While the Northern Hemisphere has come off a summer full of dance and club pop, New Zealand and the Southern Hemisphere is defrosting into its own vibrant summer, a vibrant future which Missrosevalentina raves about in full force with her new electro-pop album The Fuchsia Is Rose.

This album comes off the release of four singles Bouquet, Expensiveeee, I Wanna Go to London, and Crush, all of which feature on the album. The second track on the album, Like Sophie (I Feel) references the late pop producer, songwriter, and DJ, Sophie, named as a large influence on this album by Missrosevalentina herself. The song starts off incredibly exciting and creates a really unique sound, especially around halfway through the song where the rhythm breaks and slows down, creating some sick textures. The song continues on and plays with tempo and the textures that are created from speeding up or slowing down different audio tracks.

Sophie influenced and worked with a lot of the music that has been blowing up over the past year, so it is clear that Missrosevalentina is ahead of the times with naming Sophie as a strong influence - maybe the future really is rose?

My personal favourite on the album is I Wanna Go to London, a sonic buffet featuring DATBRY, a rising artist from Houston. I loved the sampling in this song, it reminded me quite strongly of a lot of Azealia Banks’s work, another artist that speaks to the pop of the past year. The second half of the song takes a sonic turn out of left field where the Sophie influences of artistic heavy auto-tune takes over the sonic landscape.

The entire album utilises a crazy range of frequencies, and really leans into the extremes of the range. The bass is pumping, the autotune is hypnotising, and the record is electrifying.

This album is camp. It is for the music experimentalists, the boundary pushers, and the electronic music lovers. The album is infused with confidence and is perfect for listeners looking for a new album to bump on repeat in the club this summer.
