ORA DROPS CATCHY NEW SINGLE ‘DON’T THINK TWICE’

BRITISH singer-songwriter Rita Ora has released a brand new single “Don’t Think Twice.” The release comes hot on the heels of her surprise appearance on stage with Fatboy Slim at Glastonbury and ahead of her performance at Pride Festival on July 1 in London.

Co-written by Rita and produced by Oak Felder, “Don’t Think Twice” follows the release of singles “You Only Love Me” and “Praising You” featuring Fatboy Slim, which have accumulated over 80 million global streams to date.

Inspired by Rita’s own experiences, it is an infectious, upbeat floor filler infusing carpe diem spirit with the beginning moments of a relationship.

Yes, that girl is Atasha Muhlach prepared to establish her own identity and exhibit her talents in singing and acting.

There has been ongoing speculation about whether the Muhlach twins would pursue careers akin to their famous parents. However, the time has finally arrived for Atasha to step into the spotlight and forge her own path within the entertainment industry.

That is when Viva entered, to fulfill her long-time dream, and when she thought she was ready, her parent supported her decision, and her dad even gave her “My dad has been nothing but supportive and most caring throughout this whole process, and he’s actually giving me lots of advice [as] to what to expect and, of course, to always be kind

Rita says: “Don’t Think Twice is about not thinking twice and just jumping in, romantically. You only live once, so it’s really about seizing the moment, and not being held back by thoughts of what might or might not happen.”

The accompanying video, directed by Academy Award winner Taika Waititi, was shot in New Zealand. Laced with imagery and symbolism which evoke feelings associated with dreams, nightmares, and the spirit world, it sees Rita channeling Katherine from Wuthering Heights while trapped in a ghostly forest within a dystopian world.

Atasha, along with her twin brother was born into a prominent celebrity family, with her parents being the iconic couple and Charlene Gonzales. With showbiz lineage on both sides, it comes as no surprise that Atasha eventually entered the world of show business after completing her studies in business school at Nottingham, United Kingdom.

During her contract signing with Viva Artists Agency, Atasha disclosed that her aspiration to join the showbiz industry had been a dream since she was a kid.

“This was something that I’ve always wanted to do, ever since I was 10 years old when I did the Sound of Music. That’s when I realized that I really do love to perform. I love to sing,” shared Atasha.

But to fulfill her parents’ wish, the two of them promised to finish their school first before seriously considering a career in showbiz.

“But at first, it clashed with my school. I needed to focus on my studies first. It was a promise to my parents and to myself,” she continued.

“I would guess, he wasn’t as open because I was still in school. That was always a priority. Now that it’s done, [he said], ‘Okay, you’re ready. Go, spread your wings, and fly,” the 22-yearold artist said.

The showbiz industry is not new for the upcoming star.

“Don’t Think Twice” is the third single to be released from Ora’s You & I – her first album release since inking a partnership with BMG, which will see her own all her future master recordings and enjoy artistic control in a way that she hasn’t had previously.

Out on July 14, You & I proves to be Ora’s most diaristic project yet. Working with executive producer Oak Felder (Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Alicia Keys, Usher), Rita has created an album conceptually threaded together to signify the different chapters of her relationships with those she loves.
