London-based songwriter and singer Rosie Lowe first emerged into prominence a decade ago with her 2013 track Right Thing. But with a measured handful of releases under her belt, she knows the importance of taking things slow. Last Friday (16 August), Lowe returned with Lover, Other, her first full-length album in five years since 2019’s YU. Recorded with a portable setup, it’s a diverse journey, blending slinking slow jams, experimental electronics and big breakbeats to soundtrack her signature haunting vocals. Her Sunday Mix zeroes in on the power of voice as an instrument, moving via her own tracks through acapellas, effects-twisted tracks and moments of choral beauty. Lean back and listen.
Where are you today? At home, in London.
What: Eye-closing, vocal-led electronica, jazz, r’n’b, and more
Ideal Sunday? Sundays are my favorite day of the week. There’s no pressure to do anything on a Sunday and I try to keep my Sundays relatively free from plans. My favourite Sundays are at home, pottering around the flat, watering my plants, playing vinyl & cook up a feast for my family.
And what’s your ideal soundtrack to it? I usually tend to play stuff from my vinyl collection on Sundays, often my Sunday go-to’s might be Donny Hathaway, Eddie Chacon, Al Green or Alice Coltrane.
How do you like to unwind away from music? I love watching films, catching up with friends over a nice bottle of wine, or getting lost in a book.
Tell us about your Sunday Mix. My mix is a calming mix of mostly vocal music, or music where vocals are at the forefront of the harmony. I believe vocal music vibrates through the body in a different way. From one chest to another. The voice and using it as an instrument is at the very heart of my writing and production process and this mix includes pieces of music that I listen to a lot and that get me most excited and inspired. I also find this music feels like a hug, and if there’s any day for hugs, it’s a Sunday.
