Industry leading singer-songwriter Rita Ora is back with a new single, “Praising You (ft. Fatboy Slim)”, premiered by Zane Lowe on Apple Music 1. The track is a rework of Grammy-nominated “Praise You”, honouring the chart-topping anthem on its 25th anniversary with its original piano riff and chorus — and an updated story. Rita’s version of the tale is one of falling in love, completely entranced by its powers. As the weather warms, this EDM summer single is bound to be on all of your playlists.
On the song, Rita Ora says: “To not only get Norman (Fatboy Slim)’s stamp of approval, but to actually collaborate with him and pay homage to such a massive song from my childhood was truly a surreal experience. I think this record means something different for everyone, but from my perspective, it’s about praising your loved ones and really celebrating those relationships. I’m incredibly honoured that we get to breathe new life into the song and re-introduce it to a whole new generation.” Its accompanying music video features a cameo from Fatboy Slim itself, and is also out now.
“Praising You (ft. Fatboy Slim)” comes hours after Rita announced her highly anticipated third album, You & I, which is out on July 14. It will cover the various chapters of her relationship, and with Ora having co-written every track, it is set to be the singer’s most introspective and personal project to date.
