Rita Ora's new EP cover criticised over similarities to Rina Sawayama's work

Bang was written and produced over Zoom, and will see Rita Ora and Imanbek collaborate with Gunna, David Guetta and Khea across the five tracks.

Despite only announcing the EP earlier today (4 February), Rita Ora's choice of artwork for the EP has already been criticised, with many people spotting similarities with Rina Sawayama's artwork for "Lucid", "XS" and "STFU!".
