Background

Following his participation in the Eurovision Song Contest 2022, Ryder started to tease the release date for his debut album. In an interview for NME, he stated that in 2021 he wrote over 100 songs for his album, with many of them not making the final cut.[2] On 16 August, he was announced as one of the artist ambassadors for National Album Day, which in 2022 would celebrate debut albums.[3]

On 5 September 2022, he announced on his social media pages and in an open letter to his fans that his upcoming debut studio album There's Nothing but Space Man! would be released on 18 November 2022. On the same day the track listing was also revealed. In the letter, Ryder wrote:[4]

"This year for myself and the team has been one filled with so many blessings, opportunities and dreams come to fruition. To create a body of work throughout this time representing aspects of our journey feels like the highest honour and a beautiful way to redirect the flow of energy back to the people who are making this whirlwind possible – you. Biggest thank yous, and I hope you enjoy it!".

However, the release date was later delayed to 9 December 2022.^{[citation needed]}

There's Nothing but Space Man! will feature 14 tracks, including "Living Without You" with Sigala and David Guetta as a bonus track. The track listing will include the previously-released singles "Space Man" and "Somebody", and will include "Tiny Riot", "More" and "Whirlwind", which are from his extended play The Sun's Gonna Rise.[4] The album is available to pre-order on Ryder's website in different bundles including vinyl, CD, and cassette.[5]

Promotion

On 26 September 2022, Ryder performed tracks from the album live at Lafayette in London for National Album Day, in partnership with the charity War Child.[6]

Singles

Lead single "Space Man" was co-written by Ryder along with Amy Wadge and Max Wolfgang in London, during the COVID-19 pandemic, before being chosen to represent the United Kingdom at the Eurovision Song Contest 2022.[7] The song peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart following the contest, becoming the highest-charting UK Eurovision entry since Gina G's "Ooh Aah... Just a Little Bit" in 1996.[8] It has been certified silver by the British Phonographic Industry (BPI).

On 19 August 2022, "Somebody" was released as the next single in support of the album, and it peaked at number number 77 in the UK.[9][10] It marked his first release since the Eurovision Song Contest, and Ryder said it was about "the joy of giving love and experiencing love".[11] On 2 September 2022, "Living Without You", a collaboration with Sigala and David Guetta, was released and will be included on the album.[1] It has been described as a house-inspired EDM track and was first teased by the trio during a performance in August, in Ibiza.[12][13]
