âBritish songwriter Rosie Lowe releases her album YU, an ethereal journey into her mind and emotions. The first track, Lifeline, flows perfectly into The Way, a vibrant and happy jam that makes you want to dance around the room your listening in, with a poetic feature from Jay Electronica. The next track, by far the standout, is titled Birdsong. A slow and seductive bassline and catchy synth melody compliment the heavily processed vocals from Rosie to make a head-bobbing tune worth listening to. A guitar solo intro fades into a smooth beat full of stabs and one-shots on the track Pharaoh, where Rosie talks about the power she wields as a woman. Mango features a beautiful chorus of horns during the refrain, and transitions perfectly once again into ITILY, a slow jam dedicated to her lover. Another standout track, UEMM features a pounding kick, well-placed synth stabs, and beautiful vocal chops after the chorus. The album ends with an emotional piano ballad that finishes with a lo-fi beat breakdown, a perfect resolution for the project. This album wasnât anything special and doesnât have much replay value, but it definitely had its moments and I enjoyed most tracks.

Author: Frank McLaughlin"Outside of the working world, music is something I invest a lot of time in, in more ways than one. I could spend hours on my SoundCloud timeline, Apple Music, or YouTube discovering new artists to listen to and enjoy. I have channeled this love into brief music reviews that can be found in the appropriate part of this website, and more recently, the First State Studios website. I have also begun to produce music myself, learning the ins and outs of Ableton, Serum, Audacity, and other necessary software, and it still remains one of my favorite ways to spend my free time. It has sparked a love for learning new technologies and software and is something I hope to continue to grow with. I feel that my lifelong interest in the technical side of creative arts combined with my newfound analytical knowledge combine perfectly to serve me well in the marketing and advertising realm."
