It was reported earlier in the year that Ora had been working with British DJ Sigala, and now the duo’s greatly anticipated single has been released. The track was co-written by Ora’s creative partner and best friend, Charli XCX. The pair previously worked together in 2015, when Charli XCX released an alternative mix of Ora’s single ‘Doing It’.

British producer and DJ, Sigala, otherwise known as Bruce Fielder, has spoken out about the track and credits his team to the single’s upcoming success. “I’m so excited to release this track with the incredible Rita Ora. This track was co-written by pop genius Charli XCX, it’s euphoric, it’s happy, and I’m hoping it’s a sign of things to come.”

Ora has also commented on the trio’s new track, the singer has also described the song’s purpose and atmospheric nature whilst expressing her excitement over its release. “It’s been amazing to work with Sigala and making new music. The track is such a feel-good summer tune, I can’t wait for you all to hear it.”

Sigala uploaded a lyric video for the trio’s new track via his YouTube channel today, check out the video below.

The new track marks Ora’s first release since ‘Bang’, released 12th February 2021. The track saw Ora collaborate with Imanbek, the Kazakh producer responsible for the 2019 remix of ‘Roses’ by Saint Jhn. The producer won a Grammy award for the track, the win made him the first artist from Kazakhstan to win the award and marked the first Grammy win for an artist from the Commonwealth of Independent States. Earlier in the year Ora confirmed that she is working on her third studio album and promised fans something different than she has done before.

In other news, Ora’s partner Taika Waititi has spoken out about the photo which surfaced showing him acting affectionally towards Ora and ‘Thor’ actress Tessa Thompson. The Oscar Winning director spoke with The Sydney Morning Herald concerning the photo. In the interview he was asked if the leaked photo upset him, to which he replied: “Not really, I think in the world of the internet, everything goes away pretty quick. And also, ‘is it that big a deal? No, not really. I was doing nothing wrong. It’s fine.” As the photo was published during production for the director’s new film ‘Thor: Love and Thunder’, the Bafta award winner was chastised. The Daily Telegraph previously reported that the heads at Marvel were not entirely happy with Waititi after the image went viral and stated that it was “not exactly the image they’re looking to project in relation to one of their biggest franchises”.

Fans will not have to wait long to hear the new track, Ora is set to play Cinch presents TRNSMT 2021, the artist is included in the line up for the festival’s rescheduled event due to COVID-19. Ora will perform on Sunday 11th July 2021 at Glasgow Green, along with headliners Lewis Capaldi and Snow Patrol. With the new track’s ‘Summer vibe’ qualities and playful electronic instrumentation, it is sure to be the perfect festival track this Summer.

The video includes footage from behind the decks at some the the DJ’s biggest shows around the world and gives a unique perspective which one does not usually consider from the audience. It is possible to feel some of the true gravity of performing to sold out crowds at some of the world’s biggest venues and the excitement that Sigala must feel when delivering his songs to his fans.

Sigala has worked with some of the biggest names in pop with James Arthur, Becky Hill, Ella Henderson all featuring on tracks recently, not to mention Paloma Faith and The Vamps. It is likely due to this ability to collaborate with absolutely every big name in pop music today that has driven his success as a DJ, leading to the point where he has been able to embark upon world tours and achieved such widespread appreciation.

Sigla’s most recent output, called ‘Lasting Lover,’ saw him get together with singer-songwriter James Arthur to produce a track which has now received over 8 million views on Youtube and reached number 10 on the UK singles charts when it was released in September this year. While this year has likely been as difficult for Sigla as for many other artists in the industry with touring out of the question throughout 2020, it is good to see that he has managed to remain productive and continue releasing music which has been received well by the public.

Fans will likely be enjoying the James Arthur track despite the ongoing restrictions across the country and desperately hoping for a follow up to the Smoke and Mirrors tour to come in 2021 which will give them the change to experience the new track and many more live with todays behind the scenes footage both reminding loyal fans of the good times they’ve had and exciting new fans with what they have in store when live music is finally allowed to return in the UK.

Fans of Sigala will have been pleased to find their favourite DJ remaining active and keeping them entertained with regular content being uploaded to his social including a TikTok fan compilation video for ‘Lasting Lover,’ which made use of the new platforms popularity amongst young people and its especially strong connection with music with songs playing a very strong role in its format and many musicians releasing their own content on there. TikTok has even seen its own stars being made with artists like Doja Cat rising to fame largely due to the popularity of her songs amongst its users.

Lasting Lover came out earlier this month, on September 5th, and was met with a positive reception. The song was originally written by Lewis Capaldi who sent it over to the chart topping DK Sigala to work on. Sigala said that the song ‘came to [him] as a ballad, just like an acoustic song with just guitar and his voice on it. [He] worked on it a bit and got in touch with James from there just to see if he wanted to sing it. It’s really cool to have him involved.’

James Arthur, winner of X Factor 2012, is equally excited about the project. He ‘really enjoyed working with Sigala on this absolute banger‘, calling him a ‘real G‘. James Arthur, who usually performs acoustic ballads like Say You Won’t Let Go and Can I Be Him, recognises that Lasting Lover is a ‘change of direction’ for him.

