Rita Ora has unveiled her new single "All Natural," a sultry electro-pop track produced by Grammy-winning producer Joel Little. The song marks a deeply personal moment in the singer's career, exploring themes of transformation, self-discovery, and empowerment. Ora describes the track as one of the most personal songs she's ever made, focusing on learning to love every aspect of oneself.

The accompanying music video was directed by Ora's husband, Academy Award-winning filmmaker Taika Waititi. Shot in a cavernous, dimly lit studio, the visuals feature Ora dancing beneath overhead lights, moving through water, and interacting with mirrored reflections. The video presents a striking exploration of identity and duality, celebrating the beauty of being unapologetically authentic.

Ora emphasized the collaborative nature of the project, noting that working with Little was "such a gift" due to his ability to transform intimate experiences into universally relatable music. The singer hopes listeners will connect with their own journeys when hearing the song, which she describes as being about "growth, healing, and self-discovery."

The release comes as Ora reflects on her career spanning over a decade, during which she has achieved four UK number-one singles and accumulated over ten billion streams. Her last album, "YOU & I," debuted at number six on the UK Official Albums Chart in 2023, continuing her pattern of commercial success and critical acclaim in the music industry.

King Charles has joined forces with Oscar-winning actress Cate Blanchett in a previously unpublicized podcast recording focused on global conservation efforts. The 22-minute episode, titled "Unearthed: The Need For Seeds," was recorded in the private gardens of Windsor Castle in July and features the monarch alongside Blanchett and Kew seed scientist Dr. Elinor Breman. This marks only the second podcast recording in the King's public life, demonstrating his continued commitment to environmental causes that have defined much of his royal work.

The conversation centered on the Millennium Seed Bank at Wakehurst, West Sussex, which King Charles originally opened in 2000 and has maintained an active interest in since. The facility represents one of the world's most ambitious conservation projects, having collected, cleaned, dried and stored nearly 2.5 billion seeds from more than 40,000 plant species in walk-in freezers maintained at minus 20 degrees Celsius. Both the King and Blanchett, who became Wakehurst's first ambassador last year, emphasized the critical importance of this work in preserving global biodiversity.

During the discussion, Blanchett expressed concern about the rapid loss of natural habitats, noting that "97 percent of wildflower meadows have been decimated" in recent decades. She highlighted the disconnect between perceived natural beauty and actual ecological fragility, stating that "there is an urgency to the work that the seed bank does." The King echoed this sentiment, reflecting on his long-standing awareness of environmental degradation, particularly the damage to flower-rich meadows since the postwar period.

The podcast also touched on broader conservation challenges, including the need for increased funding and public awareness. Blanchett pointed to the frustration of seeing "so many extraordinary initiatives right there ready to be scaled up" but lacking financial support and direction. King Charles acknowledged both the progress made and the need to accelerate conservation efforts, stating that while the seed bank's work is "wonderful," the process must speed up to address escalating environmental threats facing plant species worldwide.
