Alessi Rose has shared new single ‘pretty world’, the third track to be unveiled from her upcoming EP ‘For Your Validation’, set for release on 17th January via AWAL.
The Derby-born, London-based Dork cover star has also recently announced a sold-out UK and European tour for March 2025, with 13,000 tickets purchased within minutes of going on sale. Following venue upgrades and additional dates, the tour will include a performance at London’s KOKO on 7th April.
“‘pretty world’ was written in amongst my first load of live shows, and it’s kinda this anti-imposter syndrome anthem where it fully sank in that this is everything younger me has ever wanted to do, and that i wish she could see me now. it’s dedicated to that feeling at the end of a show where i really just want to stay there forever with the audience because i know the minute it’s over i’m mourning it,” Rose explains.
The track follows previous singles ‘imsochillandcool’ and ‘oh my’, and was written by Rose alongside Charlie Hugall, who produced the song.
Speaking about the EP, Rose adds: “my ep ‘for your validation’ is dedicated to the many feelings i have developed growing up, through seeking security and reassurance in all aspects of my life, whether it’s as an artist and role model or as a friend or a daughter or even just a normal human. the songs on this ep reflect the many different times i’ve felt insecure and sought someone else to validate that i am normal and okay and everything is going as planned, which tends to be a common occurrence with my ocd. i like the fact that through assembling the ep i’ve realised that validation isn’t necessarily a desperate word, it just stems from a desire to belong somewhere, with someone, doing something, which i think is such a shared experience.”
