BLEU — a “piano/voice” mini-album where Rosie Valland covers some of her own songs from her most recent album, BLUE. Stark, minimalist, and putting Rosie’s gorgeous voice up front, the new versions of her songs instantly win over our hearts. Raw emotion resonates throughout the six tracks.

Rosie shares the process that led to BLEU: The idea for this EP came along after a piano/voice concert last December. A few weeks before the release of my album BLUE, I was surprised to rediscover my songs in a way I never knew them before. Now, thanks to my home studio, my songs quickly have rather rich arrangements! Hence, a project that I imagined putting out much later, i.e. after my tour, finally became a reality much quicker than expected. Probably because going back to basics, to musical intimacy resembled what we were asked to do during these recent months of lockdown.
