    New Song: Rita Ora – ‘Roc The Life’

    Written by TriniTrent | Filed under Rita Ora
    Rita Ora Roc the Life TheLavaLizard

    Rita Ora’s ‘Roc the Life’ single cover.

    You know how this story goes: when Rita Ora is in the media spotlight, she steals the entire show. Following the unveiling of her ‘ORA’ deluxe edition cover, the inescapable singer released the studio recording of her new song and latest promotional single, ‘Roc the Life’.

    We’ve all seen Ora perform ‘Roc the Life’ during various television appearances so don’t expect anything new in the song except a clearer beat and a few curse words. Also, remember that her next official single from ‘ORA’ is ‘Radioactive’, as she announced on 96.5 KISS FM.

    Listen to Ora’s ‘Roc the Life’ below:

      Great song.

      But yeah you might want to change the picture because the one you have is tagged by another blogger who had it first.

    • RihRules

      I’m…actually…like this song….what the hell is wrong with me?

      @Trav didn’t you see the word ‘released’ hyperlinked to a source?

    • Ms. Boss

      I”M BACK FROM VACATION BITCHES!!!!!!!!! I like this song but I don’t LOVE it. I haven’t LOVED anything Rita dropped so far and that’s the problem I think most people have with her.

      @Trav you just got CLOCKED by RihRules LOL!! I have MISSED this site and now I’m back ready to get messy again!!

    • Liberiangirl

      No, No, and No! Ugh, I rushed on here following Trents’ tweet and this is what I hear. I love her voice and really liked “R.I.P” but this not so much. I guess I’ll wait to hear what the rest of her album sounds like.

      No, just no

    • Cranberry

      Four songs in a row that have been bland as hell. Lord.

    • Girrrl

      This looks similar to Pink’s single cover.

    • DOMOdotSCORE

      I like the performances better because she’s too vocally restrained in this studio version. But it’s still my jam.

    • Benron

      Nothing New, sound like a Rihanna Reject. All her songs sound like Loud/Rated R rejected songs and have teh same fake contrived swag. It has a horrible intro and if she is so “talented” why does she need autotune.

      Its catchy at parts but really weak at others…

    • David

      Rihanna…is that you? no, it’s just the Rihanna clone lmaoo. i’m convinced she was given all of rihanna’s reject songs. smh, her voice doesn’t match these songs

    • Ci’Yonce

      This song is dope.

    • babe

      This girl needs a song that showcases her vocals. She is going to end up like Chris Brown who has the potential to sing but has almost ruined that chance because of his choice of songs. Rita, you better be thankful you can sing! Rihanna, J-Lo, Madonna, Janet, Katy P etc wish they could sing for shit!

      Also, she needs to work on her next album asap..avoid being a Rihanna clone.. Try and convince Jay, even if it means babysitting Blue Ivy for the day or being the Carter’s maid for the weekend. The smartest thing Rihanna has ever done is when she decided to create her own lane with that Good Girl Gone Bad album..No one calls her a Beyonce wannabe anymore.

    • beautyfulchaos

      I love this song! i think the live version she did for MTV was better because it really showed how amazing her voice is. This version seems so toned down and restrained. Rita is great live i know that for sure so those who say she can’t sing are sadly mistaken.

    • Ugh

      I like it

    • http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lSOeAIY52sk&feature=related Matthew Charlery-Smith

      It started interesting then became a bit boring and monotonous. When songs are around 4+ minutes they need to have more diversity. She can sing but she needs to avoid that “RIhanna-Caribbean” twang in her voice, not attractive.

      She should do well though, with correct marketing she can go double platinum in the UK but she’s been over-exposed and isn’t really giving anything super unique or interesting.

    • olly_tei

      I like this track, its giving me good vibes. Could’ve played more with its progression, I think her delivery is kinda dull on the track though. Its sounds as if she’s bored.

      It reminds me of a lessor “Schoolin Life”

    • Jeweley girl

      The MTV live performance was better. It was more of a
      dance type version, this one is more of an Urban type
      version song. I want him to stop making Rita be carbon
      copy of his wife and Rihanna. It is insulting to Rita and
      her fans.

    • larry

      that intro is soo Rihanna and so is the singing! smhh
