Gemma Rogers

Last month, Gemma released ‘Stop’, the first of two singles that precede debut album ‘No Place Like Home’. The up-tempo track is a collaboration with Alfie Jackson and Sean Genockey, and speaks to the invasive and personal nature of social media with a call to pause, look around and explore the possibilities of the tangible world at our feet. From the minimalist motorik riff that propels the tune, to the unexpected summer smash allure of the chorus, ‘Stop’ is as infectious as it is thought-provoking. 
 Hot on its heels is brand new single ‘My Idea of Fun’ set to be released alongside the album on July 22nd. Written to accompany a David Shillinglaw exhibition in Hoxton, Gemma penned the lyrics whilst nursing a broken heart and staying at a friend’s in Brighton. Her brother, Nick, came up with the guitar riff and Arlen Figgis remixed it, bringing in DJ Fast from the Fun Lovin’ Criminals to play melodica and additional keys. Brimming with raw humour ‘My Idea of Fun’ is a colloquial commentary on the trials of drinking in the afternoon. Gemma’s effortless vocal delivery is matched by her lyrical prowess resulting in a masterful piece of musical comedy.
