Lucy Rose will return with a new album and tour dates in the spring.
The UK singer-songwriter's fourth LP, 'No Words Left', is due out on March 22. It follows on from her 2012 debut, 'Like I Used To', 2015’s 'Work It Out', and most recently 2017’s 'Something's Changing'.
Recorded in Brighton, production duties were handled by Tim Bidwell while Cenzo Townsend tackled mixing. Head below to view the video accompanying the album's opener and lead single, Conversation, alongside the record's cover art and tracklist.
Rose will support the record with a headline tour in April, including stops in Bristol, Cardiff, Manchester, Dublin, Leeds, Glasgow and London, where she'll play Union Chapel. Following this she will head to Europe in May. Tickets are on sale now.
Discussing the new album, she said:
"Releasing this record feels entirely different to every other record I’ve released. But to try and sum up my emotions is virtually impossible.
I don’t believe this the best album I’ve ever made because I don’t believe in making comparisons when it comes to music. But it’s different.
In every way I’ve approached writing, recording and now releasing music, it’s been different. I’ve lost all consciousness in caring and it’s been liberating. It is what it is. It’s a feeling, it’s a song, it’s a sound, it’s a part of me which I can’t decipher whether it’s good or bad, but it’s sincere. I recently learnt that the word sincere is derived from the Latin sine = without, cera = wax due to dishonest sculptors in Rome or Greece covering flaws in their work with wax to deceive the viewer. So, a sculpture "without wax" would mean honesty in its perfection.
That really struck a chord with me as sincerity really is the key to this record. It’s my truth. Sincerity is the truth of a person, not just the good but the bad: the flaws, the realness, which can never be ‘perfect’. This album reflects the reality of my life, the toughness life throws at you, and for a period of time it did become too much for me to handle alone.
I could try to explain more about each song but in all honesty, I can’t particularly remember writing them, the feeling being too strong and too big for me to comprehend. But songs came out and through writing them and working through my thoughts I saw the truth lying in front of me and a way to move forward.
I always hope my music would be a comfort to someone, however this record may not be the easiest listen. But it’s in its discomfort I believe a different form of comfort can be found. I’m certain of it."
