Freya Ridings - Mother Of Pearl (2026) Mp3 / Flac / Hi-Res

After teasing the record with the evocative ‘Wild Horse’ earlier this year and 2025’s cutting single ‘Wicker Woman,’ one of the UK’s most impressive vocal talents Freya Ridings has announced the release of her stunning new album Mother Of Pearl, which will come May 29th on BMG. Alongside the announcement comes new single ‘I Have Always Loved You’.

Leaving her hometown of London, Ridings headed to LA for a year to try and reignite her creative light. She surrounded herself with people who truly loved their craft, going into sessions with the likes of Jenn Decilvio (Miley Cyrus, Hozier), Fraser T Smith (Adele, Dave), Adam Yaron (Alex Warren), Toby Gad (John Legend, Beyoncé), Sam de Jong (Gracie Abrams): writers and producers that wanted to hear what she had to say and to elevate it.

“You could feel the electricity and the positivity that they have, and that really recharged me,” she says. “Even just being around them was a joy.” Slowly, the backbone of her new music began to make itself clear: a third act that was not just about reclaiming her own narrative, but celebrating the act of reclamation and return in itself.

“My first album had a colour palette of red and black, for fire and pain. The second album was orange and green - earthy and organic. But this new music evokes water, the big blue sea, with all the depth and ancient power of an ocean: it's grief and it's ancestry, the known and the unknown,” Freya says of the album. “There's a lot of rebellion and female rage that I wasn't able to express before. I'm rebuilding myself to who I actually know I am instead of what people tried to force me to be.”
