Rita Ora has announced her second studio album, Phoenix.

The Girls singer shared details of the project that is set to be released on November 23.

Speaking about her latest music, Ora explained: “One of the most liberating feelings for me is performing and creating music. This album is a true labour of love, and it was important for me to do it my way.

“I’m so appreciative of the love and support from those who worked with me on the record and allowed me create something I’m really proud of.

“They gave me the space and freedom to create something from my heart. Both challenging and euphoric at times.

“I am really proud of and grateful for the journey that the making of Phoenix has taken me on. To my fans, thank you for your patience and thank you always for listening.”

The album is set to feature hit Your Song, written by Ed Sheeran, a collaboration with Avicii on Lonely Together and single Anywhere that has already landed number two on the UK charts.

Ahead of the release of Phoenix, Ora announced that her brand new single Let You Love Me, which she has co-written, will come out on September 21.

She teases the track as a mid-tempo pop anthem that reveals her insecurities about a new relationship, delving between soft vocals and a dance-based track.

The work will be Ora’s first full-length album since her self-titled 2012 release.

The news comes after the singer announced that she has joined Kate Moss’ talent agency.

She unveiled her new representation with an Instagram snap, in which she posed alongside Moss. Ora opted for a white striped dress, while the supermodel donned a paisley blouse and black jeans, paired with chunky jewellery.

She captioned the image: “Dream Team. Excited to announce that I am now at @KateMossAgency.”
