Rita Ora's US Debut Is 'Whole New Album'

Rita Ora has told MTV News that her debut US long player will be a "whole new album".

The British star released her international debut album ORA last year, but has revealed that the collection is being re-tooled as she attempts to break the US.

She told our US team: "There's a few surprises. I don't want to give them away, but it's definitely in the Roc family.

"2013 is really important for me because it's gonna be the first time the US hears my official album and I wanted to put a few extra tracks on there and make it really special.

"I'm basically giving you guys a whole new album of new material. To the world it'll be like a second album, but to you guys it'll be like a first album."

Meanwhile her next single, Radioactive, will be released on 11 February.

Rita was in the news before Christmas when it emerged that she was rumoured to have hooked up with actor Jonah Hill.
