Not content with having chart domination throughout the majority of 2012 with a number one album, two solo number one singles and another as a featured artist, Rita Ora is back with her fourth solo single and from the sounds of it she may get her another top ten.
Opening with a slow build up of dance music, which is slightly different to her previous releases, ‘Radioactive’ focuses on the vocals of the London-based singer before breaking into an eclectic mix of dance music that appears to be inspired by chart hits from the 90s to now.
The song itself seems a little darker than her previous singles and makes you feel like you should be dancing-till-you-drop in the darkest corner of a seedy nightclub somewhere. Although the verses are a little slower than her other singles, there’s no denying the shouty and chanting chorus will have everyone dancing along in the coming weeks.
We’re also treated to a mini musical breakdown towards the end of the track before Ora returns to the song telling everyone that ‘we rise tonight’ and to ‘unite’.
Rita Ora is a musically eclectic breath of fresh air with her mix of many dance inspirations coupled with R&B, and is most definitely on her way to becoming the British equivalent of Rihanna. However, it has to be pointed out that she has a much better voice that her bad girl counterpart.
All in all this is an excellent dance song that will have people moving around until the small hours for quite some time. With ‘Radioactive’ she definitely has another hit on her hands.
