Alessi Rose has announced details of her debut Polydor Records EP ‘Voyeur’, alongside new single ‘That Could Be Me’.
The eight-track EP, set for release on 25th July, follows her recent single ‘Same Mouth’ and features production from Josh Scarbrow, Benjy Gibson, and Oli Fox, alongside Sam De Jong, John Hill, and Sammy Witte.
‘That Could Be Me’, produced by Scarbrow, Gibson, and Fox, combines alt-rock guitar riffs with live drums and explores themes of unrequited longing. “It’s about desire, particularly when that person is in love with someone else, and the tension you feel between wanting them and knowing that morally you can’t do anything about it,” Rose explains. “It’s the most frustrating kind of yearning, where it’s angry and out of your control.”
Speaking about the EP, Rose says: “In my EP ‘Voyeur’, the voyeurism is twofold. The audience becomes a voyeur of my innermost thoughts and feelings through the music, but additionally I am a voyeur of myself and my own, sometimes self-sabotaging, decisions. I wanted this EP to feel like the unfiltered version of events that you tell your closest friends and I feel like the bluntness and stream of consciousness lyrics reflect that. I don’t care how I’m perceived because I trust the listener.”
The Derby-born artist is currently supporting Dua Lipa on the European and UK leg of her Radical Optimism tour, with plans to join Tate McRae on her North American Miss Possessive tour this August.
The tracklist for ‘Voyeur’ reads:
SIDE A: 1. ‘Same Mouth’ 2. ‘Take It or Leave It’ 3. ‘Everything Anything’ 4. ‘Stella’
SIDE B: 5. ‘That Could Be Me’ 6. ‘RIP’ 7. ‘Bittersweet’ 8. ‘Dumb Girl’
