Kid Bookie returns with “Rose McGowan,” a new single created in collaboration with Rose McGowan. The track grew from an idea Bookie began shaping during a period of creative focus, sharing early fragments online before McGowan responded directly. What followed developed into a collaboration rooted in shared values, artistic alignment, and mutual respect rather than spectacle or provocation.
“In music culture, using a person’s name of relevance as a title track seems to be a prospect that garners attention or a marketing move,” Bookie explains. “I wanted to bring light to a special name, Rose McGowan… someone who deserves to be highlighted as a potential beacon of changing the world to a large or small degree.” He adds, “We must follow the trail of the mavericks, the transgressors… What better way than to highlight someone of the zeitgeist who did that.”
McGowan describes the collaboration as instinctive and immediate. “The moment I heard him, I knew our collaboration would be electric,” she says. “After years of silence, I arrived in South London with no lyrics… I wrote my first lyrics in six years.” The finished track brings together Bookie’s volatile, shape-shifting sound and McGowan’s commanding presence, landing as a statement driven by intent rather than posture.
