The tribute concert, taking place tonight, will be streamed live from Avicii’s home town of Stockholm on his official YouTube channel. A 30-piece band will perform alongside 19 artist who agreed to participate, including Rita Ora, Aloe Blacc and Adam Lambert. Several of Avicii’s fellow DJs, including David Guetta and Kygo, will also perform.

Tim Bergling, known by his stage name Avicii, passed away last April, after struggling with mental illness. His family started the Tim Bergling Foundation in his honor, focusing on mental health awareness and suicide prevention, and all the net profits of the concert will benefit the foundation.

“We are grateful that his friends, producers, artists and colleagues are coming to Stockholm to help. They have all expressed a sincere interest and desire to engage in efforts to stem the tide of mental illness and lend their support to our work with the Tim Bergling Foundation,” said Bergling’s father Klas in a press release.

“New Look” is the latest single from her sophomore album Phoenix which came out last year, and gave us a series of hit songs, including “Anywhere”, “Your Song” and “Lonely Together”.

The British hit-maker delivered her rendition of Mitchell’s classic during the latest episode of Spotify’s Under Cover podcast. This wasn’t her first time to play the song in front of other people, since she enjoys performing it for her friends whenever they’re drinking together.

Before playing the song, Ora expressed her admiration for Joni Mitchell and her ability to put so much emotion in this stripped-down song, describing her as a lyrical genius.

“You don’t expect how confident the words that she says are when you look at her. Her lyrics have so much depth and substance and presence that you don’t actually consider her the underdog. I feel like that’s what makes her so special,” explained Ora.

The British singer and Norwegian DJ recently joined forces to record a track for the soundtrack of the highly-anticipated Pokémon movie, titled “Carry On”. The song was accompanied with a music video, featuring clips from Detective Pikachu, which is set to come out on May 10.

The video also shows Rita Ora wandering around in the world of the film, rocking a Pikachu-inspired yellow trenchcoat. The British hit-maker immensely enjoyed recording this song – she was a huge fan of Pokémon growing up and described it as “a big part of her childhood” on Twitter.

“Carry On” was also really special for Ora since it saw her reunite with one of her favorite artists. She previously shared the main stage at Coachella with Kygo and this song saw them coming full circle and working on something amazing together.

The video for the track sees the three artists showing off their dancing skills in a series of colorful outfits. Rita Ora said she immensely enjoyed the energy everyone brought to the table while filming this playful video.

“We all brought so much passion to this song and it was so much fun dressing up to shoot the music video. Working with Sofia and Anitta was an amazing experience, and I can’t wait for fans to hear the track!” stated Ora.

Sofia Reyes, who’s been credited as a lead artist on this track, said they wrote this song because we all need encouragement to walk away from all the things that are holding us back.

“It was also incredibly empowering for me to work with these two super women. I loved that we got to mix all of our cultures up with one message that we can all agree on,” concluded Reyes.

the video opens with Ora being fed up with fake tabloid stories being written about her and trying to hide from paparazzi inside a retro diner. One of the waitresses helps her escape to the back, but we quickly find out she’s also played by the singer.

The video later shifts to her point of view, and we watch her experiencing a rough night at work. The video ends with the waitress going to a club and watching Ora perform, and the two women can be seen tearing up after recognizing each other in the crowd.

“Only Want You” also features vocals by American rapper 6lack, and Rita Ora previously described it as her favorite track from her sophomore album “Phoenix”.

“It’s emotional and it’s really intense and it’s got that incredible Nirvana guitar. I think those elements were super important for me to bring into this album. And at the same time, it has a killer beat,” explained the British singer.

“One of the most liberating feelings for me is performing and creating music,” said Ora in a statement. “This album is a true labor of love, and it was important for me to do it my way. I’m so appreciative of the love and support from those who worked with me on the record and allowed me to create something I’m really proud of. They gave me space and freedom to create something from my heart. Both challenging and euphoric at times, I am really proud of and grateful for the journey that the making of Phoenix has taken me on.”

Phoenix won’t be entirely made from new songs since it will include several tracks that Ora released as singles in the past few years including “Your Song,” “Anywhere” and “Girls.” The record should also have several other familiar songs like “For You,” collab with Liam Payne for Fifty Shades Freed soundtrack, “Summer Love,” which was done with Rudimental and “Lonely Together,” song Ora has recorded with late DJ and producer Avicii.
