Freya Ridings

Everything about her cd is amazing..her voice...her songs...can't go wrong.

She’s a rising star so quickly .. will be following her career

Freya Ridings is an exceptionally talented British singer-songwriter and wonderfully gifted pianist. The combination of mesmerising, deeply meaningful, personal and relatable lyrics, coupled with the haunting undertone of the piano, grabs a hold of you and pulls you in from the very first few seconds of Track 1 and doesn’t release you from its captivating clutches for the next 40 minutes. Indeed, it is not very often that any album has transfixed me from beginning to end, quite the way that this album has. When you consider that this is Ridings’ first studio album, this makes it an even more remarkable achievement.Poison 8/10Lost Without You 10/10Castles 8/10You Mean The World To Me 7/10Love Is Fire 9/10Holy Water 10/10 (Hopefully her next release as a single)Blackout 9/10Ultraviolet 8/10Still Have You 10/10 (The stand-out track on the album and a future No 1 single)Unconditional 8/10Elephant 9/10Wishbone 9/10Buy the album, plug in your headphones, press play and just listen……….If you need any more assurance that this girl has a great future ahead of her, look no further than the live set she played on the John Peel stage at this year’s Glastonbury – she will undoubtedly be headlining the event in the not too distant future. Better still, go and see her live, she is touring the UK right now!

Freya has been described as the latest "Adele".However Adele has no cause for concern.Yes Freya has a very good voice that works well on piano based pieces as well as some pop,but she lacks the clarity and definition in her singing method that makes it a little difficult to make out what she is actually singing.That is something she will hopefully improve on in time because we will certainly hear more from Freya in future because she has a lot more to offer.Regarding her debut album,I rated it as a three because there are five or six very well made songs and the others are very much a repeat or similarity to others which makes it difficult to hold interest with all the way through.Despite that,when the songs are good they are very good quality demonstrating talent and appeal.A good album overall that is well worth a couple of listens.

I preordered this album after hearing Freya on the radio.There is something about holding a CD in your hand and not just relying on listening to the songs you like on the radio or on Prime music.This CD took longer to arrive than originally planned but it was worth the wait.There are many must listen to tracks on this album that you could spend all day playing on repeat.I am sure that there are several tracks on here that will soon become big hits in the charts!

Freya Ridings is one of the best albums this year... it includes multiple of her hit songs yet some new songs appear too.Received within a day with prime.

One of the best albums I have heard in a long time. She has a unique voice. Loved all the songs. Sounds a little like London grammar in one of the songs brilliant.
