Â According to a press release, “Her first in-store at Rough Trade East in November was so over-subscribed that 50 latecomers were stuck outside.”
The Sunday Times, NME, Daily Mirror, and Music Week have all featured Rose. Her singles include “Middle of the Bed”, “Scar”, and “Red Face”.
From the press release: “Lucy’s journey began, when she hopped on a train to London leaving behind the house in which she grew up in rural Warwickshire and struck out for the big city and the big time. Armed with an acoustic guitar and an unstoppable dedication, Lucy played every open-mic night imaginable, she met people on the way who are still with her now and with their support and her graft she learned the ropes. As her songs and sentiments spread their warmth through the iciest of hearts, Lucy became that most modern of phenomenon; she went ‘viral’. Her biggest videos have clocked up over 800,000 views and on average, her sessions and videos are receiving 250,000 views each.
Video – Lucy Rose, “Middle of the Bed”:
“In moving forward, Lucy decided to return home to record her debut album. Setting up in the basement where she once taught herself guitar, Lucy, the producer Charlie Hugall, recording team and band folded down their beds and mic’ing up the mixing desk. With a nationwide headline tour already underway, be prepared for a confessional long player of disarming intimacy and candid truth. To quote the Daily Star: ‘So simple she makes Adele look try-hard’.”
