New Album Mother Of Pearl
Out Now
New Track ‘Euphoria’ out now
Plays London’s Royal Albert Hall October 5th
Freya Ridings has released her eagerly anticipated third album, Mother of Pearl, on Friday May 29th on BMG. One of the album highlights, the inspirational banger ‘Euphoria’ is out now.
Freya kicks off a massive 27 date UK & European tour September 6th in Belfast, finishing October 21st in Utrecht. She plays London’s Royal Albert Hall October 5th.
Freya describes ‘Euphoria’ as “a fiery Celtic chant/pop song written in a stream of consciousness”. She also plays drums on the track for the first time! “It felt very tribal and powerful” Freya adds.
Opening with ‘Euphoria,’ Mother Of Pearl is 11 tracks of flawless beauty including the previously released fan favourites ‘Wicker Woman’, ‘Wild Horse’, ‘I Have Always Loved You’ and ‘Dancing In The Kitchen’. Garnering support from BBC Radio 1, ‘Wicker Woman’ has been featured by Jack Saunders, and ‘Dancing in the Kitchen’ by both Jack Saunders and BBC Radio 1’s Future Pop.
Reinventing herself, while maintaining the voice that has become so recognisable, there’s a defiance and a fire to Freya Ridings’ new era. It’s a strength borne from her journey, forging a path through a patriarchal industry that all-too-often tried to mould her into what they wanted her to be and not what she was aspiring to.
One of the UK’s finest talents since she broke through with her multi-platinum selling single ‘Lost Without You,’ Freya has had a remarkable career to date. Her self-titled debut album was a BRIT-nominated, Gold-certified triumph, achieving over 1 billion streams and earning 47 Gold and Platinum certifications worldwide. ‘Lost Without You’ also saw Freya become the first female artist to both write and perform a solo Top 10 hit in the UK.
Going into her third album Freya Ridings is not the same artist she was before. She’s had to reach down into the depths and find reserves that she didn’t know she had, and in doing so, she’s tapped into a rich seam of anger and wisdom and womanhood that feels as timely now as it ever was. As she says, “Getting to create, sing and play these songs and have them exist in the real world, that feels like winning to me.”
