Rita Ora Joins Coldplay On Their European Tour

By STEPHANIE STEVENS-WADE

YOU may well know Rita Ora for her collaboration with DJ Fresh on the huge No.1 hit single Hot Right Now, but with her big vocals comes an ever bigger sound with a super impressive lineup of collaborators on board for the release her debut single R.I.P. on May 6th. 

It has been a rollercoaster of a ride for the 21-year-old since being signed to Jay Z’s Roc Nation label and it’s clear to see on her debut single that she likes to keep things balanced between her UK roots and her new friends on the other side of the pond.

R.I.P. was written by Young Money superstar Drake, produced by dub step kings Chase and Status and pop powerhouse duo Stargate and also features UK hip-hop’s finest Tinie Tempah. What more could you possibly ask for?

After Hot Right Now garnered a massive seven million YouTube hits to date, fans will now be able to catch Rita Ora touring with DJ Fresh throughout May. Also, most recently announced are her support slots with Coldplay on their European tour  joined on the bill by Swedish pop princess Robyn and Marina and the Diamonds!
