Montana-based singer-songwriter Riddy Arman is set to release her long-awaited debut album, due out September 10 via La Honda Records (Colter Wall, Vincent Neil Emerson) and Thirty Tigers. Today, Arman is sharing a new single from the 9-song set, “Too Late To Write A Love Song,” along with news that she will be joining labelmate Colter Wall for an east coast tour throughout September (full tour dates below).
Arman explains, “I’m not one to dwell on what didn’t happen. Been there and done that. Recording this song I knew I wasn’t alone or sad, and that’s where the choir comes in with triumph. Heartbreak can be freeing. It’s an energy, a power-up.”
The new music arrives on the heels of Arman’s viral Western AF performance of “Spirits, Angels, Or Lies,” a song inspired by the emotional true story of her father’s passing and Johnny Cash’s posthumous visit to his deathbed. Clad with ranch-worn clothing against the bucolic, industrial backdrop of the video, Arman is clearly in her element: living the cowboy lifestyle that many romanticize, but few truly understand.
