Freya Ridings (album)

Freya Ridings is the debut album by English singer-songwriter Freya Ridings, released on 19 July 2019 through Good Soldier Songs and AWAL.

[1] It includes the singles "Lost Without You", which reached the UK top ten, as well as the lead single "Blackout", "Ultraviolet", "You Mean the World to Me" and "Castles".

It was named one of nine albums to look forward to in 2019 by Smooth Radio.

Ridings stated that because the album was written over "such a long period of time", its "universal theme" is "loneliness", as she was "isolated" growing up and would play music on her school's pianos at lunchtime and "tell the kind of stories you would tell to a friend to the piano".

[3] Freya Ridings debuted on the UK Albums Chart at number three, with sales of 14,779 units.
