Scott Mildenhall: Rita Ora: the new Alexandra Burke. She probably won’t ever let you down because you’ll never expect too much of her, so when around the second verse you begin to tire of the little guitar loop that hooked you at first, it’s not like you’re really surprised or disappointed. The verses may be indistinct (and Rita’s vocals may suffer from the same problem), but that chorus never lets me down.Ĭédric Le Merrer: Starts off well enough by skirting the line between pleasant-slight spring tune and boring/bland unambitious filler. In just fifteen seconds, Calvin Harris bottles the same bright pop fizz that Betty Who nailed exactly one year ago, concocting a smooth mix of scalar guitars, bouncing breakbeat, and an ebullient “Hee!” hook. Will Adams: That Rita Ora’s persona has been wholly malleable up to this point does not detract from how lovely the chorus is. The decision to center the verses around the bouncy, infectious bassline is a brilliant one, though, providing the sort of counterpoint that makes Ora’s voice sound considerably more interesting than she can manage on her own. If it hadn’t insisted on including sawtooth synth hysteria in the chorus, it might’ve been a good recent song that transcended its women-are-muses content.ĭavid Sheffieck: Some of the production touches are a little heavy-handed - I could do without hearing “Hey!” shouted in the background of a pop song ever again, thank you very much. Imagine “My Life Would Suck Without You” except, y’know, it sucks.Īlfred Soto: The treated guitar hook is the best thing Ora’s been involved with, compensating for her contribution to Iggy Azalea’s dreadful album. “I Will Never Let You Down” is perky, gleaming Eighties pop that lacks a spark of charisma to give it weight. It helps her case - as well as Roc Nation, who must be wanting some US-based results for Ora - because this gives the general public something to focus on other than her music. Who doesn’t want to hang out in the afternoon sun?ĭaniel Montesinos-Donaghy: Rita Ora is probably facing her biggest international buzz at this very moment for faux-sexually harassing a member of the High School Musical cast at an MTV awards show. Sure, it’s a bit of one of those Coke commercials where attractive young people frolic around in the sun, but there’s a reason there keeps being those. The “I will never let you down” refrain confirms the positivity. As a whole song, it keeps up that mood, with candy synths and a well-placed guitar creating an atmosphere of warmth and lighthearted fun.

It’s summer (almost)! The perfect time for some ab unleashing…Ībby Waysdorf: Summer! Within the first few notes I’m already on my bike, cruising along leisurely in the sun instead of fighting the wind and rain.
