while since I last commented. Beyonce is struggling , aged 35 to take rih out the game. These days BEY is looking like a KIM K wannabe ( peep her copying kim k on IG ) and stripping in front of the beatles. Rih’s classy stay
performance>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Beyonce is running out of ways of competing with the effortless Rih, that now, at aged 35, she has been reduced to singing about ‘ monica lewsinky’ over her dress; she has been reduced to going near n*** and she HAD to give 17 muisc videos to sell her album.
LOL LOL that rihanna reign. AND, I WAS ON CHARTNEWS, AND AS OF A FEW DAYS THEY TWEETED THAT BEYONCE HAS ONLY SOLD 2.4 WW. WITH .1.7 COMING FROM THE USA.. meaning, all that hype, free videos and fanfares and she still basic as f***. Like I have said she will scrape 3 mill and fizzle out!
Her singles flopped; drunk in love is not exactly a smash, but the other singles cannot even move. Rih Rih is laoded with singles, so much that she does not even need to do videos. You do know Jump is heading for top 10 in Australia and will be the last single in the USA.
stephy you are a mess lol
Yes that song’s been stuck in my head all day
DRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUNNNNNNNNKKKKKK
IN
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
UUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
WE BE OLE NIITEEEEEEEEEEE
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
LUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU
I might’ve trashed Beyst for it before but now It’s on my top 5 tbh
ust like Rihanna gave up trying to be Beyonce, Rita will come into her own too.”
XD
BUT RIH RIH never ever wanted to be a bland RNB beyonce wannabe with bad clothes. Rih always wanted to do ” white music” POP and wear high fashion. SHE WANTED TO BE WHO SHE WANTED. RITA ORA IS JEALOUS OF RIH; RITA WANTS TO BE RIH . Rih never ever copied beyonce wack fashion. YET RITA COPIES RIH’S WHOLE LIFE.
H20 I can’t with you sometimes, but atleast you come to your senses 😉

Everyone is pretending to stan for this girl cos they hate RIH and want rih out the game so beyonce has no competition for fashion covers and hits. But, RIH BODIED BEYONCE OUT THE GAME/ beyonce is looking like a ho, while KIM K is appearing more classy. North west is cuter than blue ivy.
Stay sold 4 mill in the USA Rih’s 6 single to do so
Her song with Shaki will go platinum in the USA; it may not be a smash, but it will do the numbers.
The monster is at near 4 mill and still selling
F*** outta here if u think this old flop w**** can take rih on.
Rih was in the studio working her ass off with Rodney jerkins; she has Nicky romero funky track; They might uses the pharelle track from last year which did not make the cut; the Runners ( cheers, CKB) said they done a joint; she has DJ msutard amped up for her new s***; plus kuk hurell ; her main guy has been recording her all on tour and juts last week
She has a 2 new movies coming this year – BEYONCE HAS NONE and her mac VIVA GLAM HAS RAISED OVER $ 3 M in one day. Balmain deal is in full swing; her vogue Brazil and Voge Australia covers. WHO THE F*** IS BEYONCE OR RITA WHORA?
Rita WHORA WILL FLOP AND BE DROPPED. MARK MY WORDS.
“RIH BODIED BEYONCE OUT THE GAME/ beyonce is looking like a ho,”
LMAO @ the Delusion
http://youtu.be/ehcVomMexkY
I can’t believe Roc Nation shoves this girl down our f****** throats all the time but didn’t give M.I.A the time of day. Smh
Rita is younger, prettier and has a MUCH MUCH better voice than Rihanna. She’s also got a normal sized forehead, unlike Rihanna who looks like Roger from American Dad.
LOL! Beyoncé’s album outsold Unapologetic in less than a month! 😉 It took Rihanna 6 months to do what Beyoncé did in DAYS! 😀
BYE!!!!!
Beyoncé aint worried about no damn RIHANNA…
Let these 2 BLACK FEMALES dominate music in peace please thanks
@B Hill save the dragging for when the navy floods this post. As for now,please hush. Nobody has bothered to drag anyone
Beyonce has done 7 movies. All of them being box office hits and grossing over 700 Million.
Personally requested by Clint Eastwood for a role, but turned it down.
Nominated for Golden Globes three times.
3 US vogue covers
5 CONSECUTIVE #1 Albums
Fastest selling Digital Album in history
Highest grossing tour by African American woman in History.
