Anew by Crystal Rose

In Anew, I honor deep love and friendship while holding up lost love and life in my other palm.

Emi Trevena and I started this project with the thought of making just one song, “Thought I’d Say”. I quickly asked Emi if he’d be up for making a full EP together. We jumped into “Falling Up”- Emi had sent me the song as a guitar piece before, and I knew I wanted to write to it in tribute to a dear friend who had suddenly passed. From there we wrote 4 more songs together, totaling 6 songs. This EP holds our 4 favorites. All vocals were recorded by myself in my Brooklyn bedroom, and Emi and I got to collaborate via video call for every song. It really felt like each song was charged with the immediacy of the moment- they definitely had to come out of us into the world.

I work to create genuine musical work linking genres and the subject matters of interconnectedness, electrical musings, the human voice, trauma, great love, the every day and the extra.
