Rosanna Speaks About Play

Rosanna sent this letter about Play's reunion and her decision to go solo:

Hello All You Wonderful PlayMania Readers!

I've understood theres been quite a lot of confusion out here these last couple of days.

I feel like I want to say a few words and try to clear things up regarding the reason why I choose not to continue working with the group this year. Play was an amazing journey and I have the best memories from our Play times.

I've been through so much with these girls right by my side and they will always mean alot to me.

These last couple of years I've written a lot of songs on my own.

These songs are telling the stories about all that has been and about my hopes and my dreams for the future.

My main aim and dream today is to let these songs see the light of day and get them released and with a little luck they soon will.

I don't wanna be a modest person so this is what I need to do.

I need to at least try to walk that line and this is what I would have told you to do, if you would have asked me.

I'm so proud of the fact that I've been a part of Play and I'm proud of having people like you supporting us.

Let's all continue to support Fanny, Janet, Anna, Sanne and Anais in their future projects and wish them the very best of luck.

Cause I know that I will!

Love
Rosannax

"I love pop music and I'm not afraid to say that."

Robpop from DontStopThePop not only has a review up from Rosanna's show last night, he also did a wonderful interview with her! She speaks a lot about Play among many other topics regarding her music. It's a great and lengthy interview, so make sure to check it out!

Rosanna performed in London last night as part of Gold Dust at Hoxton Square. With no sign of nerves, she belted out a succession of songs that went down rather well. London audiences can be tough but by the time she was into the amazing songs Gameboy and Runaway, heads started nodding and a few arms were flapping in the wind. Especially at the back. With all eyes on Rosanna, she rocked the place like a queen conquering a rival state. A great live debut. A few hours beforehand, I met up with her to chat about everything from the the current album, the importance of the moon to her songwriting and of course Play. As you'll see, Rosanna absolutely celebrates pop. It is an integral part of work and creativity. Which of course is absolutely fabulous. Whatismore, it is fascinating to understand the journey of Rosanna as she emerges as a singer intent on producing kind of super pop that is all hers and indeed growing up to be an artist. And, a bloody good one at that! I suppose what I'm getting at its great to see Rosanna as an artist extremely proud of her pop routes and construct pop songs as a solo artist that are so good it hurts.

Don't Stop the Pop

Robpop from DontStopThePop is going to see Rosanna tonight! I'm not sure of the time difference in London, so it's possible the show has gone on already. Hopefully he will write a review about it. It'll be great to hear from someone who has been able to go and see one of the girls live post-Play!

Rosie will be live tonight. I will be there. The rather good pop songstress has just uploaded a batch of new songs on her myspace (Runaway is beyond good while Attack is very tasty). It all happens at 9 pm at Hoxton Bar and Kitchen on Hoxton Square. Tonight. Yes, tonight! I can't wait...

Don't forget to check out his blog! Thanks Fredrik for the info!