Beyonce is MILES ahead of the singles queen 🙂
@ Slay_Hive
true (:

@ Sybil
My “Bookmarks” is filled with your claims/predictions which were later proven wrong, I can’t take you any kind of seriously anymore.
“Mark my words” my hairy Middle Eastern ass 🙁
Now take your pills, sleep, die or whatever, and may God forgive you for all the massacres you’ve commited with internet servers over the past 12 months,
Beyonce won, you lost ..
Y’all h*** so pressed over Rihanna posting these FLOP videos and comparing that Beyonce album to unapologetic.
Give it up FAGGIES the Queen ain’t going Nowhere.
H2O…. Eww Don’t nobody need to know your ass is hairy…
@H20 🙂
@Molly
looking for apartments today. what are you up to?
@ Bey’s Supporter
Beyonce movies have now done over a billion last time I checked, and over $200M made off home video sales. With the total budget was barely over $375M.
She has production credits on some of them and recorded soundtracks for most of them (whch’ve sold 2.5M+ worldwide)
A really successful movie career!
@ Stephy Tha Lambily
Why not?
I might have even even posted a pic but I’m not home right now so
Good to see a Jay-Z protégé who actually has talent.
Jump is at #17 in Australia with no promo yo; RIHANNA you better release that song.
Beyoncé movie SHE HAS BEEN APART OF has grossed between 700-750,000,000+ $’s not 1 billion
Why when people on this site reply to me they write my whole fuckingg name lolo
My real name is Stephon Maurice Jackson
Just call me Steph or Stephy
Not @Stephy Tha Lamibly loloolo
So did Jay Zs drunk ho finally crack the top ten of the Hot 100 with that tasteless Drunk in love song?
Rita Ora your predictable. I knew when she was dating Calvin she wld do a song with him. Fing for tracks now I see. Your never have a we found love
Britain’s Bang Radio has censored the “Grown Woman” singer’s track “Drunk in Love” featuring her husband Jay Z has a lyric referencing Tina Turner and Ike Turner’s rocky relationship. Jay’s lyric states:
Now eat the cake, Anna Mae / I said eat the cake, Anna Mae.”
“Eat the cake, Anna Mae” reportedly refers to a scene in the film “What’s Love Got to Do With It” where Ike forces Turner to eat in a graphic, disturbing scene. Bang Radio’s CEO Jennifer Ogole released the following statement about the decision to censor the song:
“The lyrics controversially imitate a scene of severe domestic violence. We believe in the unity of women and music and in no way condone violence, domestic or otherwise, especially not through the power of music. Therefore, the decision has been made to wipe the stated lyrics from the song … Respectful of what our audience [wants] to hear on Bang Radio, we feel this is the right action to take in regards to the controversial lyrics of the song and we will continue to serve in social equality for people through music and content on our station.”

LoveDickkk…. Where is Mariah Carey lip syncing videos at babe
Bye Gurl…
Those numbers are lies…
I checked & calculated box office numbers for all those movies & they did not gross a combined 1+ billion dollars BYE H2O
Somewhere down my pants; you need to come dig on here with your tongue to find them.
Is Unapologetic RIAA-certified double platinum yet? No? And it’s been out for 14 months? Well, is it even close to being 2x platinum? No?
Damn.
And 4?
Why so worried about Unapologetic when Jay Zs drunk ho is the one stripping it up for 25 million viewers?
Has that silly ho cracked the top ten after her sexapade at the Grammy’s? I just want to know.
@ Stephy
Read the first word in my comment
2013-adjusted
Yes the actual gross is $750 million but the 2013 is over a billion.
Why you worried about Beyoncé when Rihanna can’t score a multiplatinum album to save her alien-foreheaded life? 14 months and all those singles and she just barely sold a million U.S. Something Beyoncé did in under 2 weeks and is closing in on another million…after less than 2 months! 14 months vs. 2 months! Ha! 😆
Yes, and Beyonce only had to open her legs and parade her muff, c****** and poonani in 17 strip shows to sell that in a month.
She only had to be the biggest s*** in the industry to achieve those sales figures; what a perfect example for Blue.
Mariah is a old lip synching w****
Beyonce is better than Rihanna
LoveBird, you so nasty babe…
H2O, ok so my point was exact….
