Freya Ridings chooses her favourite records with music from Florence & The Machine and James Taylor. There's the daily love song plus another round of PopMaster.

Freya Ridings, English singer songwriter, chooses the Tracks of My Years with music from Florence & The Machine and James Taylor. She is best known for her 2017 single "Lost Without You", which peaked at number nine on the UK Singles Chart. She performed the song live on the 成人快手 Sports Personality of the Year Awards show in 2018 and also on The Greatest Dancer in 2019. Freya released her self-titled debut album this July and announced she is the second artist to be selected for the UK's Youtube Music's Artist on The Rise programme. While "Lost Without You" established Freya's rising star status, it was the strength of her live shows that first earned her a word of mouth fanbase - as captured in her early live recordings Live At Omeara and Live At St. Pancras Old Church. Every tour has seen Freya rise to play bigger venues, most recently with a sold out London show at The Roundhouse. Last month she also announced details of her biggest UK tour to date. It will see her play to a combined audience of over 23,000 people, including over 5000 in London when she takes to the stage at the Eventim Apollo in November.

Gary also has the daily love song, record and album of the week plus PopMaster. If you'd like to get in touch with the show email Gary.Davies@bbc.co.uk
