Lucy Rose

Shortly after giving birth to her first child, Otis, in 2021, Lucy Rose developed excruciating pain, eventually diagnosed as rare pregnancy-induced osteoporosis. Recovery was gradual, but as her confidence started to rebuild, so did her usual inhibitions in music making.

A week spent in the US with rapper and producer Logic, and the influence of British producer/artist Kwes, helped Lucy take her music in thrilling new directions and lay down a new album, full of joy, with a sense of playfulness too.

This Ain’t The Way You Go Out is an album constructed from the ashes of despair, nurturing the tiniest of green shoots and giving life to something that had looked otherwise spent. It’s a new era for Lucy, and an era in its purest, truest sense. An artist re-awakening herself to the power of music, and having a lot of fun in the process of its discovery and delivery.

“On This Ain’t the Way You Go Out, Rose expands her capabilities as a songwriter and musician while maintaining the warmth that’s made her a British folk staple for over a decade.”
