Rita Ora’s ORA debut about was never released in the US and now we know the reason. The singer sat down with  MTV News to talk about the record, which was delayed because she is eager to issue a completely different version in that territory.

ORA was previously released in the UK in August 2012. To make sure that US audiences aren’t serviced with late material, Ora has completely revamped the LP.

“2013 is really important for me because it’s gonna be the first time the US hears my official album and I wanted to put a few extra tracks on there and make it really special,” Ora shared with MTV News. “So, I’m basically giving you guys a whole new album of new material. To the world it’ll be like a second album, but to you guys it’ll be like a first album,” she said.
