En del tyder på, at England er ved at få sin egen Rihanna, og én der vil slå igennem verden over. Alle kanoner er i hvert fald kørt i stilling for denne 21-årige, britiske sangerinde med de Kosovo-albanske rødder: Ora har skrevet kontrakt med Jay-Z's Roc Nation-label og hot shots som Drake, Diplo, will.i.am, The Dream og producerteamet Stargate har alle haft en finger med i spillet på "ORA". Rita gør hvad hun kan for at leve op til tilliden - problemet er blot, at hun næsten minder for meget om Rihanna: Looket er det samme, de numse- og hoftevrikkende dansetrin i videoerne er de samme, teksterne om sex på silkelagner er de samme, og musikalsk befinder vi os også i denne samme boldgade af pop, r&b, hip hop og electro. Rita er ganske enkelt for anonym, men alligevel hitter hun stort, især i hjemlandet England - både med dette album og de tre singler "RIP", "How we do (party)" og "Hot right now".

"Not many pop stars can say they have duetted with Craig David, auditioned to represent the UK at Eurovision and signed a multimillion-pound deal with Jay-Z's Roc Nation. Unfortunately for Rita Ora, her backstory is the most interesting thing about her, with her debut feeling more like a collection of other people's songs than a cohesive album".

"All the hit-makers are here, and not just on the hits: How We Do (Party), Hot Right Now and R.I.P. - number one smashes all. She's worked with Drake, Kanye West and Jay-Z; there are appearances from will.i.am, DJ Fresh, Tinie Tempah; songs are written by Ester Dean, Stargate, Chase & Status... Justin Bieber is surely only a phone call away ... Rita is incredibly adept at channelling the essential spirits of other vocalists Rihanna's flattened moan one minute (Shine Ya Light), Katy B's up-for-it holler the next (Love and War), a lurch towards the healing hoot of Katy Perry (Been Lying), and the occasional nod towards P!nk, Ke$ha and other popstrels who can't spell their own names without the shift key".