Ciara Fan # 5, b**** my fav can lip sync & still make millions. While your fav is a flop at the age of 28 or watever her flop ass age is.. Sorry Molly
LOL! You have the audacity to call someone out about open legs and whorish behavior when you’re in here defending Rihanna who has made indecency her whole career mantra? There are topless photos of that vapid s*** all over the Internet! LMAO!!! Pot, please don’t call the kettle black. The difference is when Rihanna does it it doesn’t increase her sales because no one is interested in hearing that tonedeaf cow croak over a whole albums worth of material, no matter how naked and n*** she gets. The GP knows that she doesn’t have the talent of a squashed cockroach and therefore deems her to not be worth more than a buck and a quarter single download from iTunes…whereas Beyoncé can get people to spend $16 (more than the cost of an average album) on her. Hell, even when Rihanna’s b******* albums are slashed to $4, she still doesn’t sell…and that’s with those disgusting strip club music videos, instagram photos and barebreasted nonsense circulating. Explain that, please.
She’s still trying ? When will she learn that the rihanna reign cannot and will not let up?
Lmao!!! @Sybil You’ve been predicting Rita would be dropped for almost 2 years now. SHES STILL SIGNED AND GOING HARDER THAN BEFORE!! Give it up already. Rita is not getting dropped, ever. Platinum album, 3 consecutive #1 singles, sold out European tour, headlining festivals, magazines, Material Girl fashion, and now movies. It never fails to amaze me how much hate talent always gets. Rita has a beautiful voice and can out sing all of todays top pop girls. That acapella performance proves it. She and Calvin are about to release a banger, mark my words.
Blue has a mother who started her own company. A mother who sang for the president. A mother who is RESPECTED by her peers. A Mother who made history.A Mother whose work ethic is praised by many. A mother who hasn’t n*** pics allegedly leak, bar fights, DUI’s, hadn’t had to go to rehab, no twitter beefs, no pics her doing illegal drugs… I mean I could go on, because Im not gone even mention the endorsement deals, tours, and money.
FROM NY POST
What do you call a man who stands there smiling and singing as his scantily clad wife straddles a chair and shakes her rear end for other men’s titillation?
I’m certain if I look through enough Jay Z song titles, I’ll come up with the right name for his role in Beyoncé’s performance at the Grammy Awards Sunday night. Rhymes with Goodyear. . . ? Well, how about I just call him a poor excuse for a husband.
For years, these award ceremonies have pushed the envelope; Beyoncé’s booty-shaking was certainly no worse than Miley Cyrus’s twerking or any number of other performances by Madonna, for instance. But there’s something particularly icky about doing it while your husband looks on approvingly.
“Honestly, I didn’t want to watch Jay Z and Beyoncé’s foreplay,” says Charlotte Hays, author of “When Did White Trash Become the New Normal?” Indeed, the happy couple seems to have completely blurred the line between what goes on in their bedroom and what happens on national TV. So much for the woman that Michelle Obama has called “a role model who kids everywhere can look up to.”/
If Beyonce is a “w****” I would hate to know what they consider her less talented counterpart.
She is a low down dirty whoooore!!!! Her and Rihanna are slutty scum devil worshippers
Boy when Beyonce does something, the world goes crazy.
But I get it, Beyonce is seen as the light and the truth. LOL.
“Grammys 2014: Beyoncé and Jay Z’s s*** performance of ‘Drunk In Love’ draws more cheers than jeers from fans, critics”
NY daily news
ao!!! @Sybil You’ve been predicting Rita would be dropped for almost 2 years now. SHES STILL SIGNED AND GOING HARDER THAN BEFORE!! Give it up already. Rita is not getting dropped, ever. Platinum album, 3 consecutive #1 singles, sold out European tour, headlining festivals, magazines, Material Girl fashion, and now movies. It never fails to amaze me how much hate talent always gets. Rita has a beautiful voice and can out sing all of todays top pop girls. That acapella performance proves it. She and Calvin are about to release a banger, mark my word
RITA is one song of getting dropped; Rihanna will never be dropped. YOU said will end rih career, and even beyonce cannot end
Go harder? HOW, her single has been pushed back and when it finally comes out, it
flop. BUT rihanna is going even harder. RIH was named an ICON. RITA has only sold 300k album, she will will be dropped. Her new album will only do half. Number 1 in what country? NOT THE USA. Tours? HOW MUCH DID HER TOUR MAKE? HER TOUR WAS IN SMALL NIGHTCLUBS. Sherpards bush empire is a night cluband her tour last 2 weeks. Call me me when she is on a tour lasting 6 months
CALVIN HARRIS HAS ALREADY PEAKED. HE WILL NEVER EVER TOP WFL. YET RIH TOPPED WFL WITH diamonds and stay. European tour? LOL her tour was in the UK and lasted 2 weeks. Material girl and DKNY DID NOT SELL OUT LIKE RIH RIH;S fashion so that is null void. Magazines? RIH SHOOTING 3 VOGUE COVERS IN ONE YEAR. EVEN BEYONCE HAS NOT got that.
