Track Of The Day 5/5 – Freya Ridings

'Blackout'

Freya Ridings has a deft, delicate, devastating touch.

The songwriter is still young – 22 years old, no less – and operates with just her and her piano.

Yet she's capable of conjuring entire worlds, with each song coming from a very real place in her life.

Out now, new single 'Blackout' is all subtly and shade, with Rich Costey's production allowing her wonderful vocal to shine through.

Clash has obtained a live clip, shot at Hackney's wonderful Round Chapel venue – a simple yet enormously affecting performance, you can check it out below.

Catch Freya Ridings at St Pancras Old Church, London on May 10th.
