Earlier this year one half of Let’s Eat Grandma, Jenny Hollingworth, released her debut solo album as Jenny On Holiday, and now the other half of the duo has announced her solo debut. Rosa Walton will release Tell Me It’s A Dream on June 5 via Transgressive. She co-produced it with David Wrench, and it features John Victor (guitar), Kam Khan (bass), and Elena Costa (drums), with Hollingworth appearing on “Prettier Things.” “Tell Me It’s A Dream is about being ambitious and seeing enhanced beauty in the world,” Walton says. “It’s about striving for ultimate freedom. A lot of the attitude in these songs is about following your dreams – and that’s exactly what I intend to do.”
“The idea of doing a solo project was never about stepping away or doing something on my own for the sake of it,” she adds. “It started as writing to process things and stay grounded, and it grew into something shaped by the people around me and the joy of making music together.”
The first single is an infectious, anthemic synth pop track, “Sorry Anyway.” Rosa says it’s “about not letting anyone hold you back, whether in a relationship or in chasing your ambitions. It’s about doing your own thing, embracing who you are, and not caring about fitting into boxes, and also trying to inspire others to have this attitude. We had fun making it – it’s the flippant, messiness that makes the song, and it was also the beginning of a new vocal style for me. I’m owning all parts of myself.” Watch the video, directed by Ivana Bobic, below.
