Cop a gander of Rita Ora!
Sporting an electric blue ponytail, the Brit-bred chart-topper shared a shot of herself in the studio with will.i.am.
The pair are working on the singer’s second studio album, which is due out later this year. It is believed the project, which has yielded #1 single ‘I Will Never Let You Down’, was near completion – however additional studio sessions with the likes of will and DJ Mustard were ordered.
As the age old adage goes, the best meals take the longest to make.
Unstoppable.
Though seeing her credibility as a rapper dented by talk of ghost written songs, one would have to be a little crazy to deny Iggy Azalea‘s flawless rise from industry new girl to Pop power player in the last year.
Put simply, she’s unstoppable.
For, while unlikely to ever be celebrated as a groundbreaking rapper, plans made by her camp to turn her into a household name through fashion and TV will see her become quite the force in the months to follow, silencing any who believed remarks like these would hinder her chances of becoming the superstar she is today.
Now, after her new single ‘Black Widow’ heads towards the ‘Billboard Hot 100‘ #1 spot, a video shot by the entertainer years ago has been unearthed by her fans today, dug up as her #1 single ‘Fancy’ heads towards US sales of 4 million units!

‘We Found Love’ producer Calvin Harris may have seen global success with the hit song with its performer Rihanna, but now seems to have developed a hatred of their Roc Nation label mate Rita Ora.

This, being the UK smash hit that was ‘I Will Never Let You Down.’
