Rita Ora juices new single with sexy snap in orange bikini and statement necklace
Rita Ora was appealing in orange Saturday as she continued to promote her upcoming single. In a sizzling social media post, the 34-year-old singer was seen in a skimpy orange bikini that highlighted her trim figure. She accessorized her swimwear with stacked gold earrings, a chunky statement necklace, and a delicate belly chain. Wearing her dark blonde hair in an effortless up-do, Rita showed off her sun-kissed glow. Teasing her fans with a playful warning, she wrote: 'Heat coming June 6th!! Get your bikinis out… or else!' Rita's boasted about the upcoming hit, which is just days away from being released. In the single, she said: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.' Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled fourth album, which will be her first album release since You & I from 2023. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from Tension - Padam Padam - was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie. But several artists were asked if they wanted to record it, including the Anywhere singer, because they didn't feel it was a Kylie song. Lostboy told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: 'We wrote Padam in February 2022 and there were maybe four or five months of us sitting on it, then I sent it to their label, and someone suggested to me, "Kylie would kill this." ' He added: 'They were unsure and there was a moment when Rita was going to cut it and it was worming around a few artists on that label. 'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.' It comes after she kicked off her support gig on the tour in April at Atlanta's State Farm Arena. Rita gushed after her gig: 'First night of the tour, wow the reception was incredible and I'm so grateful for this opportunity to connect with North America. 'It feels like such a huge compliment to open up for such an icon.' Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, DC. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK. But she has only now begun to make a name for herself in the U.S. following the success of Padam Padam. In the past Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on Stateside didn't faze her and she enjoyed her anonymity there. However, her record label revealed in 2023 that the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the American market.

Jade announces debut solo album That's Showbiz Baby! and first headline tour
Jade will release her debut solo album, 'That's Showbiz Baby!', on September 12. The former Little Mix star has unveiled her first full body of work and announced her first solo UK and Ireland tour, which will take place this October and November. The 'Angel of My Dreams' singer worked with huge names, including Mike Sabath, Lostboy, Cirkut, RAYE and Pablo Bowman on the collection. The tour includes stops in Dublin, Belfast, Brighton, Manchester, Glasgow, Leeds, Birmingham and Newcastle, before wrapping at London's iconic Roundhouse. Jade said: "This album has been years in the making, so I'm beyond excited that I can finally let everyone know when it's coming out. I'm very proud of 'That's Showbiz Baby!' as a body of work and can't wait to share it with the world. To be able to perform the album live later this year is also a dream come true. See you all on tour!" The album's title is poignant as Jade recently admitted she possibly "sold her soul" for fame. The 32-year-old pop star was in her late teens when she won the UK version of 'The X Factor' alongside Perrie Edwards, Leigh-Anne Pinnock, and Jesy Nelson as part of Little Mix, but admitted that she just "signed on the dotted line" without really thinking about it. Speaking on an episode of 'The Assembly' - in which all questions are asked by neurodivergent individuals - she was asked whether she felt as if she had "sold her soul" and replied: "You've trumped me ... Maybe a little bit in the beginning. "I was so young and I just signed on the dotted line. 'But as the years have gone by I've learned more and more about the industry. 'I've been collecting — a bit like [Marvel superhero] Thanos with the stones — I've been collecting parts of my soul back as I've gained more creative freedom." The 'IT Girl' hitmaker also admitted that she thinks the kind of way in which she became famous has been and gone but she is not entirely sure that music mogul Simon Cowell - who created 'The X Factor' and the 'Got Talent' franchises, and also headed up Syco Music - is going anywhere. She said: "I think it's the end of that kind of TV show or music label. "I think it's the end of that era. 'But I don't know if Simon Cowell specifically has ended.' It was suggested previously that the lyric 'sold my soul to a psycho' from her 'Angel of my Dreams' track was a dig at Simon but Jade later clarified in an interview that that was not necessarily the case. She told Beat magazine: 'It's not specifically about that. 'But I wanted the song to be my journey, from entering the music business to now, and what that's felt like. That's why the song feels so chaotic. 'The opening is like the music to that montage bit on The X Factor after you've won, and you're just catapulted into the industry.' She added: 'I don't want to sit here and bash the last 13 years of my life. I'm very happy and content. But like with any job, there are highs and lows. That's just life, and it's my reality, but it's about writing it in a way that's not woe is me.' Pre-orders for 'Showbiz Baby!' are live now at Fans can pre-order any format from Jade's UK store by May 20 at 5pm UK to gain early pre-sale ticket access for the tour.

