Let's Eat Grandma's Rosa Walton details debut solo album, Tell Me It’s A Dream

After over a decade of performing alongside Jenny Hollingworth as Let's Eat Grandma, Walton is entering a new chapter with Tell Me It's A Dream, which is noted as her most personal and expansive statement yet. "Sorry Anyway" arrives as the first preview of Walton's upcoming work, and sees her focus on self-acceptance and embracing individuality.

Discussing the single, Walton explains: “This song is about not letting anyone hold you back, whether in a relationship or in chasing your ambitions. It’s about doing your own thing, embracing who you are, and not caring about fitting into boxes, and also trying to inspire others to have this attitude. We had fun making it - it’s the flippant, messiness that makes the song, and it was also the beginning of a new vocal style for me. I’m owning all parts of myself.”

Walton first began working on Tell Me It's A Dream during lockdown in sessions with Sam E Yamaha. She later revisited the songs, going on to record the album at StudiOwz with production duties split between herself and David Wrench (Frank Ocean, Jamie xx, FKA twigs). The album also features contributions from guitarist John Victor, bassist Kam Khan, drummer Elena Costa, and Hollingworth, who appears on unreleased track “Prettier Things”.

Speaking about her decision to release a solo project, Walton explains: “The idea of doing a solo project was never about stepping away or doing something on my own for the sake of it. It started as writing to process things and stay grounded, and it grew into something shaped by the people around me and the joy of making music together.”

“Tell Me It’s A Dream is about being ambitious and seeing enhanced beauty in the world,” she says of the album. “It’s about striving for ultimate freedom. A lot of the attitude in these songs is about following your dreams - and that’s exactly what I intend to do.”
