Hello guys! After I went through a hard time lately for the midterm exam, I am back again to show you more about "Lucy Rose", an English singer-songwriter, as I mentioned in the previous blog. I have shown you the first studio album already. So, let's know her more and more with the second and third album.
When she started writing the album, she set out to make a clear departure from 2012’s folk-pop release "Like I Used To". Though it wasn’t an easy task, she didn’t want to make the same album twice. So, she’s trading acoustic guitars for synth instruments, and in the process, she crafted something totally new. While the music behind the lyrics may sound different, she hasn’t lost her talent for introspective songwriting.
While working on material for a second album, she appeared as a guest vocalist on albums by artists such as Manic Street Preachers, rapper Ghostpoet, and (again) Bombay Bicycle Club. In early 2015, her single "Our Eyes" began airing on radio. "Work It Out" followed in July of that year, on Columbia Records, showed her "development as a person." Her album was recorded at London's Snap Studios and produced by Rich Cooper, notable for his work alongside Mumford & Sons and Tom Odell.
In an interview, she said that the first record was more acoustic, folk, and alternative. But the second album has taken a little more of an upbeat, indie-pop feel. She just wanted to try something different.
In the spring of 2016, Lucy Rose was inspired by the number of tweets and Spotify streams coming from Latin America and decided to give something back to her fans in those territories. Lucy offered a deal to her fans: "If you book me a gig, I'll come and stay."
For two months, Rose reached out to her audience in Latin America and organized a tour in 2016. She traveled with only a guitar and a backpack, playing shows for free and staying with fans, all the while filming her experiences for a mini-documentary. The following year she was back, Lucy began work on her third studio album, "Something's Changing" to be released on Communion Records. The album was recorded in 17 days with producer Tim Bidwell, along with bassist Ben Daniel and drummer Chris Boot in Brighton.
