Raleigh Ritchie Announces Forthcoming Album & Shares The Visuals For “Aristocrats”

Raleigh Ritchie is back with the highly anticipated news that his second project Andy is on the way this Summer. The introspective and versatile musician has also dropped a brand new single, titled Aristocrats – complete with a self-directed visual. 

Speaking on the single and its accompanying visual, 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.”

The twelve track project, Andy sees Bristol born and London-hailing Raleigh holding a colossal magnifying glass to himself. A nickname given to his grandfather that then, miraculously unrelated, became his own too. Now, Andy is making his foray into the world of music; this time as the name of Raleigh Ritchie’s anticipated second album. “Andy is a little wink to myself” explains Jacob. “It’s saying, this is you speaking right now, this is you saying what you have to say”.
