Rita Ora - Party and Bullshit


Rita Ora. You'll know her vocals - she was 'the voice' behind DJ Fresh smash Hot Right Now. And while we were a little unconvinced by that track - it felt too similar to the previous DJ Fresh record, Louder - Rita's first proper solo offering represents a far more attractive prospect.

The tantalisingly named Party and Bullshit sees Rita lined up as Ke$ha/Katy Perry type, out to cause some mischief and mayhem. Signed to Roc Nation, there's certainly now the heft for her to start punching up there with the pop heavyweights, and with dreamy refrains of 'when the sun sets baby, on the avenue...', Party and Bullshit feels so of the moment, so neatly positioned to enter the pop market, you feel you could almost pen Rita down as an assured success already.

From dance diva to pop starlet, Rita Ora seems to be turning heads whichever way she goes.

J Cole feat. Trey Songz - Can't Get Enough


When you become the first signing to Jay Z's Roc Nation label, you know the big bucks are behind you. For young rapper J Cole, it's the start of something truly special. Touted as the 'long awaited return of real hip-hop', J Cole makes a fair stab at recalling the best moments of rap legacy - dipping into the sounds of decade ago to afford his new single Can't Get Enough a rich, golden lustre of heritage.

Currently fresh from supporting our very own rap star Tinie Tempah, J Cole will be looking to replicate his success - and with millions of Vevo hits in the US already, it's not far of a leap to imagine he'll easily transfer that success to these shores. With the Can't Get Enough video full of an assortment of 'babes' enjoying a beach party, J Cole taps into a more simple vein of pleasure than the heady, overbearing rap-dance combos of recent months.

Back to basics, back to a more streamlined kind of rap, J Cole represents a real up and coming talent.

Can't Get Enough is released on the 28th November.
