Rose Gray’s ‘Ecstasy’ Has An Intoxicating Sense Of Freedom

Plus, her full 'Higher Than The Sun' EP is out now...

Rose Gray revels in freedom on new single ‘Ecstasy’.

The dance-pop riser has just shared her glorious new EP ‘Higher Than The Sun’ in full, blending club sounds with her emphatic pop touch. With melodies that are easy on the ear and a percussive engine fulled by vintage house and disco she’s very much one to watch, building on the success of previous EP ‘Synchronicity’.

As she puts it: “I wrote this EP over summer 2022 – I think the London heatwave, festivals, and nightlife blossoming has something to do with this EP feeling so free and intoxicating. There’s rave, disco and techno pulsating through ‘Higher Than The Sun’…”

Fresh from landing a spot on the FIFA2023 soundtrack she’s just shared the new EP in full, alongside a bubbly video for her all-out banger ‘Ecstasy’. A song that ripples with freedom, it’s got an intoxicating vibe, a self-described “club banger…”

The 90s leaning production attempts to channel “pure ecstasy, pure anthemic ravey bliss,” as she puts it. Rose adds:

“I played this at Printworks supporting Shygirl and just from how the crowd reacted, I knew I had to lead the EP with this as a single. I wrote it with frequent collaborator Alex Metric, in the studio I became obsessed with the lyric ‘Higher Than The Sun’, it was written in under an hour and felt just so right from the offset. It’s a club record. It undeniably makes you want to dance.“ 

Tune in now.
