Roxanne de Bastion’s brand new single Erase is set for release on 6th May. Melodic and beautifully sung as ever, with its primal drums and epic, dramatic strings, Erase is darker in tone and delivery than her previous work, showcasing Roxanne’s ambitious new sonic scope. 

Erase can be interpreted both on an interpersonal as well as a political level. The lyrics are a passionate outcry against attempts to rewrite history. Unimpressed with the subjects’ ineptitude and inaction, de Bastion proclaims “you cannot erase it, take it back, extract it from all memory”. 

Already a live favourite, Erase is a statement of intent and an exciting first taste of Roxanne’s collaboration with legendary producer Bernard Butler. On working with the revered guitarist, Roxanne cites the 1960s sensibility of his arrangements as a huge draw creatively. 

About Butler’s production on Erase, she says: “I was blown away when he played me his idea for the string arrangement on this track and was really humbled at how enthusiastic he was about the song. I love listening to those strings, it’s cathartic how they fall and find their way from chaos to calm. I’m so excited to share this track…and there’ll be more to come after that!”
