#15 | Rosie Lowe | YU
Wolf Tone/Caroline International

According to Justin Chadwick: “With YU, Rosie Lowe demonstrates just how cool under pressure she is by delivering an exquisitely crafted stunner of a second album that transcends the promise and power augured by its precursor. Meanwhile, and never one to rest on her creative laurels, Lowe has expanded her already-distinctive, refreshingly unorthodox sonic palette, due in large part to her continued partnership with her musical kindred spirit and co-producer Dave Okumu, who shines here once again, amongst the other featured collaborators….At the beating heart of Lowe’s spellbinding second act are the various manifestations of love that compel her—love for herself, for her partner, and for making music. And with YU, a masterclass in modern soul, she has gifted her listeners with a truly inspired record that’s easy to love.”
