Rosie Lowe - Son '2021

Tracks list

       ‘SON’ was recorded in London and Freetown between 2019-21.
Inspired by the pair’s shared love of choral music, it began as an
experiment to explore playing with the voice in more creative ways, using
layered vocals as an instrument following piano harmony, arrangement and
sampling.

The project started in London with the title track and became a story about a
world in which we hide our true ‘colours’ in order to fit in. A
mother tells her son that he needs to fit in to survive before realising that
she is following the same tropes passed on to her as a child. Following this
realisation, she encourages her son to protect his dreams and not to listen to
anybody telling him he can’t be whatever he chooses.

Rosie joined Duval for a week in Freetown in February 2020 where they wrote the
rest of the project, bringing friends Daniel Koroma, Kandeh Bangura, Valentine
Coker, Chino Greene and Tom Herbert in for musical contributions;

“We were interested in bringing our surroundings into the recordings;
leaving doors open, recording in different spaces and locations, inviting the
listener to experience the life that was going on around us whilst capturing the
process”.

“Son” will be released digitally and on limited-edition green vinyl
on November 12th via Carrying Colour. The music was written, performed and
produced by Duval Timothy and Rosie Lowe, mixed by Marta Salogni and mastered by
Heba Kadry. The artwork was designed by Duval Timothy.
