Rita Ora Channels 2006 Beyoncé In New Leaked Song "Solid Ground": Listen

That second Rita Ora album is so long overdue. It really is taking forever to see the light of day, although it’s kind of justified in the end as the British singer had to start from scratch when her ex-boyfriend DJ Calvin Harris prohibited that any of the several songs he had produced for Rita’s new album be ultimately included after she allegedly cheated on him. Calvin was pissed, and that was his revenge; ruining Rita’s new album release, which was set for the summer of 2014, and now it’s expected to come out “later in 2015” via Roc Nation with new productions from the likes of Diplo or Dr. Luke.

Anyway, I’m anticipating that forthcoming Rita album and hopefully the new material is good and she doesn’t have to regret losing those Calvin songs at all.

New (old?) music

A new Rita Ora song titled “Solid Ground” surfaced online today (March 28). Produced by Stargate, and written by August Rigo, this sounds like a Beyoncé unreleased from the “B’Day” era. Very “Irreplaceable”-esque indeed. It really took Stargate a lot of time to detach from that sound, huh? In any case, for a second I thought this was going to be a song from Rita’s upcoming album but then I remember it’s 2015 and not 2006 and releasing this kind of R&B music is just suicide in the days we’re living in. It turns out the song is a leftover from Rita’s 2012 debut album "Ora".

“Solid Ground” is a pretty song but the heavy “Irreplaceable” similarity is just too much of a burden. I think that was probably the reason why it wasn’t ultimately included on Rita's debut. So yeah, it's definitely cute, but a bit “forgettable” too, I probably won’t be listening to it again, but I don’t mind having heard it once. Rita’s vocals are strong and super well-controlled, and although the lyrics are too cheesy, they’re kind of cute too. “Solid Ground” is about a woman (Rita in this case) who has a very busy life, flies a lot, and her only wish every day she has to catchy a flight is to return home with the most speed to hug her boo again. Awww! Definitely give this a listen. It'll help us deal with the waiting for her next album.
