Every now and then, you meet someone who not only makes you realize your full potential, but also frees you, making you want to change for the better. The ways you were previously confined to, and limited by become a thing of the past, thanks to the breath of fresh air you encountered. When he’s not being a star of Game of Thrones, singer Raleigh Ritchie is capturing this sentiment, exactly.

Following up his previous single, “Keep It Simple” Raleigh shares his latest video for “Never Better”. The Casper Kelly-directed clip sees Raleigh in a metaphorical jail cell, until the object of his affection gives him the courage and willpower to break free.

Raleigh Ritchie’s debut album, You’re A Man Now, Boy is due out February 26th.

I first caught wind of this song a few months ago, when I saw Raleigh Ritchie perform it at Paris’ Be Street Weeknd. I wasn’t there, but I watched it on YouTube and was like “Yo! This song is amazing! We need a CDQ version ASAP!”Well look what we have here…

Linking up with Stormzy, Raleigh Ritchie drops the full version of “Keep It Simple”, a song that serves as yet another preview to his upcoming debut album, You’re A Man Now, Boy, which is due out on February 26th.

Listen to Raleigh croon about the high he’s on, thanks to a current love interest, but also how intimidated and nervous she makes him feel. It’s a relatable, upbeat joint about having a crush and trying to figure out the best way to go about it. We’ve all been there. But it’s 2016. #ShootYourShot!
