ICYMI: Miss June announce debut album “Bad Luck Party”

He notes, “the track gets at that feeling of instability in a relationship when there’s full on confusion around who your friends are or who you are… reality runs amok. I started to imagine this full throttle dream sequence in which a young couple bash through a bizarre night. As they find new places, they encounter strangers who at first seem normal become weird and dangerous creep characters… or ENEMIES. I felt like this erratic narrative had a powerful connection with the song – fast and heavy in a super off-kilter way.”

Rosie O’Sullivan New Single

“‘Take Me as I Am’ was written in 2017 a year where I was trying to find acceptance to be myself, not only in personal relationships but also in today’s unfortunate stereotypical society. After losing an incredible amount of weight and drastically changing my image to find acceptance both in my mind and socially, the buzz line. ‘Take Me as I Am’ took over. As humans, all we want in life is to be truly accepted for who we are. Everyone is beautiful…. learn to embrace differences and diversity in our ever-changing world. If people cannot take you as you are…. It’s their own loss!” – Rosie O’Sullivan
