Atlanta-based singer-songwriter and musician Jordan Reynolds is about to release her debut album as Hotel Rose. So far, we’ve heard and loved the previously released songs “10 K” and “Running Behind.” Today, she is back with the last advance single of the album “Write Home.”

A delicate and laid-back dream pop song with jazz influences, “Write Home” is about moving forward in your life. The whole album actually dissects crumbling relationships and the disorienting feelings of striking out on your own. One must say that Reynolds has attended 11 different schools during her life so she particularly knows how challenging it is to constantly say goodbye to your friends and leave the places you love. With this instability comes also a lot of questions that she eventually turns into songs, as she explains:

[su_quote]I think I use songs to ask questions. Was it right? Would you believe me? Won’t you write home? Do you think you could do better? Did you only hold me to pass the time? Much of the record is me asking lots of questions, attempting to find the answers, and fully-well knowing that they may never come plainly. Perhaps, in some way, the title to this album is some semblance of an answer to all the questions therein.[/su_quote]

Listen to Rose Hotel‘s new single “Write Home” below.

A few weeks after the beautiful “10K,” Rose Hotel unveils a brand new single from her upcoming debut album. Though it’s the album closer, “Running Behind” was the first song frontwoman Jordan Reynolds wrote for the 9-track record; a project that is all about transitioning through life and learning from the different phases we endure. The album was actually composed during a period of frustration, when the Atlanta-based singer-songwriter was feeling out of phase with her art and relationships. Encapsulating this state of mind and the feeling of constantly “running behind” life, this bedroom rock single will speak to anyone who has ever experienced the imposter syndrome. This anxiety-loaded new song also comes with a self-directed video that you can watch below.

After making a strong introduction to the American bedroom pop scene with her EP Always A Good Reason, Rose Hotel is releasing her debut album on May 31st. Her first full-band album, I Will Only Come When It’s A Yes will expand on the intimate sounds she showcased in her early material by featuring a varied, ten-plus cast of Atlanta indie musicians. Rose Hotel is premiering the LP with the lush and fun “10 K”, a stunning pop song that demonstrates her obvious investment with all C86 material.

Though her new album is supposed to represent a more polished version of her early songs, the lo-fi charm that tinged early Rose Hotel material is still well and alive here. With her understated vocals buried in the mix and a playful rhythm section toying around in the background, “10 K” is an up-tempo jangle pop song that brings to mind early R.E.M. and The Smiths, as well as the more modern and twee take on the genre offered in the first Alvvays album. During its first three minutes, “10 K” is the kind of song you’d go to on a melancholy summer day. It’s fun and candid, yet it possesses a certain sadness that is explored in-depth in its one-minute outro, where Rose Hotel drops the tempo to close the song with an introspective finale that ruminates on the rest of the track. It’s a lovely, promising song, and we couldn’t be more excited to hear the whole thing.
