New music from Vincent J. Rigney

Hailing from Corby in Northamptonshire, Vincent J. Rigney grew up in a family of entertainers, channeling that heritage into a career as a singer-songwriter, guitarist and producer. With a sound based on blues and alternative rock stylings, his music is a soulful exploration of life from his own perspective, brought to life by a commanding stage presence that’s earned him a devoted and growing fanbase.

Beyond his live performances, his storytelling and musicianship have won over fans and tastemakers alike, confirming his status as a cherished artist across the UK as well as further afield. Vincent made his mark with the debut EP, Songs From The Water Tower, a reflective collection of songs that captured personal journeys from his steel town roots, recorded in Essex with producer Edd Hartwell, who’s previously worked with artists like Robbie Williams, Amy MacDonald and Ed Sheeran.

Last year, Rigney began unveiling singles from his sophomore EP, Steel Town Boy, an ambitious project that ventures further into his life stories. Recorded locally and featuring collaborations with UK and European artists, the EP sees Vincent expanding his creative output while staying true to his blues-infused background.

Now, Vincent brings us the final single from Steel Town Boy with “Ghosting,” a poignant and thought-provoking piece that distils the emotional weight of disconnection. The song recounts the tale of a long-term friendship unraveling into silence, as the absence of communication online leads to uncalled for emotional impact.

Opened by the bright twang of delicate guitar flutters and warm string textures, Vincent’s delicate vocals glide in to spin alluring melodies carrying moving storytelling lyricism into the graceful rootsy blues fabric. Flowing with blissful melodic writing and backed by intricate instrumentation, his vocals shine in the mellow setting as he casts an emotive listening experience.

With elegant lead guitar flickers adding dashes of playfully tumbling notes, he captures a classic singer-songwriter sound that’s utterly charming and truly timeless. Once again proving his enduring songwriting flair and performance panache, with “Ghosting,” Vincent J. Rigney delivers another stunning slice of his delightful musical vision and we can’t wait to see what he’s got in store for the rest of 2025 and beyond.