What festivals has she headlined? NOT ANY OF THE MAJOR ONES THAT HAVE RIH OR BEYONCE ON THE BILL.
RITA WHORA CANNOT OUSTING ARAINA GRANDE and she is bigger than RITA. RITA WHORA IS 23 yet she looks 30 and she is known as w**** who f**** for tracks and wear crazy fashion or rihann knock offs.
WHEN HER NEW SONG WITH CLAVIN HARRIS FLOPS, especially in the USA, THAT WILL THE END OF HER CARRER,
MEANWHILE RIH will get her 14th number 1 and her album will bePLATINUM. BOOM!
Is she even popular in Europe besides England? She definitely isn’t wanted in the U.S. because too many people have called her a Rihanna wannabe.
Rita lipstick,
LOL LOL RITA WHORA WONT GET PLAYED IN THE USA; SHE is a non f****** factor and FLOP OUT HERE ( USA ). EVEN IF JAY used payola, after it is done, she will flop hard.
RIH IS THE QUEEN OF RADIO, THEY PLAYER HER S*** ALL DAY IN THE USA. STAY SOLD 4 MILLION AND STILL ON ITUNES. RITA IS GONNA FLOP IN THE USA, WHERE IT MATTERS THE MOST AND WIth Rih’s 41 million album sales, versus RITA’S paltry 300k album sales, ROC WILL GET RID OF RITA much faster than DEF jam will rih.
RITA’S SINGLE PEAKED AT 62 IN THE USA. Shakira and RIH peaked at 31. RIH dont know how to flop, h**
Lmao!! Sybil you said she’d get dropped by 2013 back in 2012. Didn’t happen. Beginning of 2013 you said she’d be dropped by summer. Didn’t happen. Now your claiming she’ll be dropped after one single. Guess what? I WILL NOT HAPPEN.
FYI, Ariana Grande is R&B not pop. And Rita’s tour wasn’t just the UK. She sold out theatre’s in the US apart of an MTV tour too, confirmed by opening acts Iggy Azalea and Havanna Brown.
Rihanna don’t know how to flop? lol
RIGHT NOW and WHAT NOW say hello.
And those are just 2 examples, there are many many more. Heh.
We Be All Nite…Talkin About The Queen Bey!!! Ain’t that right? @Lovebird ha!
you’ve never heard any of her songs yet you’re wondering what?
you dumb basic ass b**** stfu and kill yourself.
you’re all ugly ass f*** with no lives, or b****** with hair loss
all you do is sit on the computer and write about how much you hate people….
make a list of how many people like you lmfaoo
Well, glad 97% of TGJ commentators can finally agree on something; Rita’s a flop tramp from the slums of the middle east…
IF ANYTHING SHE IS COMING FOR RIHANNA’S VOCALS AND FASHION.
CIARA IS IN A DIFFERENT LANE, THE JANET LANE
I live reading that grape juice but I have never ever known a site so full of haters. I swear there isn’t a single topic that gets posted up on here where at least half the comments aren’t hating! So sad that people are so miserable in their own lives they have to have just a negative view of the world. Smh. Praying for them.
Rita Ora can really sing!!!
The navy sees Rita Ora as a threat
Because if Rita could never take out Rihanna
Why attack her and say mean things about her
If the navy knows that Rihanna is better why boughter
Dear navy educate yourselflves
Stop insulting other artiste because your proving how s*** Riri
Is
That’s why anyone is a threat to her , don’t take me wrong
I do love her and I like her music , but I will never consider myself
To be apart of the navy because they are mean and they need to educate themselves
Talking s*** about other artiste won’t make Rihanna better
I love bey , I consired myself to bey apart of the bey hive because
Bey makes me proud , the hive are not all perfect some of us can be mean
But the navy are worse
Anyways Rita Ora is great let her do her thing
