Something’s Changing

Something’s Changing (2017) represents a pivotal 'reset' in Lucy Rose's career. Following a period of disillusionment with the music industry, Rose embarked on a fan-organized tour of South America, an experience that profoundly influenced the album's themes of self-discovery and home. Recorded at Brighton's Echo Zoo studios with producer Tim Bidwell, the album intentionally eschews the electronic flourishes of Work It Out in favor of a live-to-tape, analog aesthetic. The record features contributions from The Staves and Elena Tonra (Daughter), adding to its rich, communal folk texture. Critics noted the album's shift toward a more mature, jazz-inflected singer-songwriter tradition, drawing comparisons to the likes of Joni Mitchell or Carole King. It stands as her most critically respected work, cementing her identity as a purveyor of sophisticated chamber folk.
