Rita Ora Gets Advice From Chris Martin For Debut Album

Rita Ora and Chris Martin have teamed up in an unlikely partnership, according to the 21 year-old pop sensation. Rita Ora was speaking to The Metro and mentioned that the Coldplay star hadn't been in the studio with her, but gave the fledging starlet much needed advice on things like choosing the track list and its order. What a nice bloke.

Ora, who has been supporting Martin's band on tour, said "He went through my songs and told me what he liked. After my final show supporting Coldplay, we all went around to his house and I played him my songs and he helped me pick the order for the album." The singer added: "He said to think of the ones that mean the most to me. He said he loved the way I perform - that I have a lot of energy." There's another connection with Martin too, with Ora becoming very much part of a music friendship group, having signed to Martin's good pal Jay Z's label Roc Nation. She's set to gain her first UK number one album with Ora, which is currently sitting top of the midweek charts.

Ora did say that getting used to the fame had been hard, telling the Metro "It's difficult when there's stuff in the paper moaning that I haven't had my roots done. If I'm working all the time, doing breakfast radio, an interview, a show and a photoshoot in a day, when am I going to get my roots done? It's flattering when people know who you are and get your name tattooed on them."
