Rose Gray has officially declared her arrival with her debut album, "Louder, Please." This bonkers, genre-ignoring record firmly identifies her as one of dance-pop's most thrilling new voices. With its thumping beats, hooky stops, and emotional depth, this 12-track LP will be the soundtrack to summer whenever the weather allows.
With a tracklist extending to 41 minutes and 26 seconds, Louder, Please is a sonic playground in which Gray complements old-school rave spirit with contemporary pop stylistics. From club-ready anthems to wallowing, synth-drenched ballads, the album displays her knack for crafting music that is both timeless and forward-thinking.
On the album, Gray says, "Dance music has always storytelling, emotion, movement. "I wanted this album to be feel-good but deep, something you can dance to but also relate to.
Punchy standouts like the electrifying "Damn" and the jubilant "Free" show again Gray's knack for hitting that sweet spot between whimsy and profundity. With irresistible melodies and undeniable energy, these songs embody an artist being put in a box who refuses to stay there.
Having spent months honing her singular pop lingua franca, Gray unfolds a debut that seems casually cool and widely accessible. Whether blasting it at a party or losing yourself in headphones, "Louder, Please" is intended to be heard.
