Untitled

Ora is the debut studio album by British recording artist Rita Ora, released on 27 August 2012 through Roc Nation.[1][2] Ora enlisted a variety of producers such as The-Dream, Chase & Status, The Runners, Diplo, The Invisible Men and Stargate, and features guest appearances from will.i.am, J. Cole and Tinie Tempah. Musically, Ora is mainly a pop and R&B album that incorporates dance elements. Samples of the album's standard edition were made available to preview on the iTunes UK store on 9 August.[3]

Upon its release, Ora received generally mixed reviews from music critics. The album debuted at number 1 on the UK Albums Chart and was eventually certified platinum by the BPI.[4] It gained moderate success overseas, entering the top 25 in Australia and New Zealand. The album's release was preceded by two singles—"How We Do (Party)" and "R.I.P."—both of which entered the UK Singles Chart at number 1 and achieved standard chart positions in charts abroad.[4] The album also includes the number-one hit DJ Fresh collaboration, "Hot Right Now", which is featured as a bonus track. Ora was supported by the UK "Radioactive Tour" from January to February 2013.[5]

Background and development

Ora signed to American rapper Jay-Z's label, Roc Nation, in 2009.

In 2009, Ora signed to American record label, Roc Nation. After being signed, Ora recorded an album and wanted to release it, but her label advised against it and she started to work on another material for her debut album.[6] Ora spoke on the time spent on recording her debut album saying: "They [Roc Nation] gave me three years to do my album; two years to find myself and a year to record it."[7][8]

For the recording of the album, Ora enlisted the help of producers and writers such as will.i.am, Ester Dean, The-Dream, Stargate, The Runners, The Monarch, Stargate, Chase & Status, Greg Kurstin, Jules De Martino and Diplo.[9][10]

Ora described the album cover saying: "Everything was inspired basically by being bossy, by being independent, and by taking your own. We made sure that everything had character."[11] She explained the title of the album: "Ora is my surname, but it also means time in my country, Kosovo, in Albanian language, and it definitely took me a long time to get this album — three years to be exact."[12] On 22 July 2012, the official deluxe version album cover was revealed.[13]

Cancelled US edition

Ora said that the US edition of Ora will differ from the UK edition and that the US edition of the album would be like a second album. The album was set to have a release date in 2013, but has not been materialised.[14][15] Ora later explained that she had decided not to release Ora in the US, and that her second studio album will mark her US debut.[16]

Composition

When Ora spoke on the album she stated: "The crazy thing is I wanted the album to sound exactly like the subway, almost as if its just so free and raw."[17] When speaking about the sound of the album and its concept, Ora said the album "definitely has pop in it, but (...) you can hear influences of jazz in there, you can hear influences of Monica and Aaliyah, and then you can hear Gwen Stefani."[18] Ora described the sound of her album saying "I love No Doubt and Eric Clapton and Bruce Springsteen. It’s old school mixed with a pop kind of stream with a grit. It’s got attitude to it but it’s not ignorant. It’s just a cool f—ing album in my eyes."[19]

Ora has received mostly mixed reviews from music critics. At Allmusic, Fred Thomas alluded to how the album "manages to be more captivating than her peers by merit of her real approach to her songs, but sonically the album is somewhat interchangeable", but suggested that multiple listens make this release a "masterpiece of unrepentantly commercial pop".[20] Tamsyn Wilce of Bring the Noise suggested that the singer "stick with making the brilliant pop hits as seen in the first half of the album".[21] At Contactmusic.com, Dom Gourlay affirmed that the release "is still a worthy introduction to the world of arguably the UK's most credible and slightly left of centre pop star in years".[22] Digital Spy's Robert Copsey stated that "the culmination of 24 months of trend watching, market positioning and image primping on the resulting Ora does, more often than not, make it feel like a highly calculated exercise, but that doesn't mean she hasn't turned out some genuinely well-crafted songs".[24]

Holly Newins of The Digital Fix told that "is surprisingly convincing, especially with the dance hall influence that is blatant across the album", which she found that the listener will have songs that they will and will not be a fan of.[23] Furthermore, she said because Jay-Z's involvement that "the ratio of hits to misses doesn’t matter anyway", and that he will make sure Rita Ora "will be on your radio for a long time to come".[23] Drowned in Sound's Marcus J. Moore called the album "certainly catchy, and the maker is enthralling", yet the album lacks "any intricate rhythms here and the messages aren’t profound".[25] At The Guardian, Michael Cragg found that "there's just too much anonymity".[26] At The Independent, Andy Gill evoked that "the album does not give evidence Rita Ora is anything like Gwen Stefani, which she considers her influence, but rather a Rihanna coming from the United Kingdom".[30] Laurence Green of musicOMH vowed that "the defining feeling here is of something completely and utterly 'produced' – a factory line-up of the biggest names and beats in contemporary pop, machine tooled into something so sleek it’s in danger of slipping through the ether entirely".[27] Scott Kara of The New Zealand Herald told that on the release "she wears her influences on her sleeve".[28] At Time Out, Sharon O'Connell criticised the album because it contains "so little of Ora here", and suggested that "all Ora really gets to do is channel a sound now so ubiquitous it’s carpet-bombed our consciousness".[29]

Commercial performance

Ora debuted at number one on the UK Albums Chart with first-week sales of 41,509 copies.[4][31] Throughout 2012, the album sold 242,500 copies, becoming the thirty-fifth best selling album of the year.[32] In 2013, the album was certified platinum by the British Phonographic Industry for sales of 300,000 copies.
