Product Information

The lightning-in-a-bottle emergence of Freya Ridings with ‘Lost Without You’ and her self-titled debut album made her one of the surprise international success stories of recent years. The single made Freya the first female artist to have an entirely self-written Top 10 hit since Kate Bush’s original release of ‘Running Up That Hill’ in 1985, and in the process set-up her debut album for immense global success: a #3 UK chart position, a billion+ streams, and a phenomenal 47 Platinum andGold certifications from all around the world.

I love her so much. I'm getting to bring my mum too. I have to choose my outfit next week. No pressure! I think from, like, 24 to 28, there's a huge jump. My first album, that was just such a massive learning curve even learning how to make an album. This time, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and that feels a bit brave. It would have been very easy to just copy and paste [everything that worked before] and do the same things emotionally and lyrically. In March 2020, Ridings toured Australia for the first time, performing shows in Sydney and Melbourne. [6] For Live at Omeara: "Scottish Albums Chart: 31 August 2018 – 6 September 2018".

Freya says, “It’s an album of two halves, 18 months of me being really heartbroken and alone and then 18 months of being the happiest I’ve ever been. So it’s those two halves, the bitter and the sweet, and the transition from one to the other, and allowing yourself to go through that.”

It’s been four years since the release of Freya Ridings' breakthrough, self-titled debut, which yielded the Love Island-boosted megahit ‘Lost Without You’. Freya is performing several dates across the UK and Ireland. You can view a full list of dates below: Martyn Young from Dork called Blood Orange "impressive in its scope and ambition" and noted: "Combining widescreen anthemic string-laden pop with joyous disco-tinged hops and just the right dose of heartbreak, it's a step up from an artist looking to establish themselves as a big deal." [1] Commercial performance [ edit ] And that journey is actually Freya's own. The album tells the store of a painful breakup with an ex-boyfriend and all the heartbreak, insecurities and doubts you feel knowing you might never see the love of your life again. But like all good rom-coms, we have a happy ending; Freya reconnected with her partner, becoming engaged in the pandemic and marrying last year. At the end of Blood Orange, you feel like you know her intimately, having had a first hand experience of everything she's gone through. The ARIA Report: Week Commencing 8 May 2023". The ARIA Report.

Was Freya Ridings on The Voice?

No, we're doing a cheeky cover. It's a beautiful song. We have an orchestra and a choir. I think it's going to be a real moment. I'm a huge proponent of the Prince's Trust and how many young people they help. My mum was in a theatre group when she was younger and the Prince's Trust help fund it, like there are so many elements of my life that have been affected in a positive way by it. I think it's going to be a really, really beautiful moment. And you will of course be on the same bill as the Queen...of Pop, Katy Perry Exactly. You get these pinch me moments, almost like you're in a movie and they're kind of gone. The pandemic really taught me [to appreciate my life more] because I finally got the time to really sit down and think about [everything I'd experienced]. And that was extraordinary! You never know if you're going to get to do this again. With this album, there had to be no regrets. I put everything I've got into it. I really connected to you saying last time that you are so many different versions of yourself throughout your 20s - the album definitely reflects that For "Castles": "Scottish Singles Chart: 16 August 2019 – 22 August 2019".

I think there was definitely a moment. I was watching - and this happened very much after I'd finished the album - the new Lewis Capaldi documentary. Have you seen it? He's such an incredible human being. I have so much respect for him. There were so many similarities in terms of [our journeys] and it didn't make me feel so alone.
