Rose Gray is set to release her debut album ‘Louder, Please’ on 17th January via Play It Again Sam. The London-based artist has also shared a new single ‘Switch’ from the forthcoming record.
The album follows her ‘Dancing Drinking Talking’ mixtape and ‘Higher Than The Sun’ and ‘Synchronicity’ EPs. ‘Louder, Please’ features collaborations with a range of producers and writers, including Justin Tranter, Zhone, Sega Bodega, Uffie, and Alex Metric.
Gray comments on the new single ‘Switch’: ‘Switching things up is hot and we don’t talk about it enough. Why must we be defined as one role in a relationship or personality type?’
Discussing the album, Gray says: ‘I’ve always been obsessed with LOUD music, from late night car journeys with my Popps as a kid to spending my teens glued to the speakers of clubs. The album title was born on the mic, a running joke where I was always asking for things to be louder (please). I’ve spent ten years writing for myself and others, exploring different cities and their parties – but I’ve always known that I was working towards a body of work that brought all that together, and represented all sides of me. There’s definitely something in my personality which loves the adventure, and is always searching for more: I’ve also had my heart broken, fallen back in love, and become a woman in the process. To me, Louder, Please captures the rave, the ethereal, my friends and our stories: it’s classic pop with its roots firmly in the underground. On a beach or in a club, I want these songs to find their homes in someone else’s life. So enjoy – but make sure you play it LOUD, please?’
