New Music From Rianne Downey
Rianne Downey releases the intoxicating ‘Lost In Blue’ via Run On Records – November 22nd, the first taste from her eagerly anticipated debut album. Listen HERE & watch HERE.
A country tinged, dreamy but upbeat charmer, Rianne calls the song ‘a sad girl anthem’ and who doesn’t love those!
“I was claiming my identity back after losing it to this toxic situationship,” she says.
It’s been quite the year for the Scottish singer-songwriter currently on tour with Paul Heaton. Having joined Heaton’s band last summer, she’s been a mainstay ever since.
One of the undoubted highlights for Rianne this year was their sensational Glastonbury Pyramid Stage set. Since then she’s been working on her debut album at Bear Creek Studio in Seattle with Ryan Hadlock (The Lumineers, Zach Bryan, Vance Joy).
Rianne Downey kick started her career busking the streets of Glasgow, before lockdown covers led to signing to Modern Sky/Run On, with Rianne then moving to Liverpool in 2022 to step things up.
Her first studio exploits were with The Coral’s James Skelly, who produced Fuel to The Flame EP, followed by the release of a series of impressive singles and Eps throughout 2022 and 2023 and honed her live performances supporting The Coral, Paolo Nutini, Tom Jones & Deacon Blue.
Later this month Rianne embarks on a nationwide UK tour with Paul Heaton.
Last month she appeared on the top 5 Paul Heaton album The Mighty Several. Next summer Rianne joins Paul for his massive sold out show at Bramall Lane, home to Sheffield United.
Clearly Rianne Downey is a star very much in the ascendency. Catch the glow now.
