Raleigh Ritchie, the neo-R&B crooner with an experimental streak, has just unveiled a new cut from his forthcoming EP Cuckoo.
"You Make It Worse" is a dreamy, pulsing electro-pop track with plenty of Ritchie's yearning vocals and ambition. It's a new tact for the London-based singer-songwriter, whose ballads and slower jams had tended to prevail over more energetic noises.
