Donate to support families affected by the crisis in Ukraine ➔ Freya Ridings Announces New Album “Blood Orange”, Shares New Song “Weekends”
London-based singer-songwriter Freya Ridings announced her sophomore album “Blood Orange” would be released on May 5, 2023.
It is her first album in four years since the 2019 debut album “Freya Ridings”.
The album comprises 14-track, produced by Steve Mac.
Freya Ridings said of the album, “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.”
From the album, she released the first single called “Weekends” along with a music video on January 12, 2023.
The track was written by Freya Ridings, and Steve Mac, who also produced it. The accompanying video was directed by Joe Connor.
She said of the song, “There was a breakup when I got given my first platinum disc for 'Lost Without You'. I had no one to call and I was sat alone in a bar in King's Cross. I'd chosen to put the energy into my career, and you miss so many birthdays, people just stop inviting you because they don't think you're around. It looks as though I had thousands of people around me, but actually I was the most alone I've ever been. So that song felt like me being scarily honest with myself, which was hard.”- source : Apple Music
