Rosie Lowe

I wanted this album to sound like a collage”, says Rosie Lowe of her new album Lover, Other, coming August 16^th via Blue Flowers Music. ​“My love of choral music, sample culture, the energy of live music and the intricacy of more produced elements in electronic music. I wanted to incorporate it all into an album, weaving together the different processes in writing that excite me”. It’s a messy mission statement but one born from a decade of experience in the music industry - and a lifetime of obsession before that - and over the fifteen tracks of Lover, Other, that complexity and conflict is reflected - self-doubt pitted against self-assurance, age against youth, life against death - Lowe’s inner dialogue laid bare. It’s a tightrope trapeze-act, a frankenstein vehicle for her art, expertly tied together by Lowe’s flawless vocal layers and effortless delivery. The resulting record is a celebration of all sides of Lowe’s character and musicality, a patchwork tapestry of her experience,

Debuting with her EP Right Thing in 2013, over the last decade the Devon-born, Deptford-based artist has carved out a space as one of British music’s most idiosyncratic artists. Her debut album, 2016’s Control, and 2019’s follow-up YU, released via Paul Epworth’s Wolf Tone label, earned critical acclaim with features in the Guardian and British Vogue as well as support from Radio 1 and 6Music. Her effortless, instantly recognisable vocals also brought attention from her peers, spawning collaborations with artists including Jay Electronica, Little Simz, Machinedrum and Lil Silva amongst others and a sample by hip-hop goliaths Future & Juice Wrld on ​‘No Issue’.
