Rosie Lowe announces debut album 'Control' and UK tour

“An intriguing new talent unafraid to manipulate genre barriers… Rosie Lowe’s songs draw on her varied musical background to create moments of unnerving beauty.” – The Guardian
 
“One of the most arresting debuts of the year… what a singer, what a find.”
– The Sunday Times

“These deliciously textured songs have depth, mystery and allure to spare.” - The Daily Mirror
 
“Thick with emotion and heavy with soul, this classy lament makes for a beguiling solo debut.” - NME
 

With a succession of critically adored tracks to her name, the London-based, Devon-born musician Rosie Lowe has emerged as one of the most hotly tipped artists around. Now Lowe is set to captivate her biggest audience to date with the February 19th release of her eagerly anticipated debut album ‘Control’.
 
Released on Paul Epworth’s Wolf Tone label via Polydor, ‘Control’ demonstrates exactly why pioneering artists including Little Simz, The Invisible, Kwabs, Ady Suleiman, Ghostpoet and respected taste-maker Gilles Peterson have all recognized and supported her. It’s an album that breaks loose from the confinement of expected genres - you’ll hear echoes of James Blake, The Weeknd, Laura Mvula and The xx in her original synth-soul soundscapes - and Lowe’s personality is also a pivotal part of the experience.

An emerging feminist icon, ‘Control’ finds Lowe baring her soul as she explores a wealth of personal issues with devastating honesty. 'Who's That Girl' addresses the matter of some so-called friends who didn't help while she was hospitalized, and album track 'Nicole' is a plea for Rosie's best friend to leave a bad relationship.
 
The brutal realities of love and relationships are also a recurring theme. Recent single ‘Worry About Us’ tackles the complexities of trying to retain a relationship by someone who is plagued by insecurity; ‘I’ll Be Gone’ is an emotional plea to partner to remind her not to flee when the inevitably challenging times emerge; and ‘So Human’ underlines an acceptance that negative emotions are a vital part of the human experience. Yet as articulate and opinionated as Lowe is, she possesses a warmth and a sharp-wit that immediately allows strangers to feel like old pals
 
Produced by Lowe with Dave Okumu (Jessie Ware, Paloma Faith, Kwabs, The Invisible). Previous singles ‘Right Thing’, ‘Who’s That Girl?’ and ‘Worry About Us’ all feature alongside a wealth of new material.

 
The album will be further previewed by the new single ‘Woman’ which is defining statement of the powers of modern femininity:

“I find myself obsessing about imperfections that only I can see / And I know it’s such a waste but the pressure is getting to me,” she states, before declaring:“Why should my intellect be judged by perceptions of what I should be?”

 
‘Control’ will be available on digital, CD and 12” formats, with pre-orders now available from www.rosielowe.com, iTunes and Amazon. All pre-orders will be rewarded with ‘Woman, Right Thing, Who’s That Girl & Worry About us’ provided as instant grat tracks.
 
Rosie Lowe grew up in south Devon as the youngest of six siblings. Their father, an accomplished jazz saxophonist, encouraged them to follow creative interests and together they bonded over a shared love of music. For Rosie, a childhood love of jazz set her on a path that would dictate her future. "There's never been anything else that I've wanted to do," she asserts. "Music wasn't an option, it was a necessity."

She soon became enamoured with the leading lights of the female singer-songwriter tradition – Carole King, Erykah Badu and Joni Mitchell to name but a few. She learnt their songs then broke them apart. She analysed their lyrics. She fell in love with the art of songwriting.

It wasn't until she studied popular music at Goldsmiths, however, that she found her own sound. The breakthrough came when she ditched her instruments and focused on teaching herself production and recording techniques. She was soon approached by management and signed to Domino Publishing. London indie label 37 Adventures soon jumped on board too, and released her critically-adored, four-track debut EP 'Right Thing'.
 
Earlier this year, Rosie Lowe played a beguiling set within the beautiful surroundings of the St. Pancras Old Church. London In Stereo described it as “an incredibly atmospheric and enchanting performance…  Lowe stands as a preacher in the centre of the stage, demanding the attention of every eye in the room.” She recently announced her full debut tour, scheduled as below, which will coincide with the release of the ‘Control’ album:

 
February

18th – Glasgow, Broadcast
19th – Manchester, Soup Kitchen
20th – Leeds, Headrow House
24th – Brighton, The Hope and Ruin
25th – London, Oslo
26th – Bristol, Louisiana
