Rumination as Ritual, the debut EP by Alessi Rose, arrives like a shot of adrenaline straight to pop’s heart. The London-based musician makes genre-mashing songs that crackle with the torturous thrill of heartbreak, self-discovery and new romance. Her disparate musical and lyrical ideas fuse together to form her self-taught songwriting ability. 21-year-old Alessi is a sly, acerbic new voice in pop, a self-made star with plenty of talent to burn.
