ROSE GRAY RELEASES LATEST SINGLE ‘PARTY PEOPLE’

Rose Gray returns with her latest single, ‘Party People’, taken from upcoming and long-awaited debut album Louder, Please – coming via Play It Again Sam on January 17th. 

Party People marks the fifth and final single of Rose’s album rollout – and follows a delivery of unabashed bangers that have soundtracked our year, including ‘Free’, ‘Angel Of Satisfaction’, ‘Switch’ and most recently ‘Wet & Wild’. Alongside these releases Rose has been busy collaborating with Ben Hemsley (Tidal), Megra (Elixir) and TSHA (‘Girls’), as well as performing at Glastonbury alongside Shygirl, launching her own club night (Rose presents Gray Selects), recording her own session at Maida Vale for BBC Sounds and announcing her first headline UK tour for March 2025 as well as a run of in-store performances during album release week (more info below). Now, with a nomination for MTV Push Artist of 2025, Rose is solidifying her status as a rising star in music and fashion.

Gray’s latest offering is a club anthem for the party season, inspired by carefree nights. Written after a Paris session with Sega Bodega, Rose recalls, “I had 3 hours of sleep, took the Eurostar, wrote all day, and loved it instantly. It captures the euphoria of entering a party.” 

From its instructive title to its unapologetic sound, Louder, Please is Rose Gray powerfully – but with quintessential, British politeness – backing herself (who she is, what she wants, and the artist she’s always had the potential to become). It’s a statement of intent reflected in the record’s breadth of collaborators, which span legendary pop kingpins Justin Tranter (Lady Gaga, Chappel Roan) and Zhone (Troye Sivan) to underground electronic heroes like Sega Bodega, Uffie and Alex Metric. Throughout Louder, Please pairs home truths with dance hedonism, summoning not just a transformative night out – the new faces and chosen family, ecstatic highs and crushing lows – but also telling Rose Gray’s story: a life lived through club music, and always to its fullest. 

Confessions – and the occasional crisis – on the dancefloor have increasingly become Rose Gray’s calling-card. Quite literally born to do it (her birthday is New Year’s Eve), the Walthamstow-based artist has hustled behind-the-scenes with roles ranging from the cloakroom girl to roleplaying illnesses for medical students. Rose’s early releases – the Dancing Drinking Talking mixtape, plus the Higher Than The Sun and Synchronicity EPS – captured London living as its daily grinds fade into those no-regrets, coming-of-age experiences. They were met with widespread acclaim, sold-out headline shows, support across BBC Radio 1, and were followed by collaborations with the likes of Clipz and DJ Kungs (not to mention supporting and writing for Melanie C). It’s an outlook and refined aesthetic which Rose Gray takes to the next level on Louder, Please, which she has controlled from every beat up to its sun-kissed visuals: think Kylie’s ‘Slow’, meets Sexy Beast. 

Introducing her debut album, Rose Gray comments: “I’ve always been obsessed with LOUD music, from late night car journeys with my Popps as a kid to spending my teens glued to the speakers of clubs. The album title was born on the mic, a running joke where I was always asking for things to be louder (please). I’ve spent ten years writing for myself and others, exploring different cities and their parties – but I’ve always known that I was working towards a body of work that brought all that together, and represented all sides of me. There’s definitely something in my personality which loves the adventure, and is always searching for more: I’ve also had my heart broken, fallen back in love, and become a woman in the process. To me, Louder, Please captures the rave, the ethereal, my friends and our stories: it’s classic pop with its roots firmly in the underground. On a beach or in a club, I want these songs to find their homes in someone else’s life. So enjoy – but make sure you play it LOUD, please?”
