London alt-singer/songwriter Freya Ridings is wise beyond her years, with a voice as warm and weathered as early Nina Simone and the primal, howling emotionality of Adele, minus the melodrama.
There’s something uncanny about Ridings’ piano pop. With a voice suitable for a woman twice her age, and rocking a timeless style, it’s just as easy to imagine Ridings playing piano in some candle-lit cabaret in the ‘40s as on the radio in 2017, singing her songs of heartbreak and yearning.
