Wolf Alice has announced their fourth studio album, 'The Clearing,' set to release on August 29th, marking their first new music in four years. The album, produced by Greg Kurstin and released via RCA Records, signifies a shift from their previous label. Inspired by '70s classic rock and pop, the first single, 'Bloom Baby Bloom,' features potent themes of personal growth. Frontwoman Ellie Rowsell explores her voice's raw power while performing, with a music video that captures the song's vibrant energy.
I wanted a rock song, to focus on the performance element of a rock song and sing like Axl Rose, but to be singing a song about being a woman.
Built from a sturdy piano line and some syncopated handclaps and tom hits, 'Bloom Baby Bloom' finds frontwoman Ellie Rowsell meditating on personal evolution, inner strength.
The album finds the group inspired by classic rock and pop from the '70s, described as something close to 'if Fleetwood Mac wrote an album today in North London.'
Rowsell remains an enigmatic vocalist, bringing softness, poise, and fury all at once; her skyscraping pre-chorus is a particularly beaming moment of 'Bloom Baby Bloom.'
