I've been trying to research Rita Ora and her music ever since my sister and I checked out Roc Nation's roster and realized we'd never heard an ounce of her work.  Unfortunately, the mystery behind the Kosovo born, London bred continues, but it seems that the world is one step closer to hearing her actually sing.  Watch below as she explains her background, her almost finished debut album, and her recent collaborations.



Hopefully, in the next edition of her vlog, we get to hear her chops!
