It is always enjoyable to watch a music video with a storyline and Rita Ora serves it up real good in her latest.
'Poison' the song may not be our favourite from Rita, but the video has to be one of her best works ever. Brimming with both glamour and drama, the video is worth of being extended to become a movie – oh wait someone already did that. Playing a supermodel/fashion muse, the trendsetting songstress takes this chance to appear in more than 5 different sets of outfits and our favourite has to be the 70s long-hair-don't-care look she sports in her celebration party where everything unravels... Now let's get to the drama.
The video starts with an urban and edgy Rita sitting on a set of staircase with her lusciously-lipped boyfriend and her squad and when she gets invited to a shoot by a photog. Before long her natural talent and looks propel her to stardom, the fame corrupting her along the way and making her lose touch with her delectable man, who comes to claim his woman at her soiree. The confrontation that occurs sees the famed photographer giving money to Rita's ex-man and his departure makes her recall her carefree past. However, by the time the distraught diva runs to her man, she sees that he has already caught the fame bug too, finding him half naked with the suave shutterbug who started it all.
What a story eh? Keep em coming Rita!
Rating: 4.5 out of 5 stars.
