You can't keep a good mogul down. Rita Ora has announced that her third album is officially on the way!

Following on from her 2012 debut Number 1 album ORA and its streaming-smash follow up, 2018's Phoenix, Rita completes her first trilogy of LPs with the new record You & I, slated to drop July 14.

Her first album since signing with BMG (with whom she earns all the rights to her own master recordings, we love a businesswoman), You & I follows in the footsteps of its lead single, the catchy You Only Love Me, and its latest cut - Praising You, which features a sample of Fatboy Slim's iconic 1998 hit, Praise You.

Described as the most "diacritic" project yet by the multi-hyphenate star, Rita co-wrote every track on the album, which has been executive produced by Oak Felder, who has worked with the likes of Demi Lovato, Ariana Grande and Lizzo.
