Rosie Carney releases new EP and confronts heartbreak on new single ‘i spoke to god’

Rosie Carney has released ‘i spoke to god’ alongside a new EP i dreamed i was the night today.

The EP was made in New York - with Thomas Bartlett, known for his work with Sufjan Stevens, Vagabon, Florence & The Machine and more, following the success of her debut album Bare.

‘i spoke to god’ was written in Rosie’s family home in Ireland after a 3-month tour, as she explains: “I was very heartbroken at the time and I remember it rained nonstop for a week and I literally didn’t leave my bedroom. All in all, the melody came first, fairly quickly and the lyrics followed slowly after as a poem but made up of gibberish.”

“I basically floated around my room like a ghost talking to myself,” she continues. Despite the title, she says “I’m not religious and I didn’t actually speak to god, but when I did speak to myself, I pretended it was being heard by something much bigger than all of this.”

Although it comes from a place of pain, ‘i spoke to god’ has an edge of optimism: “this song is predominantly a breakup song, but the message is very much one of self-reflection during a time of obsessing over someone who didn’t love me anymore.”

‘i spoke to god’ follows previous single ‘when i look at you’, an intimate cut capturing the last 10 tumultuous years of Rosie’s life which featured her bravely dancing on camera for the first time.