The upcoming hit, which is set to be released on June, 6, Rita boasted about being down and dirty outside. In the single, she said: 'Your heat on me. Sex on sight. Anywhere you like. Inside or outside.' Heat is expected to feature on her upcoming, still untitled, fourth album, which will be her first album release since her 2023 You & I. Rita has recently been supporting Kylie for the first leg of her tour after she previously revealed that Kylie's 2023 mega-hit from 'Tension', 'Padam Padam', was nearly given to her. The synth-pop banger - penned by Norwegian singer-songwriter Ina Wroldsen and producer Lostboy - was a viral hit for Kylie.

'They were trying to make it work but they didn't think it was for Kylie.' Kylie's Tension Tour will conclude on August 26. She will then head to New York for two shows at Madison Square Garden before stopping for one show at Capital One Arena in Washington, D.C. The star is the highest-selling Australian female artist of all time and the third best-selling in the UK, but has only now begun to make a name for herself in the US following the success of her viral 2023 hit Padam Padam. In the past Kylie has claimed her failure to catch on stateside didn't phase her and she enjoyed her anonymity there. However, her record label revealed in 2023 that the singer now has her eyes firmly set on cracking the US market. Padam Padam and follow-up album Tension helped turn her fortunes around in America and landed her a Grammy, a second number one on the US Billboard's Top Dance/Electronic Albums chart and a Las Vegas residency before she was tapped to join Netflix show, The Residence. In her return to acting Kylie, who first found fame in Aussie soap Neighbours, plays a heightened and foul-mouthed version of herself in the screwball murder mystery set in the White House. Speaking about her lack of success stateside Kylie said in 2022 she had 'resigned myself to the fact that America wouldn't be like the rest of the world for me. I'm anonymous there — which, I must confess, I kind of like.' As well as telling The Express in 2009: 'It doesn't frustrate me [not cracking America]. It's frustrating being asked about it and the assumption that it's something really missing in my career and in my life.' 'It just so happens that I live in London and my time is spent more throughout Europe and then there's the Asian connection through Australia but the U.S.A. has remained at arm's length.' The Residence, from Bridgerton boss Shonda Rhimes, also stars Orange Is The New Black's Uzo Aduba and Marvel's Randall Park. Fans were obsessed with Kylie's cameo and many branded her the star of the show, as they wrote on X, formerly Twitter: 'I'll see this because of Kylie! 'THE only reason to watch is Kylie Minogue,'; 'We need to get kylie minogue an emmy for the residence,'; 'I LOVE Kylie Minogue! I'm happy to see her in anything! She is the OG!'; 'Kylie on her way to EGOT,'; 'One of the best parts of #TheResidence is seeing Kylie Minogue in the actual show. Like I was not expecting her to be in the episode… BUT she was actually there! Shonda Rhimes got budget!!!'; 'My favourite part of The Residence on Netflix so far is that Kylie Minogue is a central plot point,'; 'Top three best parts about The Residence was seeing Kylie Minogue again.' While discussing her plans to crack America Jamie Nelson, SVP of U.K. Recordings at Minogue's label BMG, confirmed to Variety in 2023 that the label was always 'confident' Padam Padam would do well, but admitted that the song's success has exceeded their expectations. 'It's now flipping into an area that's unprecedented, not just for her, but for a lot of projects that have got so much history,' he said, crediting TikTok and social media for the song's viral success. 'There's a lot of heat and excitement about the record in America and we'll continue to constantly build that story,' he added. Kylie addressed her chart comeback on social media recently, thanking fans for their support. 'It has been an incredible week topped off by being my birthday today and I can't thank you enough. My heart is bursting with joy so thank you so so much,' she gushed. 'What an incredible, another wild turn in my life and my career. Thank you so much for all of your love and support, everyone who has got onto Padam Padam and made this possible for me. I love you, thank you so so much.'
