Anna Howie - Good For Roses Anna Howie

'Good for Roses' is British country singer-songwriter Anna Howie's second studio album. It was recorded at Peter Gabriel's Real World Studios, and produced by Kris Wilkinson Hughes (My Girl the River). Anna initially came to prominence with her debut 'The Friday Night Club' which was born in lockdown, out of online sessions which garnered nearly two million views! As Anna says herself, she accidentally created a community, and she has kept it with her. Anna says of 'Good For Roses', 'This album is a personal one, songs about life-defining moments, good and bad mixed with songs about how I feel a lot of the time about myself and the world. If there is one thing I am sure about now I am older, it is that out of hard times good things come. There is a line in the first track on the album, 'Bring Me Love', 'Shit is good for roses, we just have to hold our noses on the way'. I wanted the title of this album to reflect the struggle and the joy. There is a pink rose outside my kitchen window and, as the rest of the garden dies away and there is frost on the ground, it blooms. I love its resilience'.
