| Rosie Valland dévoile également aujourd’hui le projet d’un balado inspiré de la trame documentaire Réflexion (sur le corps) et qui accompagnera le EP BLEU. Le balado sera disponible en novembre et plus de détails seront partagés sous peu. Rosie explique : C’est suite à la création de Réflexion (sur le corps), une pièce documentaire où l’on entend ma grand-mère, ma mère et une ancienne professeure me dépeindre leurs rapports à leur corps, que j’ai eu envie d’approfondir le sujet. L'apparence et le trouble de l'image étant des thèmes récurrents dans mes chansons - cette fois-ci, c’est en parlant avec des personnalités qui m’inspirent que je souhaite mieux comprendre cette relation souvent complexe qui existe entre l’humain et son reflet. On se retrouve donc en novembre avec Réflexions - mon balado.

BLUE, son dernier album est sorti le 28 février 2020 et fut encensé par les critiques : un solide album d’une pop profonde, accrocheuse, et sophistiquée. Sans faute. s’exclame ICI Musique, tandis que le Journal Métro partage : Entre assurance et vulnérabilité, Rosie Valland s'affirme sur ce deuxième album introspectif. La Presse, quant à elle, renchérit : [...] c’est cette sérénité qui exsude la pop mélodieuse et léchée, mais jamais sirupeuse, empreinte de douceur de BLUE. BLUE émane de la volonté de se libérer de ses tourments, véritable moteur de création pour l’autrice-compositrice-interprète. Pour la première fois, elle prend le chapeau de réalisatrice, auprès de Jesse Mac Cormack. En juillet dernier, Rosie Valland a sorti une reprise audacieuse et sublime (selon l’émission belge Tabarnak!) de la pièce Désenchantée de Mylène Farmer.

Rosie Valland unveils BLEU, a piano/voice EP out november 13
Two singles out now
She also announces Réflexions, a podcast inspired by the EP
Today singer-songwriter Rosie Valland is thrilled to announce BLEU — a “piano/voice” mini-album where she covers some of her own songs from her most recent album, BLUE. BLEU will be available in digital version on November 13 via Secret City Records. 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.
Two tracks off the new EP are already available: the song Loin as well as a new documentary track entitled Réflexions (sur le corps).

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.
Today Rosie Valland also unveils a podcast project inspired by the documentary track Réflexion (sur le corps), which will accompany the BLEU EP. The podcast will be available in November. More details will be shared soon. Rosie explains: Following the creation of the documentary track Réflexions (sur le corps), where you can hear my grandmother, my mother and a former teacher tell me about their relationship with their bodies, I wanted to take this further. Appearances and body-image disorder are recurring themes in my songs. This time, it’s by talking to personalities who inspire me that I wanted to better understand the sometimes complex relationship that exists between humans and their reflections/bodies. See you in November with Réflexions — my podcast.

BLUE, her latest album, was released on February 28, 2020, and was critically acclaimed: Rosie Valland […] delivers a solid album of profound, catchy, sophisticated pop. Flawless. praises ICI Musique, while Journal Metro declares: Blending confidence and vulnerability, Rosie Valland asserts herself on this introspective sophomore effort. La Presse adds: [...] BLUE’s refined melodic pop exudes serenity and tenderness, without ever becoming cloying. BLUE stems from a desire to free herself from her torments, which became creative fuel for the singer-songwriter. For the first time, she acted as a producer, alongside Jesse Mac Cormack. Last July, Rosie Valland released a bold, sublime (according to the Belgian show Tabarnak!) cover of the song Désenchantée by Mylène Farmer.
