Whichever way you look at it, Rita Ora is indeed 2012’s breakout star.

Rocketing to global notoriety back in February, the last few months have seen the singer’s debut album ‘ORA’ secure opportunities very few artists can honestly say they wouldn’t kill for.

From a lucrative stint on the summer leg of Coldplay‘s ‘Mylo Xyloto’ Tour to performing cuts from the project on the ‘On Air With Ryan Seacrest’ show, Campaign Rita has been a roaring success.

However, all of these may pale in comparison to news she shared with fans today, which saw her reveal she has taken ‘meetings’ with the esteemed folk over at ‘Vogue’.

Another day, another meeting, another step.. #Strikeapose twitter.com/RitaOra/status…

Though it is already one of the highest selling LPs of the year with 1 million copies sold worldwide, there’s no denying Nicki Minaj’s ‘Roman Reloaded‘ is under performing in the US.

Ironically, though she is far more ‘well known’ today than she was during the release of her debut LP ‘Pink Friday’, the mishandling of many a single has seen ‘Reloaded’ fail to live up to its initial hype.

So now, in a bid to push its overall sales, she is to re-release the project this November.
