SE VIDEON TILL “HEAT” (FRÅN 5PM BST) HÄR

PRESSRELEASE – London 6 juni 2025 – Idag skruvar Rita Ora upp temperaturen rejält när hon släpper efterlängtad ny musik.
“Heat” släpps samma dag som hon uppträder på World Pride Music Festival i Washington, D.C.

“Heat” är producerad av Peter Thomas (P!nk, Selena Gomez, Teddy Swims), som skrivit låten tillsammans med Leland, Michael Matosic, och Troye Sivan. En både djärv och lekfull låt som är fylld med soldränkt energi.

Rita säger: “Dropping “Heat” on the same day as my World Pride performance feels like the perfect way to kick off summer — it’s such a special moment for me and for my fans who have supported me over the years. I’m obsessed with this track, and honestly, I just wanted to have fun with it! It’s bold, cheeky, and totally drenched in golden, feel-good energy. For me, it’s all about celebrating freedom, joy, being unapologetically yourself and owning who you are!"

Rita introducerade “Heat” redan när hon öppnade för Kylie Minogue under den amerikanska delen av hennes “Tension”-turné och kommer att bli ett storslaget inslag i Ritas show.

Videon till “Heat”, som är regisserad av Justin Daashuur Hopkins, är inspelad på soldränkta Miami Beach och kastar oss in i en surrealistisk dag tillsammans med några av stadens mest eklektiska strandgäster.

I rik technicolor, inspirerad av den legendariske fotografen och fotojournalisten Martin Parr, hyllar videon den vilda, svettiga och härligt excentriska andan I Miamis strandkultur – en värld där det alltid är sommar.

Rita Oras flerfaldigt platinabelönade musikkarriär har hyllats både kommersiellt och av musikkritiker och noterat 13 topp 10-placerade singlar och fyra förstaplaceringar på den brittiska singellistan. I Storbritannien var hon en av de första att tilldelas en BRIT Billion-utmärkelse efter att ha passerat en miljard streams i landet. I USA har hennes hyllade singlar och stjärnspäckade samarbeten resulterat i en tredjeplats på Billboard Hot 100, sju topp 10-hits på Billboards Dance Club Songs Chart – varav fem nådde förstaplatsen – samt sex topp 20-singlar på Billboard’s Hot Dance/Electronic Songs Chart. Rita Oras senaste studioalbum, You & I (släppt 2023), tog sig direkt upp på första plats på den brittiska officiella listan för oberoende album och blev, med en sjätteplats, högst placerade kvinnliga nykomling på UK Official Albums Chart.
