"I wanted this album to sound like a collage," says Rosie Lowe about her new album Lover, Other. She aimed to blend her love of choral music, sample culture, live music energy, and intricate electronic production.
“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.
The forthcoming album serves as her first solo endeavour since 2021's Now, You Know, a collection of self-produced demos, and her collaborative album, Son, with long-time friend Duval Timothy, and follows her 2016, debut album, Control, and 2019’s YU.
Rosie Lowe will perform the record at London’s Institute of Contemporary Arts (ICA) on 26 September.
