22 Year Old Caribbean/British artist Richard Fairlie has gained over 10M streams, 10M TikTok views, support from BBC Radio 1 and numerous ‘One To Watch’ accolades.
Now, fresh from the studio in Sweden after six months of writing and recording inspired by meeting Kid Laroi’s guitarist Omer Fedi at a YoungBlood rooftop after-show party in LA, Richard’s new material is brighter, more up-tempo and has the hard hitting pop energy of iann dior, The Kid Laroi and 24kGoldn.
The first single: BLUE BIRD (ENGLISH) is the first fully authorised English language version of the theme song to the hugely successful anime series, and Fairlie’s favourite show; Naruto Shippuden. It is an emotionally positive, up-tempo, guitar driven track that is already a viral sensation on TikTok with over 10M views. The follow up single: BURN OUT was recorded in Abba’s fabled studio in Stockholm, Sweden and was released on September 16th. It was co-written with (1KEA) the team behind many Iann Dior and 24k Goldn hits. THINK I’M IN LOVE mixed by Richards frequent collaborator Noah Breakfast; credits include (Tory Lanez,Ellie Goulding, Ty Dolla $ign, and Pink $weats) will follow on January 6th ahead of his debut mixtape: HOKAGE. Richard Fairlie has just finished a sold out tour supporting Becky Hill across the UK.
