Today sees Richard Stirton setting the tone for 2024 with the release of a brand new single – “Cold On Me”. “Cold On Me” is the second single off of Richard’s brand new EP coming in 2024 – his first body of work since March 2019. “Rough Justice”, his first single, was released in October 2023 to critical acclaim and was playlisted on radio stations nationwide.
The chorus of “Cold On Me” was written by Richard a couple of years ago, with the verses and post chorus melody falling into place when he revisited the song in 2023.
With the focus of creating a feel-good, uplifting, and catchy song, Richard once again (as with “Rough Justice”) worked with Jack Bowden of the British Folk band, Tors, as producer. Recorded in Devon, the song’s storyline features a relationship that goes south after the novelty of it all wears off.
Richard Stirton comments on “Cold On Me”
“”Cold On Me” was specifically written for a friend of mine who was misled and taken advantage of in a relationship. It’s about a lover who was excited by the idea of a relationship but who only showed their true colours after all the celebrations of the big day had finished and the ‘honeymoon phase’ had passed. Their love was built on the idea of the relationship rather than what it actually meant.”
As with his previous single, “Cold On Me” features meaningful lyrics, memorable melodies, big vocals, and powerful, uplifting production – all pillars which underpin his upcoming, new EP. With his new body of work, Richard aims to create music that make people reflect on life, themselves and their relationships in order to feel strong and fulfilled.
Richard states his aim with “Cold On Me”
“I hope this song unites a bunch of people who have experienced the same thing with past lovers. It’s a song to sing-along to, scream your lungs out to, and a reminder of your self-worth.”
