Avant-pop wunderkind, Rosie Tee, a composer/performer from Birmingham UK, has announced a new collaborative Remix EP aptly entitled ‘RE // EMBRACE’ featuring five vastly contrasting reworks of songs from her 2021 EP ‘Earth, Embrace Me In’ by Vanishing Twin, Wildforms, NikNak, Matters & Maya Yenn.
‘Earth, Embrace Me In’ was widely praised as a “mind-bending release” (Earmilk) and “a joy” (BBC Introducing). A collection of bittersweet songs, both cinematic and intimate, that fluttered with angelic synths, swirling around complex jazz drums and melodies, mixed with unexpected twists and turns that lend to Tee’s experimental tendencies.
Half a year later, this adventure in sound has been furthered by a group of new collaborators, who have completely transformed Tee’s songs for this release. She says of the process,
“I invited these artists to pick a track from the EP and go wild. I love their work and couldn’t wait to hear how they reinterpreted my music for their own. Their playful approaches have sprung some truly inspiring and unexpected results.”
To close the EP, Rosie invited UK independent producer, singer, and songwriter Maya Yenn to remix her track “Emerald”. Having played together in bands as teenagers, Maya and Rosie have always been musically in sync. Inspired by the upbeat productions of Glass Animals and Jungle, Maya shifts the expansive, jazz-tinged sentiments of “Emerald” into realms of tight, tropical, summer-fuelled beats.
“Working on this remix was honestly some of the most fun I've had in the studio for a long time! I worked on it pretty exclusively for two days straight playing around with Rosie's airy vocals and different sounds and textures. Rosie's sound is so rich and atmospheric, I wanted to keep that richness for the remix but exchanged that luxurious expansiveness for something very energetic and tight for a different feel.“ explains Yenn
