(November 14, 2024 – Los Angeles, CA) – WaterTower Music is excited to announce the release of The Rider (from "The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim"), performed by the English breakthrough artist Paris Paloma, written and produced by Phoebe Gittins and David Long for the film. The single is available now on digital platforms and follows the long-standing tradition of incredible performers being part of Peter Jackson's “The Lord of the Rings” and “The Hobbit” Trilogies. Previous performers include Enya, Emilíana Torrini, Annie Lennox, Neil Finn, Ed Sheeran, and Billy Boyd.

Producer Philippa Boyens had this to say about the song: “Paris Paloma's incredible performance of ‘The Rider’ follows in the great tradition of powerful, heartfelt songs within ‘The Lord of the Rings’ cinema universe. Her voice perfectly imbues the emotion, courage and indefinable magic that is Middle-earth.”

Paris Paloma, who has been a fan of “The Lord of the Rings” films since an early age, had this to say: “I became completely immersed in Middle-earth, both in the books and the movies, and I have never found a world or a story since that inspires me more than this one that Tolkien built. It is an incredible dream come true to have recorded this song for the 'The Lord of the Rings: The War of the Rohirrim,' telling the story of Héra, daughter of Helm Hammerhand. To be a part of this family and of Middle-earth is something I will cherish forever.”

The full soundtrack featuring the film's score by Stephen Gallagher will be available on December 6th. Lastly, Mutant, in partnership with WaterTower Music, will release the physical version of the soundtrack on 4LP Vinyl, as well as 2x CD.
