Rihanna - Pour It Up (Remix ft. Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Juicy J & T.I.)
Rita Ora - Around the Way Girl
The ’90s had that bounce that I miss, and I want to bring it back,” says pop star Rita Ora, sipping a Bloody Mary in a booth at New York’s Soho House. The 21-year-old, who started performing at the tender age of 14, delivers this statement without a trace of irony, though she would have been barely learning to walk, never mind dance, during hip-hop’s most expansive period. But to take one look at her—with the signature bleach blonde ringlets, laid-back attitude, and Salt-N-Pepa-inspired attire (knock-around hoops, gold jewelry, Billionaire Boys Club tee, and floral mini-shorts)—it is clear that although she’s young, she’s sampled the vibe perfectly. “I love TLC and how comfortable they looked,” she says. “And we have so many ethnicities [in London], it all jumbles up and it’s really cool and beautiful.”
