RITA ORA

Six years after her platinum charttopping debut, Ora, comes the second outing from the multitasking Kosovan singer, actress, model and reality TV judge. Delayed by a lawsuit against her former label Roc Nation, it’s been preceded by a four-single build-up, including her For You (Fifty Shades Freed) hook-up with Liam Payne, and the Cardi B, Charli XCX, Bebe Rexha collaboration Girls.

Phoenix offers few surprises. Summed up by Velvet Rope, where “champagne runs dry” and musical fizz falls flat.
