Rising US artist and songwriter Esther Rose will be in the UK for three shows in May, a few days after the scheduled release of her latest long player, “Want”. Catch her, here:
May 19th Glasgow, UK @ Glad Cafe
May 20th Manchester, UK @ The Lodge
May 21st London, UK @ Lexington
She has just dropped the latest single, “New Bad” and the video for it…
Esther Rose will release “Want” on 2nd May 2025 via New West Records, an 11-track set produced by Ross Farbe (of Video Age) and recorded live-to-tape at the Bomb Shelter in Nashville. “Want” is the anticipated follow-up to 2023’s, “Safe to Run”.
The new album features appearances by singer-songwriter Dean Johnson as well as members of Video Age, The Deslondes, and Silver Synthetic. The video for the first single, “New Bad,” was directed by the artist and New York Times’ bestselling author Anna Marie Tendler.
Esther says, “Working with Anna Marie Tendler was the collaboration I’ve always dreamed of. We sparked an easy, natural rapport out of mutual admiration for each other’s artistry. After I read her book ‘Men Have Called Her Crazy’, I sent her a note, saying that my unreleased album and her memoir were apparently spiritual twins. Luckily, she agreed.”
Santa Fe-based Esther Rose considered quitting music altogether after she concluded the tour for “Safe to Run”, feeling exhausted and depleted, seeing no way to continue at her relentless pace. After quitting drinking and finding new momentum in therapy, she devoted herself to the new material, letting ideas flow without worrying about the final product; under the working title ‘The Therapy LP.’
Esther Rose has announced her initial tour dates in support of “Want.” She just launched a co-headline tour with Twain in Austin, TX, which features stops at Gold Diggers in Los Angeles, The Blue Room at Third Man Records in Nashville, Baby’s All Right in Brooklyn, New York, and more. She will also support Andrew Combs in the Netherlands, Norway, and Sweden prior to her UK headline dates in May.
