You play shows, and you start off with like 10 people and then 20 people and then eventually you’re standing in front of like 40,000. It’s just an insane amount of people, and to feel- especially when you play songs they know- that wave of love, it just hits you in the chest, and it’s just out of this world.” She added: “I’ve actually brought my family with me, it’s the first festival they’ve ever come to, and I’m just so excited. a b c Young, Martyn (3 May 2023).

It’s kind of got the ‘I was quite bitter and sad and lonely and now I’m happy’ thing. So it’s the two parts of that, and it’s going to be called Blood Orange.” You Mean the World to Me": "Adult Contemporary: April 6, 2019". Billboard . Retrieved 2 April 2019. And that journey is actually Freya's own. The album tells the store of a painful breakup with an ex-boyfriend and all the heartbreak, insecurities and doubts you feel knowing you might never see the love of your life again. But like all good rom-coms, we have a happy ending; Freya reconnected with her partner, becoming engaged in the pandemic and marrying last year. At the end of Blood Orange, you feel like you know her intimately, having had a first hand experience of everything she's gone through.

Retrieved 5 May 2023. I didn't want to do that. I wanted to say the things I didn't know that I'd be allowed to say, to mention my biggest fears. It definitely helped me grow as a person. There's a lot of therapy, a lot of internal growing done while making ths album. I can't even believe I'm the same person I was when I started making it. What was the impetus for you to go on this journey - like you said, you were quite hesitant at the start I didn't do that [on Freya's debut album]. This time I'm just really trying to enjoy it. We've booked a tour and we're playing Glastonbury, so it does feel like you wait for a bus and then 10 turn up at once. Did you feel like you didn't take everything in on the first album? In January 2023, Ridings released her first single in three years, "Weekends". [7] This was followed by the announcement that her second studio album, Blood Orange, would be released on 5 May 2023; this was subsequently brought forward to 28 April 2023 and would coincide with a number of album release parties at several venues around the UK. [8]It's such an honour. It's so surreal and I feel like it's going to be a very out of body experience. People are very impressed, my old primary school teachers have been coming up [and congratulating me]. It's very...like what the hell is going on? I'm such a huge fan of history. I love The Crown. I love Queen Victoria and all royal history. It's an amazing opportunity. I imagine you won't be singing Weekends or Castles for this one?

Freya says, “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.” It’s been four years since the release of Freya Ridings' breakthrough, self-titled debut, which yielded the Love Island-boosted megahit ‘Lost Without You’.Freya Ridings Releases New Single 'Face in the Crowd' ".

Retrieved 1 September 2018. I think from, like, 24 to 28, there's a huge jump. My first album, that was just such a massive learning curve even learning how to make an album. This time, I wanted to push myself out of my comfort zone and that feels a bit brave. It would have been very easy to just copy and paste [everything that worked before] and do the same things emotionally and lyrically.
