Prince & Rita Ora - "Champagne Kisses"

In a recent interview, singer Rita Ora talks about Prince calling her to come play ping-pong and writing a song together. The clip is under a minute.

Sorry, it's the Hodgkin's talking.

Champagne Kisses is allegedly what U Will Be turned into. I dunno, doesn't sound like a Prince song title but stranger things.

Never been sure what he saw in this talent especially to write quite so many songs for her that she didn't even bother to use.

Or he never gave her full permission? There are so many folks with those stories.

Even Kylie Minogue has a song somewhere, that she can't find.

I'm fairly sure he would've wanted the synergy of their two releases like he had with No Doubt during Rave. Her release was delayed for who knows what, but probably cuz her material was substandard.

Ha, like musical talent was ever that important. She was pretty, if not a stunner, and 32 years younger. What more could a guy want?

I'm just sat here still waiting for the full version of "The Single Most Amazing" to surface.

Preferably the one with Prince's guide vocal smile

That's not why her album was delayed. And it was produced by someone who's produced streams of hit songs for countless acts (as well as himself) over the last 15 years. So the only thing substandard would be your ability to do 2 seconds of googling.

blah blah blah

Dang, who knew we had the one Rita Ora stan as an orger.

The question wasn't whether the material was substandard - it was. And I'm not sure which producer you're talking about but it better not be Calvin Harris who has himself admitted he only did one song for her album and it was shit. We also can guess her stuff with Prince could be shit too considering her contribution to HNR1 was awful.

So luck has it that she turned out two albums that were substandard and her label went with the sexier stuff and it flopped.

LOL... "Aint About To Stop" is easily one of the 5 or 10 worse songs ever associated with Prince Nelson
