Another hidden gem that surfaced came from the world of Chris Hall, seemingly jailbaited gossip of an upcoming collaboration or a live show with pop idol Rita Ora. The Instagram bombshell is captioned by Hall, ‘Its heat ON – we love ya @ritaora tysm for having us!!’ The glimpse is an actual tease-a powerful beat featuring sun-kissed lyrics demanding to be a summer anthem. Brief though it is, the clip teases us with rapid beats filled with repetitive hooks that will stubbornly stick in one’s head like melted gum on hot pavement.

The transcriptions read something about ‘Only, only, only, only’ and ‘All we do now, good that, all me’ with a thumping bassline from behind. This chant is classic Rita – making choruses for dancing is her forte. Rita has been on quite a growth spurt of late, and with her gearing up for a summer tour, this clip really might be a hint of her next single.
The comments went seriously nuts: ‘Omg, she’s there!!! Yaaaaasss, love Rita!’ ‘This is why Rita is literally the best, shes such a grounded queen empress.’ That surge of excitement in the comment stream, however, was not only fueled by Ora’s presence but also by the considerable chatter for what they already dubbed ‘song of the summer.’ One writes, ‘that’s my song of the summer,’ claiming their rightful warm-weather anthem.
Interestingly, somewhat related to Ora’s latest undertakings, some comments read, ‘New hit song, new dry shampoo that grows your hair… this is Rita’s summer,’ referring to Ora’s haircare line setting off waves. Another added, ‘Love the Dry Shampoo microphone. Lol.’ Now that’s the good synergy between art and business!
Foreigners were joining the chatter: a German one, Helmut Floer, commented (translated): ‘You three are fantastic, you simply can’t find peace. You always have to make music. Is “Heat” a new title from you? I wish you all the best.’ Such international allusion is a nod to Ora’s worldwide vibe-whether in beats or beauty.
Not all comments remained on topic. A chunk of comments brought in politicized messages concerning Tanzania and Iran, which the moderators will have to finagle out. But overwhelmingly, the dominating feeling is that they are excited beyond words for what Rita Ora is up to. To sum it up perfectly: ‘IF THERE IS 2 THINGS @ritaora IS GONNA GIVE US…… IS A LOOK AND A HOOK! OKAY.’
