GRAMMY Award-winning, platinum-certified, international DJ and producer, Tiësto collaborates with pop powerhouse Jonas Blue and global superstar Rita Ora on the new song “Ritual” available everywhere now through Republic / Casablanca Records.

With an irresistible beat and sultry lyrics, this first-time song collaboration for the three artists is just in time for the U.S. summer!

“Jonas Blue is such a talented artist and we have been looking for some time for the right project to collaborate on. He came to me with this great idea. I am always interested to explore new styles and was instantly excited to work together on this project, which has a new and unique soundscape compared to my other releases. And Rita’s vocals take the track to the next level !” – Tiësto

Tiësto continues to embrace new sounds and collaborations. This spring he released TOGETHER, a collection of dance track collaborations, on his independent label Musical Freedom featuring a variety of up-and-coming dance producers who he has been working with and helping to develop over the past couple of years. 2018 saw his last major release, “Jackie Chan,” with Dzeko, Preme and Post Malone, which has garnered more than 500 million streams and well over 165 million video views.

The summer anthem was number 1 on Billboard’s Dance / Mix Show Airplay chart and was nominated for a Billboard Music Award.

Rita Ora has announced the details of her second studio album, PHOENIXout on 23rd November 2018.

PHOENIX also features brand new single ‘Let You Love Me’ which is available now.

Co-written by Rita herself, new single ‘Let You Love Me’ is a mid-tempo pop-anthem, revealing her insecurities in a new relationship. It is one of Rita’s most intimate tracks to date and one that allows you to hear the strength of her vocal performance as she lets her guard down and shows her vulnerable side to love. With soft vocals against vibrant synths, the track shifts between delicate verses to a dance-driven chorus, perfectly conveying her wish to let herself be loved.

It has been a momentous year and a half for Rita – following a sold out European tour and an

incredible summer playing to millions of fans with over 33 live dates, her latest five hit singles have amassed over 1.3 billion Spotify streams worldwide. Global hit, ‘Your Song’, written by Ed Sheeran and Steve Mac has reached more than 352M streams alone.

Following on from this, she released a global Top 10 hit in August, ‘Lonely Together’, a collaboration with Avicii. Further collaborations with Liam Payne for the Fifty Shades Freed Soundtrack ‘For You’ became her fourth Top 10 hit, as well as her girl-power anthem ‘Girls’, which saw Rita team up with Cardi B, Bebe Rexha & Charli XCX to achieve yet another global success.

These hit songs will all be featured on PHOENIX.

Speaking of her new album PHOENIX, Rita says “I’m so happy to release ‘Phoenix‘. I’m really proud of this album and excited for everyone to hear what I’ve been working on. A huge thank you to everyone that’s been part of my musical journey with me. Thank you for your patience and for listening.”

Rita has sold a staggering seven million singles, had 12 top ten singles (five of which received Platinum status and five of which are gold certified) and a number 1 platinum-selling debut album all under her belt. She has cemented herself as one of the most successful UK pop acts of the last decade. Her return to music last year culminated in 1 billion streams and views worldwide and four globe-spanning smash hit singles.
