Rita Ora says Kylie Minogue feels like a sister as she promotes All Natural on BBC Radio 2

Rita Ora arrived at the BBC Radio 2 studio on Wednesday wearing a white belted trench coat to promote her new single, All Natural. The 34-year-old singer described Kylie Minogue as feeling like a sister now, noting that the two artists share the same label and team and that Minogue has been supportive, checking in the day before Ora’s appearance.

On Scott Mills’s show, Ora explained that All Natural is among her most personal tracks, a departure from her earlier upbeat pop. She said she wanted to be uncomfortable to connect with listeners and described the song as a blend of sensuality and self-reflection. The star emphasized that while the surface of the track may sound seductive, its deeper message centers on understanding her own power, and she said she is choosing to do less and feel good in both body and mind.

Earlier in the week, Ora released the video for All Natural, directed by her husband Taika Waititi. The visuals feature Ora in a white vest and matching underwear, delivering a sultry performance on a chair before launching into a dance routine. The clip shows her in a striking, sleek look with platinum blonde hair and bold styling choices such as red heels, sunglasses, and tan leg warmers in some frames, underscoring a high-fashion approach to the song’s presentation.

All Natural marks Ora’s second single of the year, following Heat in June. Heat earned placement on Apple Music’s New Music Daily and Spotify’s major playlists and began strong in several markets, including the United Kingdom, Germany, and Australia. Ora teased the All Natural video on Instagram earlier in the week, sharing a preview and encouraging fans to pre-save the track.

The interview and music video rollout come as Ora continues to balance her personal artistry with public collaborations. She has spoken about her close working relationship with Minogue, who has offered support as Ora forges a more introspective path in her music. The Radio 2 appearance serves to highlight a pivotal moment in Ora’s career, as she leans into a more reflective sound and a streamlined aesthetic in both her performances and visuals. The promotion underscores the cultural moment around artists who fuse fashion-forward looks with vulnerable, downtime-focused messages from a musician who has long drawn attention for bold style and pop versatility.
