Rose Gray
Rose Gray sait qu’une nuit parfaite en club peut vous faire renaître. Louder, Please, son tout premier album, capture cette sensation d’euphorie : les visages nouveaux, les amours éphémères, les larmes qui brillent sous les lumières du dancefloor. Entre pop électronique exaltée et house maximaliste, Rose y raconte les hauts et les bas de la vie avec une sincérité brute, portée par des influences comme Robyn, Kylie Minogue et Madonna période Ray of Light.
Née à Walthamstow, à l’est de Londres, Rose chante depuis toujours. D’abord athlète prometteuse, une blessure la pousse à se tourner vers la musique et à composer ses premières chansons sur son piano Casio. Après une brève expérience avec une major, elle se réinvente dans les clubs londoniens, découvrant une liberté nouvelle au cœur des nuits électro. Cette énergie irrigue tout Louder, Please, conçu comme une ode à la fête et à sa puissance transformatrice.
Entourée du compositeur Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Selena Gomez) et de producteurs comme Sega Bodega ou Alex Metric, Rose signe un album qui célèbre l’émotion, la sensualité et la liberté. Des hymnes comme Free, Party People ou Wet and Wild mêlent hédonisme, mélancolie et joie pure. Louder, Please est le récit d’une renaissance, une déclaration d’amour à la musique, à la vie et à tout ce qui nous fait danser encore.

Rose Gray knows that one perfect night at the club can make you feel reborn. Louder, Please, the long-awaited debut album from the London-based singer, songwriter and DJ bottles up the feeling of that one perfect night – the new faces and the new loves, the invigorating new sounds and the tears that look like glitter under dancefloor lights. Comprised of euphoric electronic pop and spine-tingling maximalist club music, Louder, Please announces Gray as a masterful chronicler of life’s ecstatic highs and soul-crushing lows, finding heartfelt experimental pop in the areas between. Inspired by icons she loves like Robyn, Kylie Minogue and Madonna circa Ray of Light, Gray’s storytelling and lyricism locate everyday truth in big-room anthems.
Born in Walthamstow, East London – on New Year’s Eve, an auspicious date for a future club doyenne – Rose Gray has been a musician her whole life: she’s always sung, whether at home listening to pop songs on the radio or in school choirs. Rose originally had her eyes trained on a career in athletics – she was a competitive athlete and long-distance runner when she was younger – until a serious ankle injury forced her to spend months at home rethinking her sporting career. Put on bedrest, Rose Gray turned her attention to her other love, and started writing songs on her Casio piano at home.
On Louder, Please, Rose Gray reveals herself as a canny bridger between the worlds of club music and pop music, drawing on the campy and the totally sincere in equal measure in order to conjure the feeling of one of the greatest nights out ever, where every hour is golden hour and every new friend you meet feels like someone you’ve been waiting to run into. In its instructive title, Louder, Please is also the sound of Rose Gray powerfully – but with quintessential, British politeness – backing herself (who she is, what she wants, and the artist she’s always had the potential to become). Raw and melodic, hopeful and heartfelt, hearing Louder, Please feels like listening to someone’s life story – maybe yours.
