Esther Rose will release Safe 2 Run (versions) on January 9, 2024 via New West Records. The 4-song set was produced and mixed by Ross Farber at Bigtone Records in New Orleans, LA. The EP includes stripped down versions of selections from Esther’s LP Safe to Run, and features appearances by The Deslondes, Bella White, and the Lostines. It also features the brand new song, “Ketamine.”

Rose on Safe 2 Run (versions):

Esther says, “I am in the club standing directly before the solo songwriter on stage, absorbing everything. I think, ‘I live for stripped-down performances. Why don’t I record my own music this way?’ I tapped my musical family; people whose voices bring me home and stoke the fire of my now long-distance relationship with New Orleans. Singing ‘Safe to Run’ with The Deslondes sounds like how a big hug feels. This version of ‘Spider’ with The Lostines is truly haunted. Bella White is twenty-three years old and is perhaps the embodiment of the song ‘Chet Baker.’ Alone at my desk each morning, I have slowly written my next album. Things are getting very interesting. ‘Ketamine’ is a taste of what’s to come.”

Esther Rose will finish off the year with three special holiday concerts with Max Gomez in her new home state of New Mexico and has also announced her first dates of 2024 supporting Chaparelle (the new project from Zella Day, Jesse Woods, and Beau Bedford). Please see live dates below.

Safe 2 Run (versions) will be available digitally on January 9, 2024. Esther Rose’s Safe to Run is also available NOW across streaming platforms, compact disc, as well as a limited & autographed “Bubblegum Pink” color vinyl edition via NEW WEST RECORDS.
