As Raleigh Ritchie gears up towards the release of his highly anticipated debut album later this year, he shares his brand new single \u201cBloodsport\u201d.<\/p>\n

\"RALEIGH<\/a><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

With two strings to his bow, actor and singer Raleigh Richie has a lot to shout about. Otherwise known as Jacob Anderson (and\u00a0Grey Worm from Game of Thrones<\/em>, of course) we asked the man himself to talk us through his\u00a0brand new single \u201cBloodsport\u201d. Here, we chart five Ritchie anecdotes you need to know.<\/p>\n

1<\/strong>. The track was written 3 years ago (there was a dog in the room when we wrote it) and was originally a piano ballad, with quite a different structure, but Raleigh didn\u2019t feel like it was passionate enough.<\/p>\n

2<\/strong>. Contrary to popular belief, this song wasn\u2019t inspired by a Jean Claude Van Damme movie, or Fox Hunting\u2026 it\u2019s actually a comment on relationships, and the need to fight back against the world, as opposed to each other.<\/p>\n

3<\/strong>. The track originally appeared on Raleigh’s Black and Blue<\/em> EP. \u201cBloodsport\u201d 2015 now has added real strings, as opposed to synthetic.<\/p>\n

4<\/strong>. The arrangement was written and performed by the amazing Rosie Danvers & Wired Strings, who has written strings for the likes of Kanye West, and Adele.<\/p>\n

5<\/strong>. There is often a misheard lyric in there, which is actually \u201cI am unmanned\u201d and \u201cwillingly damned\u201d, not \u201cI am a man\u201d and \u201cwillingly down.\u201d<\/p>\n
