Rita Ora on working with Troye Sivan and gossiping with Kylie

Rita Ora has a problem. She seems to have forgotten that she is a heavyweight bopmaking champion.

Ask if it’s “Radayactive,” the explosive final single from her debut album IShe cried before slamming her upcoming World Pride Music Festival in 2013, circling the UK’s Top 20 and taking place in Washington, DC, “I forgot that song! I need to write it down,” she cried before slamming her notebook and pen. “What is your dream set list?” It will actually help me a lot. ”

Eh, “poison”? “Okay, wow! I didn’t expect that,” she replies, bowing her head and scribbing. “Bang bang?” “Yeah!” She offers some suggestions: What about “I won’t let you down”?

Ok, she boasts at this point, but she should. At just 34 years old, Ritaora has a museum refined dance pop. Even most pop loyalists will bring her credit. It probably tops the UK charts in 2012, as she has only released three albums with DJ Fresh from her debut single “Hot Right Now.” Not much for someone in her 13-year career, but she is a busy woman.Masked singer; voice) Fashion Collection (Adidas; Primark) and an array of acting work (50 shades; descendants; Tin soldiers).

The fourth album is here. “Yeah, now we’re done. We’re literally going to be. But that’s how I exist now. [it] She lit up Zoom from Los Angeles, which had a fresh face, and her hair was pulled back into tight pans.

Work on Album 4 began on Moodboard last September. “There were words [like] Simple, intentional, direct, sexy, sexy, non-apologetic, not glamorous, but not rog arrogant, not ignorant, natural, organic, confident, pure, realistic, nothing heartbreaking.

If it sounds like the blueprint for Zeitgeist-Capturing2024 Record on Charli XCX Bladethat’s a kind of thing. Ora sounds deeply inspired by her previous collaborators (the pair collaborated with “Doing It” in 2014 and Ora’s controversial bisexual anthem “Girls”), and the way her final record won the Jidgist. “It was like a marketing genius plan, right?” she squips. Her own album Ethos was clicked in January. “I want everyone to feel like a complete whirlwind of Rita’s world and how it looks visually,” she says. She won’t reveal the title today, but the record “really explains the world” where it exists.

Rather, the beach that may exist. Ora’s dropped “Heat,” a sweaty summer contender. It is co-written by a fellow XCX and the King by chance. Troy Shivan and his writing partner, Leland.

“I wanted to go back to the days of sexy girls,” she says Cockettsley. The type of sexy girl who only owns a bikini does not leave the sun lounger straight for 10 days, leaving no eggs to her shirtless daddy if the tune is hot. Music Video Everything that goes through. Her last album, 2023 standard You and me“It was very mentally driven and heartbreaking. It was all about love. It was about my relationship. I was really inspired by my marriage. I still love my husband,” she laughs. Waititi sometimes jokes that she “returns sexy again.” “I bellow, ‘I’ve always been sexy! What are you talking about?” she bellows. “I like how he celebrates my femininity and I am very supportive too.”

Shebang was a “easy” collaborator of “heat,” she says. “I love it about Troy. He says, ‘Yes, Queen! Anything you want, f**k, let’s go.” Everything is a celebration and I think he just wanted to help me make the best record I could for myself. That’s what we did. ”

The “Rush” singer will also be performing on World Pride this weekend, but don’t expect a surprise on stage as he and Ora’s flights actually glide over each other over the Atlantic. “I’m not going to say that nothing comes,” she teased. “I don’t think I have to be that much alive on stage, but somehow I’m going to make it work.”

Rita Ora is a flagship Pride Festival around the world. She talks seriously about her time among the LGBTQ+ community. She is part of: In 2018, she revealed that she had previously been in a relationship with a woman. “That’s everything for me. I always make time for pride,” she says. I moved to London with my psychiatrist mother, businessman father and sister, and escaped political upheaval in my hometown (now the country of Kosovo). In the capital, she fell into a family of LGBTQ+ friends. In her first rave, she was accused of Drug Queens, who gave her free rule with their heels and hair. “I felt amazing. ‘This is what it is. I want to be a performer.’ Like those moments – you don’t forget it, do you know? ”

If she’s honest, she believes having a gay fan has helped her career come to light. “They were putting me in the mix. [Artists] It came out when I came out, they aren’t that many. Don’t get me wrong, her work ethic – “I’ll turn my ass off too” – has kept her at the forefront of the entertainment industry, but is a fan via the highest highs (7.5 billion Spotify streams, four UK number one singles) and lowest (I have to apologise for breaking Covid-19 Lockdown Regulations).

“My fans, I’m very transparent, I’ve always been honest with them, yeah, I’ve made public mistakes. “I’m happy to have done it in a community that has always supported me.

I know that this year’s World Pride is a little more than the party. The recent UK Supreme Court decision to exclude trans women is heavy because the term “sex” in the Equality Act of 2010 is related to biological sex. In the US where she plays, Donald Trump’s administration It violates policies aimed at trans people, especially trans youth. Her face, which was forever bright and smiling, becomes strict as soon as I raise it. “It’s heartbreaking,” she says twice. “It makes me so mad. I am f **king anger. “She sees being praised by stars like A sense of happinessHunter Schafer, and saw “The Sacrifices a Man has to Make to Become Hisself.” Her voice turns gravel. “It’s beyond words I can understand now,” she continues. “It literally takes me to tears and makes me so mad.”

She hopes that reeks can still put pride in the world pride. “When you come to Rita’s show, I promise you that you will feel accepting, safe and able to be the person you want to be without judgement.”

Oddly, Ora had to contest her own funny horrors about what has been accepted on the show recently, for a much different reason. In the spring she opened for the goddess of pop and her friends, Kylie Minogueher US feet tension tour. “I haven’t been open for someone for a really long time. This isn’t someone. She’s an icon, right?” Despite her global fame, to her surprise, Ora wasn’t sure Kylie fans would be bothered by her. “I don’t have an ego. I don’t have any pride. I just want to connect with people and sing my music to people,” she says. Still, “The crowd appeared for me an hour before their icon appeared. I was overwhelmed by gratitude. I couldn’t believe it.”

Touring is like training as an athlete, and Kylie is an Olympic gold medalist, so there was no wild party together (they pushed into Kylie’s own brand, some of the alcohol-free wines, but an incredibly enjoyable image). “I wish there was a more interesting story,” she apologises. “But we’ve talked a lot. Today we have a great, exciting story about music and the industry.”

We were considering Kylie’s mammoth comeback single “Padam Padam” Originally provided To Ora, I was paying a lot to know those chats. Was Kylie a girl like, “I won’t let you down” or “Love you.” But our time is now approaching the end. Rita Ora may be turned off to rethink the setlist. You need to ask about “radioactive”.

“I have a temperature. Rita Ora will perform at the World Pride Music Festival in Washington, DC on June 6th.
