This Sunday, Rita Ora is set to enjoy her first UK #1 album with her debut effort ‘ORA’, three years after signing to Jay Brown‘s ever growing company, Roc Nation.
Responsible for crafting many of the album’s cuts, this week saw the singer reveal how Coldplay front man Chris Martin played an vital role in its structure- crediting him for his part in crafting its track list.
Her explanation below…
Speaking to the UK’s ‘Metro’, Ora revealed:
After my final show supporting Coldplay, we all went around to his house and I played him my songs and he helped me pick the order for the album.
He said to think of the ones that mean the most to me. He said he loved the way I perform – that I have a lot of energy.
He went through my songs and told me what he liked.
This wouldn’t be the first time one of Jay Z‘s leading ladies has credited the rocker for bringing ideas to the ROC table.
Back in 2011, Pop belle Beyonce revealed Martin had helped her pick the set list she performed at the Glastonbury Festival.
This, months before he teamed up with Rihanna for the smash hit single ‘Princess Of China‘, which the pair performed at the 2012 Grammy Awards ceremony.

STOP WITH THIS RITA WHORA OVERLOAD. I Won’t Buy that s***. NEXT!
LMAO TGJ ya keep on posting on this irrelevant chick man post on a artist with talent like kreayshawn.. She has a debut album coming out that’s about to sell over 250,000 it’s first week so TGJ get on ya s*** man.
God! You love Kreayshawn! Hip-Flop legend!
I’M SO F****** SICK OF THIS SITE AND RITA ORA. AREN’T THIER OTHER POP ACTS YOU CAN COVER WHO ACTUALLY HAVE GOOD ALBUMS SUCH AS LANA DEL REY, EMILE SANDE ETC ETC.
Tgj why don’t y’all ever talk about Emile sande
She is not signed to Roc Nation…..this site is payed by Roc Nation (Its true)
This b**** is the NEW QUEEN OF NAME DROPPING!!!! Anything for sales I see. #STOPBEINGPRESSEDRITA!!!!!
This coming from a Rihanna stan? How many times has she dropped the name of her ex-boyfriend to sell a single or a CD?
@ Janika, Rihanna doesn’t just name drop, her questions give her reasons to name dropped. Another thing Rihanna did not need Chris to make it, she had already did! On the other hand Rita has not and the people she keep name dropping are way big and more influential than Chris.
IM GOING TO THROW UP ON THE NEXT POST I SEE ABOUT HER…#ThatRitaJuice
*ThatRitaPussyJuice
That’s true. Its a shame that you ignore Emeli Sande in favour of this broad. I understand that the outrageous Rihanna comparisons generate hits but it would be nice to see a successful uk blog rep true uk talent. (And no this averaged voice degenerate does not qualify)
Dont worry about Emeli Sande. Between Sande and Rita Ora…… Emeli Sande will be left standing.
at this point,its just wait and see what she’ll sell
Rita Ora : “Chris Martin Helped Pick ‘ORA’ tracklisting”
Well, then he didn’t do a very good job sweetie. Good luck though 🙂
Absolutely!! lol, album’s still wack as sh*t. Once again, TGJ praising a total flop b*tch and hate on everyone else who is remotely successful and relevant. She’s NO WHERE in the US as far as charts go. No one cares!!! Her label seriously needs to read these blogs and other social outlets so they can make an informed (and best) decision to drop her ass immediately.
That doesnt make her s***** album any better. That “song” with will.i.am is a contender for worst pop song of the decade. I had to listen to it three times before I could get all the way through because I couldn’t handle the bleeding in my ears. HORRIBLE song for a terrible album. Stop hyping her up, she isn’t good. Okay voice, but horrific album tracks. It’s not even like she wrote the songs. The best song writers in the world came together to produce that tragedy.
Its true the song with Will I Am left me confused, I was like seriously THIS WAS THE BEST THEY COULD COME UP WITH, that song is Horrible you are right
She said it was done in 2 days. It sounds more like 45 minutes. No wonder Cher Lloyd turned down that song.
SO NOW YOU HAVE “FAMOUS AND TALENTED” TALENT ENDORSING THE “IN-FAMOUS AND WRATCHET”?
CHRIS MARTIN >>>>>>> WHAT THE F***???????
I JUST CANNOT AND WILL NOT.
AND WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH THIS SITE AND RITA ORA!!!!!!!
G E T – O U T – O F – R I T A ‘S – C L I T – A N D – G E T – T H E – F U C K – O U T T A – H E R E ! ! ! ! ! ! !
#DAMN.
AND YES, I AM MOTHERFUCKING PRESSED. THIS B**** CAN SING, I’VE SAID IT A THOUSAND TIMES, BUT SHE ISN’T DOING ANYTHING NEW, INNOVATIVE, REFRESHING, UNQUE OR ORIGINAL.
YAAAAAAAAAAAAAASSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!
Preach boy…….
This is getting to be too much now.
#Co-Sign
#Amen
#Give us that sermon
LOOOOOOOL.