The song opens with a sample from MGMT’s Time To Pretend, and is an upbeat dance track fitting for an Ibizan club. Arthur’s vocals surprisingly work perfectly with this, resulting in an ‘emotional club banger‘ that gets your feet moving. The release comes after a series of successful collaborations on Sigala’s part, showing his ability to blend his signature house/EDM beats with a range of vocals.

Arthur and Sigala were forced to work on Lasting Lover over Zoom because of Lockdown restrictions. Eventually, the pair met in real life on the set for the music video and luckily ‘got on just as well in real life’. The chemistry between them can be felt in their Britain’s Got Talent performance, which was seamless and energetic.

Arthur said he had ‘so much fun’ throughout the performance while Sigala thanked BGT for having them and stated that it ‘felt so so good to get back on stage performing’. Let’s hope that the pair have many more opportunities to play this banger live in the future!

Felt so so good to get back on stage performing! Thank you for having us @BGT #LastingLover @JamesArthur23 https://t.co/9SHRAWl1Ph

Lasting Lover is currently claiming the #1 spot on the UK Songs Top Entries List on iTunes. The new track has knocked Midnight Sun, the new Miley Cyrus song, off of the top spot.

As the title suggests, Lasting Lover celebrates the strength of enduring love. Famed for his raspy, raw vocals, James Arthur sings of being overtaken by your love for another. Arthur croons wistful lyrics such as “I don’t know why I can’t quite/Get you out my sight/You’re always just behind/You’re stored across my mind” that encapsulates this feeling perfectly. 

Bubbling with high energy, Sigala’s bright, pop-house production serves as the song’s upbeat backing track. Meanwhile, Arthur sings romantic lyrics about surrendering yourself to the swept-away feeling of new love, and hoping the feeling lasts: “Take my heart and run away/She said, “I’ve been looking for a lasting lover”

Lasting Lover is made for the dancefloor. Like many of Sigala’s hits, including recent track Heaven On My Mind with Becky Hill, Lasting Lover is a breath of fresh air that will have the listener moving in no time.

Lasting Lover coming Friday @sigalamusic A post shared by James Arthur (@jamesarthur23) on Aug 31, 2020 at 9:22am PDT

Before Sigala turned the track into a polished pop banger, Lasting Lover was originally created as an acoustic song. Sigala chatted about working with both Capaldi and Arthur in a recent interview with Hits Radio, explaining that “The song came from Lewis. It was amazing. It came to me as a ballad, just like an acoustic song with just guitar and his voice on it. 

Sigala elaborated on how the track came to be, explaining that “I worked on it a bit and I got in touch with James from there just to see if he wanted to sing it. It’s really cool to have him involved.” Sigala confirmed that the two have since become fast friends: “We worked across Zoom for a long time and finally met on the set of the music video. Luckily, we got on just as well in real life.”

Sigala, real name Bruce Fielder, took to social media in celebration of Lasting Lover reaching iTunes #1. Sharing a screenshot of the coveted chart list to Instagram, Sigala thanked his fans for the glowing reception to Lasting Lover, writing in the punny caption: “Thanks so much to everyone for the incredible support already! Hopefully, the love for this tune is lasting!”. It certainly seems that way, as the post received over 1,800 likes and comments!

Lasting Lover is out everywhere now.

Heaven On My Mind is also the second teaser from Becky Hill’s keenly awaited upcoming album, the title or details of which is yet to be revealed. Fans have high expectations following Get To Know (2019), her debut compilation album that shot Hill to pop royalty. Following her prior release Better Off Without You (featuring Shift K3y), Heaven On My Mind is another surefire hit from the singer-songwriter. Released on the 25th June, it is a passionate, pop/dance soon-to-be chart anthem that seamlessly intertwines Hill’s powerful vocals and a layered piano house backing track.  Due to the single being released in the midst of the coronavirus pandemic, the hopeful lyrics represent a high spirited message that resonates within listeners now more than ever. It is abundantly clear that Heaven On My Mind is a future club classic. 

The single has already garnered a fantastic response from fans, with the music video receiving over 12,000 views on YouTube in the past ten hours. An artsy montage between whimsical party scenes and Hill strutting around amongst clouds, the angelic effects behind the already popular music video are a perfect match for the self-empowered, catchy chorus. Hill also took to Instagram at 5:30 pm today with Sigala to post ‘HOW WE MADE HEAVEN ON MY MIND’, in which the two hitmakers chatted about the new single whilst messing around with Instagram filters. The eleven-minute video was met with a warm response from fans and has gathered over 7,000 views in four hours. When asked by Bruce what “drew her to the song”, Hill replied that “I was so miserable last year, this song came through and reminded me that ‘Oh wait, I can be happy, there is a light at the end of the tunnel’. I really liked that idea at the time because I would not have written something like that”.

Sigala (real name Bruce Fielder) also collaborated with Craig David on the single ‘Ain’t Giving Up’. Some say Sigala is going to be the next David Guetta or Armand Van Helden: a superb achievement for a DJ and producer only in his early-twenties. Watch ‘Give Me Your Love’ below.
