Lucy Rose has announced her fifth album ‘This Ain’t The Way You Go Out’ and released new single ‘The Racket’ – listen to it below.The UK singer-songwriter will release her new album on April 19 through Communion Records, which you can pre-order/pre-save here.Alongside the announcement, Rose has released new single ‘The Racket’, a tender and defiant reflection on the past atop a swell of hopeful piano keys and sizzling drum beats.The new track comes after the artist returned in October with her first new single in four years, ‘Could You Help Me‘.Listen to ‘The Racket’ and watch the accompanying music video, directed by Dylan Friese-Greene, below.Speaking about the new track in a press statement, Rose said: “I wanted my new album to end on a note of defiance and triumphant; of accepting what’s happened to me, pushing through, picking myself up and continuing life in the best way I can. I also wanted to start the song thanking my son Otis for loving me throughout everything, because really in those darkest times, it was his love that pulled me through.“The song title nods to two things, the fact that the end of the song is an onslaught of noises and instrumentation, and also the fact that before breaking my back and receiving my diagnosis, tennis was a huge passion of mine, and I got told by my doctors I wouldn’t be able to play again, or potentially even walk.
Things you can do if you are staying sober on New Year's Eve
31.12.2023 - 06:11 / manchestereveningnews.co.uk
A big bash to celebrate the New Year is a custom as old as time at this point. After 12 eventful months it’s only normal to usher in a new chapter in the company of friends, family or merry strangers.
The most common way to celebrate is with a good old fashioned party, from nightclubs to halls or house-parties, thousands up and down the country are making plans and sending invites for the big soiree. A staple for these parties is alcohol.
Britain's drinking culture dictates that there be at least a couple bottles of bubbly on deck and more at most parties. However, not everybody is a big fan of alcohol.
There is the obvious reason like religion, but, in recent years there has been a rise in the number of people saying goodbye to alcohol. According Drinkaware, one in five under-25s in the UK are reporting that they're teetotal, the highest figure on record.
In a report, the charity surveyed 5,213 people aged 18 to 24 between 2017 and 2023 and 21 percent of the participants labelled themselves as non drinkers. If you are part of the burgeoning sober generation then you might be thinking of ways to celebrate the New Year without having to drink alcohol.
Here is a list of things you can do if you are staying sober on New Year's.
As the old saying goes, if you want something doing, then do it yourself. Hosting your own New Year's Eve party is probably the most sure fire way to make sure you have fun without the need or temptation of alcohol.
Playing host means you can have full control of a number of factors. From the guest list to the size of the party and most importantly the drink and food on offer.
There is no shame in seeing in the New Year in a much quieter, homely setting. Staying in doesn’t have to be boring
