BlackJesus Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 What was the point of releasing the edit of DTT last week and the full version this week
SomeGirl Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 1 hour ago, BlackJesus said: What was the point of releasing the edit of DTT last week and the full version this week There was no point in the edit imo. There seemed to be a playlisting issue because the album version was added to some AM playlists instead. Not sure if it will get added back now or not tho. 1
SomeGirl Posted July 7, 2023 Posted July 7, 2023 Quote …The new album covers a vast musical terrain – from the cracked disco of Don’t Think Twice and the dark electro of You Only Love Me, to the uplifting gospel house of Praising You, the galloping country-inflected singalong Shape of Me, epic power ballad Look at Me Now and the acutely vulnerable pop of Girl in the Mirror – each track reflecting a different aspect of Ora’s life. …The couple married in a small ceremony in London in August last year. The morning after, Ora was back in the studio, with a raging hangover, writing the album’s standout title track. “I had a session booked with a producer, Cirkut, and I didn’t want to cancel,” she says. “I told him, ‘I’m a bit slow cos I got married yesterday.’ So we wrote a wedding song. I think the fact that my brain was a bit foggy actually worked in my favour. There was no judgment. I was in the moment.” The result is a slow-building anthem that nods to classic love songs, including Sweet Caroline, Wonderful World, Everlasting Love, Eternal Flame, Stand By Me and I Want to Dance with Somebody. “Basically,” says Ora, “it’s our wedding playlist.” …Ora had for a while, perhaps unfairly, picked up a reputation for being a “party girl” – a label she is reluctant to see as an insult… …One song on her new album, That Girl, addresses the concept head-on. “When I became a pop star, I was in my 20s, and living the dream,” says Ora. “Now I’m in my 30s and getting more mature but I don’t want people to think that girl’s dead. You know, she’s definitely more controlled. But I like to have fun; I’m still that girl. You just have to pick your moments.” 2

Literally no one Rita. Collaborate with Mabel, Ellie Goulding, Ella Henderson or your fellow Albanian pop sisters Era Istrefi, Dua Lipa, Bebe Rexha or Ava Max. Not ******* Keith Urban. 5 hours ago, kyliefever2002 said: already thinking about a deluxe? i guess dreaming is free Not a Blackpink stan coming for another artist that's actually able and allowed to release music

After Phoenix she dropped multiple singles and collaborations then an EP. Worry about Jennie being in the YG dungeon

She was being blocked from releasing ALBUMS but has ALWAYS put out music blinks can't relate. Ya grasping onto the teaser of an announcement of something coming soon maybe in the future hopefully
Mordecai Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 As a Rita fan I'm sad that that the album is being released in a few days and I'm just... not hyped for it at all. I really liked Praising You and the other two tracks were okay, unfortunately they just haven't clicked in the same way Phoenix's release was, no matter how drawn out it was. Hopefully that all changes on Friday
Lady Claire Posted July 9, 2023 Posted July 9, 2023 I'm very hyped. The fact i haven't heard anything aside from singles or else makes me so excited During Phoenix she released multiple singles and also performed some songs live... now there's 11 completely brand new tracks i'll hear for the 1st time all at once

Hopefully that all changes on Friday I say give it and Rita a chance. She seems really passionate about this body of work and early reviews are in her favor. Besides we got more music and apparently another album to look forward to next year so let's keep supporting our girl ok 🤗 9 minutes ago, Lady Claire said: I'm very hyped.

Nefertiti0 Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 RETROPOP review 4/5 www.retropopmagazine.com/rita-ora-you-and-i-album-review/ From all out dance-pop bangers to smooth mid tempo R&B-inspired numbers and stripped-back powerful ballads, it’s without question the most ambitious album of her career, and while each track is a sure fire hit her personality shines through and there’s an innate sense of authenticity and a pure charisma that validates the message she sings.
Supervillain Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 The way there's completely 0 hype & interest for this... I almost feel bad
wildthaughts Posted July 11, 2023 Posted July 11, 2023 No hit singles, no hype… hopefully there’s the audience to talk about it after the album release
