Sensing 
an Ora . . .

SONGSTRESS Rita Ora took the music scene by storm last year, and she has set her sights on an even bigger 2013.

She has announced a UK tour following her number one singles R.I.P and How We Do (Party), which made her the only artist this year to have three no.1 singles in a row.

The release of her debut album ORA rounded off her incredible run, also claiming the no.1 spot last summer.

Live, Rita set the bar even higher during her US tour earlier this year and with a stunning performance opening the 2012 MTV EMAs, she gave fans a taster of what to expect in the UK for her Radioactive Tour.

She also made a special appearance on her home ground at the Notting Hill Carnival and to top it all off she celebrated the release of her album ORA in style with an unforgettable performance at JAY-Z’s Made In America festival.

Stateside, Rita has also been made quite an impression on U.S. audiences, with stellar performances on Good Morning America, Letterman and Jimmy Kimmel Live.
