Rita Ora Shines In Colorfully Choreographed Video For Tiësto And Jonas Blue Collab 'Ritual'

At the end of May, Tiësto, Jonas Blue, and Rita Ora came with each other for a glassy segment of EDM-pop called "Ritual" that blends the legendary Dutch DJ's expensive club sound with Blue's pop instincts and Ora's smoky vocalizations.


Right now, the trio have released a decorative new video for the song that finds Ora at the center of a denim dance number like a vintage Gap commercial. There's quite a light show going on beyond her and her choreographed squad as well that it's almost hypnotizing.


As the visual expands across three minutes, subtle questions of power dynamics are raised. Some days, Ora is leading the pack here however they're all moving in synchronicity along the floor. Other times, they're all contracting and swirling like a school of fish up on a riser, with Ora high above the rest. It's a trip.


"We had such a blast putting with each other this segment of art for you and I hope you love it as much as I do," Ora wrote on Instagram about the clip, which also showed today on mtvU and MTV Live.


Watch the new "Ritual" video above, then head over to YouTube to read the lyrics under the video, which are arranged in such a way that I'm reminded of the work of the very minimal, meditative 20th century poet Robert Lax. Also a trip.
