Freya Ridings w/ support from Morgan St. Jean

Freya Ridings was the surprise international success story of 2018/19, the North Londoner who caught lightning in a bottle with her song ‘Lost Without You’, then chased her #3, Gold-certified and BRIT-nominated debut album’s subsequent success around the world with over 1 billion streams and 47 Gold and Platinum Global Certificate. Her self-titled debut featured the hits Castles, Lost Without You and You Mean The World To Me. The singles received support form BBC Radio 1, Radio, Capital FM playlists and the last time a female artist hit the Top 10 with a song 100% written by themselves was in 2012 with a re-charting of Kate Bush’s ‘Running Up That Hill. She was the No.1 artist in the UK Independent singles chart in 2018 and her talents have already been recognised by a variety of influential fans, including GQ, Sunday Times, The Times, Daily Telegraph; she was invited to perform in the US on The Late Late Show with James Corden, plus an appearance on Sports Personality of the Year and Stand Up To Cancer.
Freya was further tipped by everyone from Taylor Swift to Florence Welch and Richard Quinn.

Freya Ridings’ first single of 2023, ‘Weekends’, proved to be one of her biggest hits to date as it earned a flurry of airplay (including Tune of the Week at Radio 1 and a playlist at Radio 2) as it was propelled into the Top 40 of the Official Charts. Subsequent tracks ‘Face In The Crowd’, ‘Can I Jump?’ and ‘Perfect’ continued to win new fans and reconnect with existing ones, and her profile was further boosted by playing The Coronation Concert, Glastonbury and her own autumn headline tour which concluded with a 5000-capacity show at London’s Eventim Apollo and full live album YouTube and DSP release, Blood Orange Live at Apollo rounding off 2023.

One listen to Freva’s second album ‘Blood Orange’ reveals just how much Freya is willing to open her heart as she crafted its fourteen songs. It’s effectively an album of two halves: 18 months of Freya’s lost in the depths of heartbreak and loneliness, and then another 18 months in which she emerges happier than ever before. The moods are both bitter and sweet, the songs spanning from reflective and intimate to joyous and inclusive, and the transition that she grows through casts a powerfully uplifting spell upon the listener.

Deemed your new ‘favorite up-and-coming angst-y, feminist, and socially aware pop princess’ Morgan St. Jean is bringing a whole lot of glamor and grit to the pop scene with her unfiltered lyrics, jaw dropping delivery, and unapologetic messages. In 2020 St. Jean’s collaboration with Loud Luxury, Aftertaste, went to #8 on Billboard’s Top 40 in Canada, #10 on Billboard’s Dance Chart Globally, and went Platinum in Canada after generating over 100 million streams worldwide. She then began releasing her solo music and took social media by storm. St. Jean’s first viral single ‘Not All Men,’ helped Morgan garner over 400k Tik Tok followers and over 180k Instagram followers in a matter of months. Inspired by the statistic that 97% of women are sexually assaulted at some point in their life, St. Jean tells her own story in the empowering ballad. As a result of the new genre St. Jean has created, which she calls ‘feminist pop,’ thousands of other women have come forward with their own experiences, and together with St. Jean, have created a powerful community of women online with Morgan’s music as their soundtrack. Since establishing herself as a voice for women everywhere, St. Jean has continued to tackle important subjects through her music, while simultaneously building her community online. Her song, ‘Do It Like A Girl’ became an anthem for women all over the world, and the perfect avenue for them to celebrate their accomplishments. She then released yet another viral hit entitled ‘Energy (Lucky Me), which has been streamed 10s of millions of times and used in hundreds of thousands of videos online. Morgan’s electric live show has resulted in her being asked to support on three different tours within the last year, including a support slot opening for X Ambassadors throughout Europe. She has performed in the Lady Gaga x Global Citizens ‘One World: Together At Home’ Concert, at SXSW, and LA’s Schoonight. Her debut headline show in Los Angeles solidified St. Jean as a once in a generation performer. She has been featured on the cover of Spotify’s Created by Women playlist as well as Spotify editorial playlists like SALT, Femme Fatale, Sad Hour and countless others.
