Raleigh Ritchie delivers an eclectically refined jazzy techno-pop bop in 'Say What You Mean' produced and co-written by Chris Loco. The actor and musician's second release of 2021, following 'I Know I'm Not Okay But I Know I Will Be' that came out in June.

Raleigh Ritchie continues his prolific run of music over the last few years, garnering more public attention following his successful long-standing appearances in the record-breaking saga of Game of Thrones, appearing on the Late Late Show With James Corden last year and the release of his second studio album 'Andy'.

“I write songs for myself, to get things off my chest and process my emotions” Raleigh says, “but then I release them and I don’t own them anymore; they belong to other people. I hope there is someone who listens to it and hears themselves... I hope that makes them feel less lonely.”

In true Raleigh Ritchie fashion, 'Say What You Mean' is earworm catchy and a breath of fresh air to the hyper pop and bass-heavy TikTok sounds of today. He is an artist with an old soul and a passion for his craft and is in no doubt going to share more of his authentic work before the end of 2021. You also might see him in the next Dr Who...