“AND YES, I AM MOTHERFUCKING PRESSED. THIS B**** CAN SING, I’VE SAID IT A THOUSAND TIMES, BUT SHE ISN’T DOING ANYTHING NEW, INNOVATIVE, REFRESHING, UNQUE OR ORIGINAL.”

THANK YOU. 😉
LMFAO.
You going in @Jake. But I agree…
@TGJ’s Rita and Rihanna OBSESSION is just disturbing. IT TRULY IS.
Rita is talented but, like you said, she ain’t doing anything spectacular!!! DAMN.
#I CAN’T
I don’t hate this girl, I actually pity her. It is clear she is too gullible naive to see that Beyonce is just using her to get a one up over Rihanna. Beyonce is so jealous of Rihanna that every time she tries to sip water, she regurgitates it because of the hurt she is feeling that there is a bigger black superstar than she is out there and her name is Robyn Rihanna Fenty.
Beyonce needs to get over the fact that she has been moved to second fiddle, sorry make that third fiddle if we include Nicki Minaj on the black megastars who have out shined Beyonce. There is only so much c****** shaking and “fake-ness” people can take until they lose interest. She needs to just accept the fact that Rihanna is not only younger but also better looking, interesting, real, hotter and much more relevant than her. She should sit her silicon ass down and take care of that immigrant taco bell baby of her’s.
Rita honey, wake up and smell the coffee, if you want to see how BeYAWNce destroys careers, look at Michelle Williams and all the other flops from Destiny’s Child, just saying.
*CLAPS* WORD
Lol, but personally I think Beyoncé is hotter. Ri is just more caucasian looking, more relatable to us white folk.
I have to disagre, Rihanna has a flatter nose, fuller lips and a farther back hairline, which indicate being black. Beyonce SCREAMS mixed girl, but Rihanna’s light skin is the only thing that will set you off.
That is all Rita Ora has. The name dropping, Beyonce , jay Rob K and now chris martin. Oh and i dated Bruno martin. You know why she needs nto use them? Because evryone knows she ain’t s***.! She no star power that why. Her song HWD only spent one week at number 1, it was knocked off by a no name cheesey dance act.
She is the only act to have all this time, money and hype – plus use Rihanna, Beyonce, jay, Coldplay, Kim K, Rob K, Drake, Bruno Mars name’s and yet she is a flop in America, Europe,.
HER LP is fighting hard to go to number 1 against two indie bands who do not even have her money and PR. She is just narrowly edging out the other indie band – only just and that is because Beyonce is throwing her money. Without Beyonce’s millions. Rita’s LP would have come at number 5, at least.
This proves she is no star or talented. If she was all that, they would not need all this money to take on two no name indie bands. She would of flown to number 1. She has lost the itunes war to Icelandic indie band, so she is selling because she has been going all around the country meet and greeting fans. If the two indie bands had turned on the heat with promo, they would of murdered Rita.
How long can they keep throwing money at this flop? How long can they keep trying to buy her way to stardom?
OMG. Sam, how much is Roc paying u to d********* us with this b****????
She can sing, we all know that. But her music sounds like dog poop in a blender.
Let it da fuq go …. Radioactive will however do well in the states
Up untiil yesterday, she was getting her wig snatched by the two indie bands.
Then, Beyonce ( scared of Rihanna rule ) dug deep into her checking account. They had all these TV commercials for this LP; they stuck her poster up on every subway / tube station; they had her go to Manchester and London to do a PERSONAL in store signing ; Beyonce went o her blog to pay tribute to her ” girl ” Rita and how much she loves Shina ya light which is sung in a faux west indian accent in the exact same way as Rih. They had Jay z on twitter begging, now Jay has this video about RIP – the track that died on itunes – now this Colplay name dropping.
So, that has given her a little edge over Elbow. She is still loosing the itunes war with the band from iceland. She is losing the amazon war to the other indie band
She had 3 forgettable number 1 and yet she can barely slay these two indie bands

Let’s look at it this way. Jessie J only released two singles in the US one peaked at 23 and the other made it to 6. She had almost no promotion here(definitely not as much as Rita) and she wasn’t cosigned by the biggest name in music. She achieved that while Ritas two singles so far have only gotten her a peak at 62 on the billboard chart. The other one only charted on the dance and party songs aka ‘billboard rejects that couldn’t make the list so we decided to put it somewhere.’ She should be at least surpassed Jessie J by now with all the money that’s been thrown at her and she can’t even do that. Having all these celebrities cosign her clearly is not working. Not even her connections with Drake or Rob Kardashian has helped her. Most of the urban world know her as a poor man’s Rihanna or the girl in Drake’s video who dated the Kardashian kid. I think it’s best she stays in the UK and saves herself the embarrassment.
More fool her. Considering the last Coldplay album and singles didn’t do that fantastically he probably shouldn’t have.
Maybe she should’ve got Beyonce?…… oh no… wait.
As we can’t comment on the “who is she” segment, i just want to say that whoever she is needs to sort out her bunions.
Prior to that i actually thought it might be Patrick “Patty” in drag
*Dead* I saw that too, i was like guuuurl ewww
omg Patty in drag *dead* i thought it was a he too but i saw the hands and theres one of a girl.
