FREYA
folktronica singer-songwriter
Of Water
Freya's Debut Folktronica Record of 7 songs and 27 minutes
Released 10 July 2025
freya’s folktronica songs are confessional outpourings of yearning and desperation: exploring the most vulnerable sides of love, loss, and identity through dreamy soundscapes, poetic lyrics, and moving vocals.
Of Water, freya’s debut studio album, reflects a continued raw and unfiltered confrontation of the most painful, transformative, and familiar terrain within her inner landscape. With introspective metaphorical lyrics that sting with searing emotional clarity, Of Water weaves intimate confessions with symbolic imagery of ghostly landscapes and bodies of water - symbols of emotions and isolating obstacles - to create a sonic journey that is at once haunting and healing.
"A patient, finely drawn debut"
"Freya’s commitment to tone and emotional subtlety is striking, blending direct confession with lyrical abstraction. Her writing is careful and poetic, sometimes elusive, but always emotionally honest."
(Review by John Bradbury, 13th Floor)
"Masterfully intoxicating"​
"Spirit-led"
"Lends the listener the delicious sensation of experiencing something that would normally be kept private"
Sensual, shimmering, searching; mournful, melancholy, and resigned… yet ultimately hopeful"
(Review by Bee Trudgeon, Music NZ)
