Irish singer-songwriter Rosie Carney returns with her fourth studio album, ‘Doomsday… Don’t Leave Me Here,’ out now via Ultra Records. The record marks a bold shift for the Hampshire-born, Ireland-based artist, expanding her intimate songwriting into a layered sonic landscape shaped by shoegaze, alt-pop, and electronic textures.
Carney co-wrote and co-produced the album with Ross MacDonald of The 1975 and producer Ed Thomas, with mixing by Jonathan Gilmore. The project builds on the foundations of her earlier releases including ‘Bare’ (2019), her full-length reinterpretation of Radiohead’s ‘The Bends’ (2020), and the rock-leaning ‘i wanna feel happy’ (2022). Across months of sessions in London, the collaborators constructed a vivid sound world that frames themes of nostalgia, grief, existential dread, and complicated love.
“Although the songs are essentially bigger and louder, they feel almost more personal and more intimate than anything I’ve created before,” Carney says. “The bigger sound worked as a shield while I was writing. It felt safer to dig deep and explore themes of grief, heartache and isolation. This album is like a body of armour, and the softness lives protected within it.”
The focus track “Down” arrives alongside previously released singles “Sixteen,” “The Evidence,” “In My Blue,” “Fragile Fantasy,” and “Here,” each offering a glimpse into the album’s evolving sonic palette. Together, the songs form a powerful new chapter for Carney, capturing a dreamlike atmosphere where beauty and unease exist side by side.
