Rita Ora, Lewis Hamilton perform 'Easy Like Sunday Morning' during New Year’s holiday (Video)
Rita Ora and Lewis Hamilton seemed to have enjoyed each other’s company during the holidays. The singer shared a video of her and the Formula One racer singing together with several other people while on a New Year’s vacation in Miami.
The “X-Factor UK” judge and Hamilton grabbed the spotlight during a singing session while out at a bar in in Miami. Ora shared a couple of videos of her duet with the racer on her Instagram page.
The first video, which the singer posted on Sunday, shows Ora dressed down in a cowboy hat, a t-shirt and a pair of matching jean shorts and jacket. She is standing beside a grand piano where Hamilton is expertly playing Lionel Richie’s hit classic “Easy Like Sunday Morning.” He is also heard in the background briefly singing with Ora and the crowd of watchers.
Ora captioned the video, “Spontaneous times with @lewishamilton on piano singing a little bit of Lionel.....why not ❤ ️_ #bytheway #werenew #itsourfirstgig.”
The pair decided to go for another round of their performance. This time Hamilton played Aretha Franklin’s “A Natural Woman” while Ora belted out the high notes to the song. She captioned the second video, "Requests anyone. We're here all week! Lol.”
Requests anyone ___ We're here all week! Lol
Hamilton had previously spoken up about his interest to learn piano. Writing on his column for the BBC Sport section in October, the Formula One racer said it has always been his desire to play the musical instrument. However, his line of work requires him to travel the world a lot so he couldn’t find the time to sit down and get a consistent lesson.
But travelling doesn’t hinder him from showing his skills in playing the piano. The 30-year old admitted he likes to play the instrument wherever he goes.
“So everywhere I go, if I can find a piano, even if it is in the lobby of a hotel or something, I go on YouTube and pick some songs to learn. Sometimes I just do it by ear and it is really coming together,” he wrote.
Hamilton added that so far he knows how to play three songs. One is the Lionel Richie song he played with Ora during their Miami vacation. “When I Was Your Man” by Bruno Mars and “Someone Like You” by Adele are the other two songs that Hamilton revealed he’s learned to play on the piano.
