Teletubby 137,543 Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 For the first time, Rita Ora has a hand in her own lyrics, and in doing so reclaims her own narrative – something she had to renounce to ensure her survival in a career that has been repeatedly derailed. The release of You & I marks a moment where it is finally safe for her to take a risk, to leave behind the safe harbour of shrewd collaborations and EDM universality. “I’d like to think Phoenix was a much more polished record, and while this is way more unpolished - I’m never not going to make pop songs - but this was a more natural, imperfect approach which is what I always wanted. That’s what you do when you’re a songwriter and you’re aiming to write more honourable records: they will inevitably become a bit less hooky and anthemic, and I’m okay with that,” she explains. “I’ve never made an album like this before; I wasn’t trying to make a record that sounded like something else. Being involved in the songwriting was eye-opening for me – I had no worries, no sense of judgement. I became way more confident. This is my more, sort-of artistic album.” https://www.thelineofbestfit.com/features/interviews/rita-ora-star-reborn Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

HookerOnAChurch 6,675 Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 I'm very disappointed. This album is weak, really weak Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cody James 1,469 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 I really like Praising You, Unfeel It, and Waiting On You. Not sure why is it cool to be passionately against her. I mean, Calvin Harris had a firm chokehold on her after their breakup and halted her peak back in the day Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
