Freya Ridings

After the announcement of her new album "Mother Of Pearl" (release date: May 29, 2026), Freya Ridings has now added more good news: a major UK and EU tour, including a stop in Vienna. Since her impressive breakthrough with the Top 10 single "Lost Without You" in 2017, Freya Ridings has established herself as one of the most distinctive and sought-after voices in the UK – celebrated for her extraordinary vocal intensity and her rare ability to switch between fragile intimacy and anthemic grandeur. The emotional ballad became an international success and, with almost half a billion streams on Spotify alone, is one of the most listened-to songs in its genre.

But Ridings has also set standards with her albums: both her self-titled debut album from 2019 and the acclaimed follow-up "Blood Orange" (2023) debuted directly in the Top 10 of the UK album charts, solidifying her reputation as one of the most exciting singer-songwriters of her generation. Sold-out tours around the globe, enthusiastic reviews, and a prestigious BRIT nomination for "Best Female Solo Artist" underscore her international success and her steadily growing fanbase.

With her third album – planned for May 2026 – Freya Ridings is now opening a new, even more personal chapter. It is the work of an artist who has reinvented herself: uncompromisingly honest, emotionally profound, and artistically mature. She has ventured into uncharted depths, unlocking creative resources that make her music even more diverse and powerful. The result is an intense, multifaceted soundscape that connects themes of strength, vulnerability, and self-determination with urgent relevance. "Getting to create, sing and play these songs and have them exist in the real world, that feels like winning to me," she comments on the new material, which she will soon present live in Vienna!
