Raleigh Ritchie releases new song and announces second album

Yesterday (May 6), Raleigh Ritchie premiered 'Aristocrats' with an accompanying video. The R&B artist announced that Andy will be released on June 26th.

The album's title is derived from a nickname that Richie inherited from his grandfather. Similarly, the 'Aristocrats' video looks not just at personal history, but at the history of Britain.

"British history is complicated", Ritchie said in a statement, "especially as a POC".

“[H]istory 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 its atrocities. Sometimes it’s a confusing place, and although I love my country, I don’t always feel loved by it.”

Known for his role as Greyworm on Game of Thrones (which shot predominately in Belfast), Ritchie's debut album You're A Man Now, Boy, was released in 2016.