Rita ora is narrowly ahead of Indie band, Elbow, There LP is an album of B sides. It is a close call. With all that hype, , three number 1’s , so called talent millions, name dropping and Promo she can barely slay a no name indie band releasing a B SIDE LP . Let all get the Elbow B side Album and send REAL TALENT to number 1.
This girl a wanna be west indian ad a gimmick. Come On! Elbow and Of monster and men are on her nuts, they can snatch her wig – it’ neck and neck. Cop their albums and put real talent to number 1.
Show JAYZ that is money aint s***! Of monster and men are killing Rita on itunes and in other charts Elbow’s B side LP is right on her tail. Buy their indie LP and get REAL TALENT TO NUMBER 1!
She has been on every ( the same ones ) TV show and radio since the promo for how we do and now this wack LP and she can barely slay a no name indie band releasing an LP with b sides. And this from a girl that 3 number 1’s? Clearly she is not all that in the UK.
lmao yes to this.
It is a very close three way fight between Rita, Of monster and Elbow. Let Jay Z know his money aint s***!
Cop that Elbow B side LP and of monster and men LP which has been out since April. She can barely slay these people.
She is loosing the Amazon wars to Emeli Sande and Elbow; she bis loosing the itunes war to of monster of men. The reason why she is NARROWLY ahead is because she has been doing meet and greet in London and manchester, plus she has had even more of beyonce’s millions to launch a presidential style ad campaign. They have been spending more than Obama has on 2008.
That is the edge she has over Emeli Sande, Elbow and of monster and men. Her talent ( lack of ) is not enough to take them head on. Her so called fan base does really exist ( it is clear roc nation bought those number 1’s. )
She is only starting to pull ahead because she has more money to spend than the other three. Remove the money and she is done! Well, the money will run out!
I love Elbow. She wouldn’t win in a contest against them. They are a well established band.
I have juste been on the biggest urban black blog. Their headline story is about Beyonce riding Rita Ora’s c***. Everyone can see it, they all Beyonce is only rding Rita’s c*** because she is scared of her black rival ( who’s voice is not even as good, yet she slayed beyonce ) Rih. Everyone on that blog is making fun of that fat, old woman riding on the c*** of a white girl, who is prolly f****** your husband. Especially when you were preggers. Beyonce is a transparent joke! She cannot take being in her 30’s, struggling to lose the baby weight from her already fat body and losing her black hollywood girl crown to a younger, foreign more prettier, sexier taller thinner girl, who’s voice is not that great. That proves how good Rih is, her voice is not as good as Beyonce, but she slays her because she is better looking, more sexier, stylish and has better music.
You are making a public fool of yourself Beyonce, Everyone knows you are jealous Of Rihanna and that Rita Ora c*** riding makes you look pitiful. And Rita Too!
Can you please give me the link to that “urban black blog” website ? 🙂
Which blog is this?
Media Takeout?
I love Chris Martin but what the f***!…this girl is sucking M*****-Z’s d*** because she wants to be famous but that’s not gonna happen, well!..maybe a one hit wonder, that’s it and she’s not gonna happen here in the USA, we like (DEFINITION) you are black or white, this girl you don’t know if she’s black, white or indian.
All this hate about Rita Ora’s debut CD. I hope she slays just to shut some people right on up.
She has got 3 UK #1 and set for number 1 EP well dOne Rita rihanna didn’t have a success album in the UK till loud
Chris Martin
The Dullest Musician in Rock
This wouldn’t be the first time one of Jay Z‘s leading ladies has credited the rocker for bringing ideas to the ROC table.
Back in 2011, Pop belle Beyonce revealed Martin had helped her pick the set list she performed at the Glastonbury Festival.
I bet Beyonce is f****** Chris Martin, poor Gwyneth Paltrow, Beyonce is a thief, I know she likes the white c*** of Chris.
Like ur mama F***** the entire world!!! Uh talk about R**** who f*** over 100 man and she only 23
Chris martin did the track listing then he needs to be hit upside the head for putting out this generic s*** that won’t even last longer than the Alfredo I made 2 days ago!
Chris Martin helped Rita Whora to pick this piece of s***? Bah. Sorry TGJ but im sick of Rita Ora, i can’t stand this girl anymore. What about Monica, Emeli Sandé, Toni Braxton, Eminem, Busta Rhymes, Kelis. Bye
3 number 1songs and a number 1 album wow we’ll done it took R**** 3 albums before hitting the top of UK chart
Before Loud came Rih was already one of the most famous women in the world.
Jessie Ware put out an album last week. No mention of it on here either.
God, this woman and her label are really trying too hard to shove her music down people’s throats, right?
They spend millions dressing her up, advertising everywhere, hyping her songs even though there are so average, even Jay Z comes to his Facebook and Twitter to hype her (she’s on his label), and now even Chris Martin is brought to the picture to supposedly give more “credibility” to the project
Well, guess what. If you wanted to spend time and so much money creating all this hype, how about actually writing songs that didn’t sound so average.
