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.
