Ahead of the release of her debut album RESTORATION, alt.pop sensation RØRY has dropped a video for latest single One Drink Away, inn which she reckons with her sobriety and recovery from alcoholism, and how all this progress and newfound success can be completely undone in an instant.

"One Drink Away is one of the rawest songs I’ve ever written," says RØRY. "Sobriety has given me everything – a family, and a career I thought I’d lost – but no matter how well I’m doing, addiction is always lurking, ready to pull me back under. This song is a reminder that even after six years, I’m still just one choice away from losing it all. It’s for anyone who knows that recovery isn’t a finish line; but a constant, daily battle.”

Watch the video below.

Following the release of RESTORATION on January 31, RØRY will head out on her biggest-ever headline tour of the UK in March with As December Falls in support.

"As I turn 40, it feels surreal to be preparing for my biggest UK tour yet," she says. "There was a time I didn’t think I’d make it this far, but here I am, stronger than ever and ready to share RESTORATION with the world. This tour is a message to everyone who feels like they’re ‘too late’ to chase their dreams. I want every fan in the crowd to feel like they’re part of something bigger, like we're all rebuilding and restoring together."
