Eileen Rose interview

4 weeks ago 18th Jul 11:14

Eileen Rose has taken her music to Detroit, tracked down the city's deep-rooted musical soul and made it all her own. FemaleFirst caught up with the singer as she prepares to release her most accomplished record, yet; a joyous celebration of the accidents of life, love and human nature.

You are about to release your new album, “At Our Tables, how would you describe the sound?

The overall sound is like the rest of my albums; a mixture of lots of different influences, there’s always rock and roots there and a little bit of country. From song to song it’s a little bit of everything, but for this record I used more loops and drum beats which I’ve done before and I really like.

You have already had three successful records under your belt, how did making this one compare to the other three?

Each album was its own thing; the first album I made with the guys from Alabama Three and the whole band went residential to a place called Model Valley and we all pretty much lived there for a week and made the record.

When I did Long Shot Novena that was spread out over a couple of months and I worked with two producers and went in every day and it was more of a slower process and a little bit more crafted.

With this one I went out to Detroit, which is a city I haven’t spent much time in, and people flew in to help, the guitarist flew in from London, and my brother flew in to play mandolin but it was different and it felt a bit more like what I had always imagined making an album would be like when I was younger, but still, when it comes down to it, I still go into the room with my acoustic guitar or a piano and I still put down the core of the song and everything else get’s built around it. The style we record in changes, but at the end of the day, I’m still sitting there staring at a microphone.
