The clip for Ridgeway’s “Sprinter” went live on Under the Radar this week. “Sprinter” displays a louder, more rock side of Ridgeway’s songwriting while lyrically meditating on Ridgeway’s coping with the sudden loss of a friend.
“I lost a friend to her battle with mental health a couple of years ago. It completely shocked me and everyone else around her,” said Ridgeway in a press statement. “Mental health so often gets treated like a nuisance, something that should be ignored, hidden, or not taken too seriously. Most anyone who’s lost someone to it will tell you they never saw it coming. I didn’t know what else to do other than write about it.”
Ridgeway will release Sprinter, the album, on March 28 through CEN/The Orchard. The album features collabs with members of Japanese Breakfast, WHY? and Ween.
