Stripped back to its emotional core, Dancing In The Kitchen pairs delicate ukulele with Ridings’ unmistakably powerful vocal delivery. The result is a deeply intimate and reflective track that celebrates vulnerability, encouraging listeners to embrace quiet, personal moments away from the outside world. Already a fan favourite following teaser clips and recent live performances, the song has quickly become a standout in her evolving catalogue.

Speaking about the track, Ridings describes it as her “rawest, most honest” work to date, highlighting the universal experience of private emotional worlds that often remain unseen. That sense of intimacy is carried into the accompanying video, directed by Nic Minns and filmed in a single take at Asylum Chapel, adding a haunting visual dimension to the song’s delicate intensity.

The single continues to build anticipation for Mother Of Pearl, a record that signals a bold new chapter for Ridings. Blending her signature emotive songwriting with a renewed sense of strength and defiance, the album reflects both personal growth and resilience, marking a significant evolution from her earlier work.

Alongside the release, Ridings has confirmed an extensive UK and European headline tour for autumn 2026. The run will include a landmark performance at Royal Albert Hall, underscoring her continued rise as one of the UK’s most compelling live performers.
