Rita Ora really kept her fans waiting for her third studio album, but the wait is finally over. The British hitmaker announced that her next album You & I is hitting the shelves this summer and teased its release by dropping a brand-new song “Praising You”.
You & I is Ora’s love letter to her husband Taika Waititi, and she described it as the diary of her last few years. She also revealed that we can expect a high-spirited record about what it feels like to fall beautifully, instinctually in love with someone.
Ora also gave us a taste of things to come with a new single “Praising You”, a collaboration with the iconic British DJ Fatboy Slim. This song is a reworked version of his iconic big beat hit “Praise You” from 1999, and Ora said it was surreal to collaborate with him and pay homage to the original track.
“I think this record means something different for everyone, but from my perspective, it’s about praising your loved ones and really celebrating those relationships. I’m incredibly honored that we get to breathe new life into the song and re-introduce it to a whole new generation,” Ora told Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1.
