“The young artist is making heads turn across the island and country. She attributes this success to her unique relationship with this province’s music tradition. “I have been a big advocate for promoting Newfoundland and Labrador music, and putting it out in modern and different ways.” — The Racket Rosemary Lawton says "Untamed" is a collection of old traditional songs that tell stories of empowering women in Newfoundland. Each track tells stories of women in atypical gender roles or just taking charge of whatever situation they are being put in during the song. The single "A Man in Love" is no different. It tells the tale of a man who has waited too long and expects too much from his lass, so she bids him farewell. This song fully encompasses the new album in that it is more vocal this time around than from my previous release "Painted Glass" but still has a strong instrumental presence. ALBUM DETAILS: Artist: Rosemary Lawton Album: Untamed (July 3, 2019) Label/Distributor: Citadel House Records Non explicit lyrics - 100% CANCON Produced by: Rosemary Lawton Composer: Traditional Violin and vocals: Rosemary Lawton Guitar: Nick Earle Percussion: Liam Robbins Bass: Tony Batten All songs mixed and mastered by Dean Stairs for the Citadel House ABOUT ROSEMARY LAWTON: Rosemary Lawton, 2019 ECMA Roots/Traditional nominee, 2018 MusicNL Celtic/Traditional and Female Artist of the Year nominee, is an up-and-coming force within the Newfoundland music scene. She is a quadruple threat, being an accomplished songwriter, vocalist, composer, and actress, working with multiple high caliber talent across the island such as; Newfoundland Symphony Orchestra, the MUN chamber Orchestra, The Celtic Fiddlers, and more, as well as an artist in her own right. Rosemary is a multi-award-nominated Newfoundland traditional artist, with formal training in classical violin and has completed her degree in Music Education. She is a passionate advocate of women’s issues and champions the advancement of women in the music industry through her work. Rosemary is helping to preserve Newfoundland’s rich tradition by collecting, recording, and performing Newfoundland traditional music. Her music is a hybrid of both classical and traditional genres. There is an underlying hint of classical influence in her unique arrangements of both traditional songs and her original compositions. Her voice is reminiscent of the high soprano Celtic singing of Ireland but with a punch.
