Los Angeles, Oct 19 (NationPress) British artist Rita Ora has announced her exciting plans for a new album and tour set for 2026. The 'Anywhere' hitmaker expressed her intention to launch and promote her fourth studio album after dedicating time to various other aspects of her career.
In addition to her music, Rita has been exploring her acting talents, according to ‘Female First UK’.
During a conversation with a Melbourne radio station, she stated, "There’s definitely an album on the way. I’m putting my complete focus on this record and I’m gearing up to tour. It’s been a while since I last toured an album back in 2018. My career has taken me in many directions, from film to television, but now I’m looking inward to refine my approach and lead with purpose.”
Rita also shared her plans to tour both Australia and New Zealand, describing the region as her "second home" since marrying Kiwi filmmaker Taika Waititi in 2022.
"I’m absolutely going to tour Australia first, then New Zealand, and then back again—it feels like my second home," she remarked.
In addition, the 34-year-old singer revealed last month that she is working on a fly-on-the-wall documentary, boasting eight years of footage.
Rita shared with ‘The Sun’, "I’ve been documenting my life for the past eight years, and it’s about time I utilize that footage. There have been moments like dressing rooms flooding, outfits arriving late, and times I've had to go without a make-up artist and hide behind my sunglasses.”
Moreover, she disclosed that her husband directed the music video for her latest single All Natural, finding humor in how he motivated the camera crew to capture raunchy close-ups of her while dancing in her underwear.
