Frida Touray is an undiscovered gem – an artist who, with the release of her debut EP ‘Mending’, will capture the hearts and minds of audiences who love music that melts in your mind, that provokes emotions you weren’t even aware of and of music that creatively captivates in every nerve on your body. She is without doubt an artist of the future that will command your attention.Right from the first click of the retro-sounding tape machine on the Out the Sun, you know the direction Frida wants to take you in. It’s authentic and honest and she wants to make her story immediately clear right from the beginning; “I think it’s about a girl who breaks her own heart”. ‘Mending’ is deeply personal release that shows herself at her most vulnerable, capturing the essence of who she is and how she sees the world.

For Frida, this new music represents a new start with a new focus on her music, determined to show who she is. And it doesn’t take much convincing: the music’s emotive brilliance is immediately engaging and absorbing. It’s an EP about honouring relationships that didn’t turn out the way they had intended, about breaking free and being your own person. Each song acts as a snippet of life as she aims to create timeless music, not influenced by what’s cool or trending. These are heartfelt, emotional songs of love and life that come straight from her own lived experiences.

“Mending is about a journey through love and relationships. How you evolve through them and how sometimes, painful and intense they can feel when everything feels unaligned. How messy and beautiful they can be. For me, it was a creative choice to be as honest and vulnerable I could be, without thinking about it having to be edgy or cool sounding. I really wanted softness in this music, and I wanted that softness to represent healing in the subject matters and stories that I’m telling. Each song is an honouring of the relationships I have formed over the years, regardless of their journey, how they began or ended and the title track ‘Mending’ is one I wrote as a reminder to myself of my own healing, my route to forgiving myself for any mistakes I made when I felt lost and out of my power. To take accountability but freeing yourself in the process.” – Frida Touray
