Lucinda Chua has released her new EP, 'Reclaiming The Rose'.
Arriving via 4AD, it follows on from her debut album, 'YIAN', which arrived earlier this year. Commenting on the concept behind the EP, she explained:
"Following the release of 'YIAN', I had the opportunity to perform my music and connect with new audiences across Europe and Asia.
"'Reclaiming The Rose' is a bi-lingual meditation exploring ideas of returning, remembering and retracing ancestral roots. I was inspired by the journey of the rose; a plant indigenous to China that made its way to the UK in the 1700s.
"I met the artist and poet He Sun at a music festival in Italy and found a kinship with one of her poems. I wanted to set these words to music, to hear the words spoken in both their English and Mandarin form. I asked my friend Xiaoqiao to join me on the final song."
The release comes with news of live dates for 2024, including shows in Bristol and London with the London Contemporary Orchestra and Galya Bisengalieva presented by the Barbican. Head here for details.
