Posted by Raleigh Ritchie will release new project ‘Andy’ later this year.
It’s now four years since the songwriter released his debut album ‘You’re A Man Now, Boy’, a period in which he has reflected on identity, and how best to express this.
An acclaimed actor – his roles include Game Of Thrones – Raleigh returns to music for new project ‘Andy’.
Due out this summer, it’s led by ‘Aristocrats’, a song that seems to pick up on fixations with national identity, the imperial legacy, and the manner in which this impacts on POC in the UK today.
Raleigh states:
“British history is complicated, especially as a POC. And history is everything, it’s what we learn from to help us build our future. In school I didn’t learn much about British history aside from the country’s victories and a version of some of it’s atrocities.”
“Sometimes it’s a confusing place, and although I love my country, I don’t always feel loved by it. With this video I wanted to explore this and my relationship to my own history and the history of those who came before me.”
