Rita Ora is on a mission.

Since blazing onto the scene in 2012, the Roc Nation priori has made a name for herself globally by way of music, movies, and endless endorsements.

And while the aforementioned have established her name in the minds of the masses, it has given birth to the view among some that she’s more notable for being famous than her music.

Keen to emphasise that she knows what she’s doing, the 24-year-old – whose new album is due later this year – opened up on the topic during an interview on HOT 97 this morning.

Michelle, whose sophomore LP ‘Anybody Wanna Buy A Heart’ was released last year to critical praise, captioned the snaps saying:

Me and @jasonderulo have an amazing duet together on his new album. Excited about being apart of this project, the music is dope.

Self-appointed perfectionist Rihanna is still working on her eighth studio album.

The delays that have railroaded the project have been well-documented, yet the Roc Nation starlet is attempting to keep buzz alive by sharing studio snaps and snippets with fans.

Taking to Instagram moments ago, the 27-year-old posted a pic of herself in the lab with rapper/producer Travis Scott. The post was tagged “#R8.”

Little is known about what the pair were cooking up, but for her sake it needs to be hotter and boast more seasoning that all we’ve heard thus far. Because, when touting phrases such as “timeless,” the likes of ‘FourFiveSeconds’ simply won’t do.
