Après avoir œuvré ces dernières années aux créations des autres (réalisations d’album, composition et habillage sonore, script-édition de chansons, mise en œuvre de balados), Rosie fait paraître, à l’automne 2022, son 3e opus Emmanuelle. Sa façon de composer fait preuve de maturité, de sérénité. Rosie travaille de plus en plus en séquences et s’éloigne de l'improvisation, du premier jet. En résulte une pop décomplexée et complexe, plus méthodique, mais plus sincère. Des compositions qui rappellent les sons de Clara Luciani, Angèle ou Christine and the Queens par l’importance et la qualité de la voix, au centre de tout. Plus jeune, Rosie voulait jouer de tous les instruments possibles. Maintenant, elle assume sa grande force et la met en lumière, la magnifie ; son instrument, c’est sa voix.

ROSIE VALLAND SHARES HER LATEST SINGLE + VIDEO NON MERCI
HER NEW ALBUM “EMMANUELLE” WILL BE AVAILABLE OCTOBER 28 VIA SECRET CITY RECORDS
DON’T MISS HER RECORD LAUNCH CONCERT IN MONTREAL ON NOVEMBER 23
Today singer-songwriter Rosie Valland shares her latest single Non merci, off her new album, Emmanuelle, which will be available October 28 via Secret City Records. According to Rosie, Non merci is what she would have liked to say to all the people who belittled her and made her feel inadequate. She explains: Those people who treated me like I didn’t know how to do my job, as if I always owed them something. Those people who mansplained to me, who infantilized me, who put me down. That’s the worst feeling. This song represents the power dynamics in music, but also in every workplace. This new single depicts human nature, while also acting as a joyful, irreverent feminist anthem. To me, Non merci is a wonderful, friendly way to take my revenge while dancing!
Today at noon, the Non merci video will premiere on YouTube with a live chat with Rosie. Regarding the video, director Marie-Pier Meilleur says she was inspired by early 2000s pop culture. The Non merci video is an ode to the power of friendship, the fun of getting together, musical sisterhood, as well as the places that make us feel nostalgic.

Singer-songwriter Rosie Valland crafts melodic alternative pop you can dance to. She studied music at l’École internationale de la chanson de Granby in 2011–2012, before releasing a self-titled EP in 2014. Her first full-length album, Partir avant, made a powerful impression on the emerging music scene in 2015. She then released two EPs (Nord-Est, Syncho) that each won the Best Pop EP award at the GAMIQ. Released mere days before the planet went into lockdown in 2020, the album BLUE was critically acclaimed—A solid album of profound, catchy, sophisticated pop. Flawless. (ICI Musique). Rosie later released the BLEU EP, which features spared down piano/voice covers of songs from BLUE.
After spending a few years working on the creative endeavours of others (album production, songwriting, arrangements, script-editing of songs, podcasting), Rosie will release her third LP Emmanuelle in the fall of 2022. Her songwriting has grown more mature, more grounded. She leaves behind improvisation and first takes, working in sequences instead. The result is unapologetic pop that is more intricate, more methodical, but also more heartfelt. Like Clara Luciani, Angèle or Christine and the Queens, her music focuses on the quality of the vocals. While she wanted to play every instrument imaginable when she was younger, Rosie now wants to showcase her greatest instrument: her voice.
