SINGER-SONGWRITER-
MULTI-INSTRUMENTALIST
& POSSIBLY THE NEXT PROG ROCK QUEEN
(FORMERLY OF PURSON)
NEW SELF-TITLED SOLO RELEASE AVAILABLE JULY 26TH
EXCLUSIVE INTERVIEW
Since her celebrated band
Purson played its final gig in December 2016, singer, songwriter and
multi-instrumentalist Rosalie Cunningham has been quietly reinventing her
career and is emerging from her self-imposed “musical hibernation” as the
visionary solo artist she always was.
Rosalie’s eponymous début
album – due for release in early 2019 – is the result of an extended period of
reflection and will contain her strongest and most daring songwriting to date,
ranging from a three minute Blackbird-esque nod to her creative hero Sir Paul
McCartney, to an epic prog rock saga that will take the listener on the mother
of all sonic journeys.
The album features a full
range of musical styles showing off to the full Rosalies incredible vocal range
and playing ability and is sure to delight both old fans of Purson and
hopefully many new fans.
The self-titled album
will be available both on Digipack single CD and 180-gram vinyl format on July
26th. In support of the release, Rosalie and her band will be touring the UK in
July 2019 with further dates to come.
Her creativity first
reached the wider public in 2007 when she founded her first professional band,
the all-female, Gothic-psychedelic outfit Ipso Facto, releasing three singles
and a mini album, touring as support to Magazine and The Last Shadow Puppets,
and becoming the new darlings of the festival circuit.
After Ipso Facto’s split,
Rosalie immersed herself in the session world, guesting with numerous bands and
artists, and appearing on TV programmes including ‘Later… With Jools Holland’,
‘BBC Electric Proms’ and NBC’s ‘Jay Leno Show’, however, the burning urge to
cultivate her own music was never far away. In 2011, wearing her psychedelic
influences even more proudly, Rosalie’s next move was to launch the
internationally acclaimed Purson.
For Rosalie, her creative
spring has finally blossomed, though not without a few birth pangs. She
explains: “After Purson came to an end, I continued to write songs, not for an
album, a band or anything in particular – it was purely cathartic. Being
subconsciously released from the shackles of writing music for a band to
perform live let me express myself more honestly. Some of the lyrics are quite
close to the bone and I’ve found myself exploring new genres.
