Rita Ora reveals the name of her personal new album – an ode to her husband Taika Waititi – and confirms release date

Rita Ora looked radiant as ever as she stepped out in central London while promoting her new album You & I. 

The singer, 32, who has named the record after her husband Taika Waiti, cut a trendy figure in a brown and beige faux fur jacket.

The Let You Love Me hitmaker paired it with a white top and also sported light blue ripped jeans on the outing.

Also sporting a pair of blue trainers, Rita added to her look with red-tined sunglasses and a blue handbag.

Styling her dark blonde locks into curls, the star beamed from ear to ear as she looked ahead to her new ablum release.

The star likened the album to a ‘diary’, suggesting it will be her most personal offering to fans yet.

She said: ‘This album really means a lot to me. It’s like my diary of the last few years, it’s my sound and it just feels so true to me and who I am today.’ 

The hitmaker put on a leggy display in the snap as she donned a light green blazer and a matching mini skirt.

The Masked Singer judge also wore a white corset top as she posed in a dressing room in front of a makeup stand.

Styling her dark blonde locks into a sleek updo, Rita added height to her frame with a pair of black heels.

The star accentuated her natural beauty for the shot with a light palette of makeup. 

Rita revealed the first single on her new album will be called Praising You, a new version of Fatboy Slim’s 1999 hit Praise You.

The singer collaborated with Fatboy Slim, whose real name is Norman Cook, on the uptempo track.

She said: ‘To not only get Norman’s stamp of approval, but to actually collaborate with him and pay homage to such a massive song from my childhood was truly a surreal experience.

‘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 honoured that we get to breathe new life into the song and re-introduce it to a whole new generation.’ 

Speaking of the rework, Norman added: ‘From a chance meeting late one night in the Naughty Corner at Glastonbury a friendship and collaboration grew that on paper may look unlikely. Yet here it is, and it has a life of its own!’

The accompanying video, directed by Rita’s husband Taika Waititi, sees her audition with a group of dancers for the role of their dreams and features a cameo from Fatboy Slim. 

With a nod to the Praise You video, Rita leads the troupe through their haphazard routine, slowly winning over the judges in what turns into a massive Studio 54-esque number complete with glamorous outfit changes and stellar choreography 

Rita will perform Praising You for the first time at the Eurovision Song Contest semi-final 1 on Tuesday May 9.
