Pop auteur and artist Ariana and the Rose, inspired by the polar excitement of love and loss, and fuelled by existential uncertainty, releases her new EP 'Retrograde' out now. The four-song EP showcases the evolution of Ariana's art and exudes an ebullient cool with dance floor wonder.
Vice Noisey, Nylon, V Magazine, Wonderland, and Clash Magazine are already fans of Ariana and the Rose, and Red Bull Music calls her "both intriguing but knock-your-socks-off immediate at the same time." These new songs feature production contributions from Tom Fuller, Me Not You, and RKCB, and orbit the same meticulous, metallic pop universe created by Robyn and Kate Bush. Recently-released single "Love You Lately" is a magnetic, head-bobbing duet with LA electro-R&B duo RKCB, and "[brings] out a more sultry, R&B-toned side to Ariana," while the song "captures the sting of relationship disintegration" (Noisey). "Supercool" sketches an image of a picturesque party lifestyle while peering beneath that deceptive façade which Nylon calls "a rich portrait of New York" with "cosmic-tinted electro beats" (Nylon). Opening track "How Does That Make You Feel" features Ariana's wispy falsetto, underpinned by massive percussion, atmospheric synths, and modulated vocal harmonies. Ariana's captivating voice is surrounded by ethereal instrumentation on "the haunting and cool" (PopDust) "These Ruins," which feels like exploring an unknown-yet-faintly-recognizable universe, capped off by a crescendo of drums. These four tracks paint a moody, otherworldly electronic hue, each thematically rooted in those ideas of love and loss.Ariana And the Rose, RKCB - Love You Lately [Official Video]
