Rose Gray

[FetchFugly]

New single from Cupid queen Rose, who is generally rather wonderful and worthy of a thread:



This is the first selection from another EP on the way - the previous two were both very good.

 

[Tisch]

I binged her one day and found I preferred her second to her first, but generally it was all really good and fresh sounding. Will be keeping an eye on this.

 

[FetchFugly]

Yes the first EP was a bit rougher round the edges, with some wilder vocals. It felt like she had developed more with Synchronicity.

 

[Funky]

Oh that’s really good.

 

[Jark]

this is fabulous. she's great.

 

[Iguana]

 

[FetchFugly]

A midweek treat:



This really reminds me of something. I want to say Light Years/I Feel Love but not sure that is it.

 

[Funky]

It’s like Moroder and Chicane had a baby.

This girl is on form at the moment

 

[Jark]

spectacular again. where has this woman come from? her higher register has me ascending

I agree it's giving Light Years with a little Impossible Princess energy.

 

[Alex]

Oh this new one is fab. Also a big fan of Cupid

 

[Jark]

Prettier Than You is c-listed at Radio 1... hoping for a slow burn steaming smash

 

[FetchFugly]

The wonderful Rose is back from her hols with Harris Dickinson with a new song next week:

 

[Funky]

That sounds LUSH as an intro, althought it's difficult to tell what direction it will go in once it kicks in

Colour me interested though

Mildly NSFW visualiser:

 

[FetchFugly]

I did wonder if she might be building towards an album but we are getting one more song to round out another EP on 1st February:



At least she is keeping the tracks coming.

 

[FetchFugly]

GLORIOUS

 

[Funky]

oh my

She’s so good. Proof that pure pop stars don’t need to be basic!

 

[Penelope]

She loves a 90s beat, doesn't she?

Was she on the Sound of 2023 longlist? I get that kind of feel from her at the moment

 

[RJN]

oh my

She’s so good. Proof that pure pop stars don’t need to be basic!

I thought Ava Max, Rita Ora, and Zara Larson already proved that?

 

[Jark]

oh my

She’s so good. Proof that pure pop stars don’t need to be basic!

is she pure pop? I'd say she's as much as a dance act as a popstar. most of her songs tread the line, a bit like Purple Disco Machine.

 

[Jark]

anyway this bangs. obviously.

 

[Funky]

is she pure pop? I'd say she's as much as a dance act as a popstar. most of her songs tread the line, a bit like Purple Disco Machine.

Yeah I agree, but her brand seems very pop. I guess I meant you can present yourself as a pop star but still do genre music.

Kylie was a dance act much of her career but still a pop star… and she did it very well.

GLORIOUS

Bit late to this but

 

[Tetris-Rock]

She is playing main stage at Hoopla on the Saturday. I’m DELIGHTED as she doesn’t seem to TOUR much…

 

[FetchFugly]

New single coming next week:



The artwork is all kinds of

 

[FetchFugly]

Deee-Liteful:

 

[Funky]

Well she’s thrown every trope into that but I can’t say I’m mad about it!

 

[Jark]

she simply cannot stop winning. it's very similar to Cupid melodically but that production is earlier 90s and quite delightful.

what does it remind me of specifically? I think Too Blind to See It by Kym Sims (with many other references thrown in)

 

[Jark]

moment of applause for the incredible cover which has to be the best dance artwork since Confidence Man's last album

New collaboration with Kungs out today:

 

[Funky]

Ooh that sounds GOOD

 

[FetchFugly]

Directed by the boyfriend:

 

[KindaCool]

Just discovered her and she goes with literally any playlist. LOVE Happiness.

 

[straightorbroken]

I appreciate the pastiche, but the vocal can't fill the platforms of Lady Miss Kier. Cupid remains my RG go-to.

 

[straightorbroken]

Oh the artwork though. Just seen it. It's giving Dewdrops in the Garden. A serve

New collaboration while we await some album news:
