Rianne Downey - The Consequence Of Love (2025) [Official Digital Download]

Rianne Downey releases her eagerly anticipated debut album "The Consequence of Love".

Rianne Downey spent much of last year touring with Paul Heaton while also establishing her own fanbase with a series of solo shows. Both live and on record, her voice is a thing of beauty. And her songs are the perfect vehicle for it.

“From busking on the streets of Glasgow to releasing this record, it almost feels like my whole life has led to this moment,” she says. “The title, ‘The Consequence of Love’, came from one of the last songs I wrote but it captures the heart of the whole album. Each song is the product of the consequence of love.”

"The Consequence of Love" features 10 original tracks written by Downey, with several co-written alongside longtime collaborator Nathaniel Laurence. The album was recorded at Bear Creek Studio in Seattle and produced by Grammy Award-winning producer Ryan Hadlock, known for his work with artists including Zach Bryan and Brandi Carlile.

"The Consequence of Love" was one of the last songs Rianne wrote for the album after watching her gran slowly lose the battle with dementia. “It’s a reflection on the fragile nature of life and love,” she says “I think naturally as people, we often hold onto a childlike belief that the ones we love will always be there, and it’s a painful realisation when life reminds us otherwise.”

"'They say God loves a trier', sings Downey on album closer Heart of Mine, 'Lord knows I’m trying hard'. In reality, this is a debut which sounds effortless, and marks the arrival of a new Scottish superstar. They used to say that Americana was just a posh way of saying you liked country music. Downey has captured something that you’d perhaps have to call 'Caledoniana' – Scottish country with a pure heart." (Andrew Williams, theskinny.co.uk)
