Rita Ora's new album has been inspired by Taika Waititi. The 31-year-old singer started dating the acclaimed filmmaker in 2021, and their recent wedding is said to have been a major inspiration for her upcoming third album.
A source explained: "Rita has poured her heart and soul into this album. "After her last record she decided to learn how to produce and has effectively taken on the role of executive producer. "The majority of the songs have been written by her and tell the story of going from party girl to settling down with Taika. " Rita - who released her last album, 'Phoenix', in 2018 - hopes to release her new record in 2023.
However, she's still been working on new material over recent weeks. The insider told The Sun newspaper's Bizarre column: "The plan is to release the album in the first half of 2023, but nothing is set in stone.
