Mitch Rowland unveils the brand new single, "Bluebells"

17 August 2023, 16:31 | Written by Tyler Damara Kelly

Acclaimed LA-based musician and GRAMMY-winning songwriter Mitch Rowland recently announced his debut album Come June, fresh off of touring with his long-time collaborator and bandmate Harry Styles.

Following the release of the album’s first single and title track, Rowland shares the stunning Come June opener “Bluebells.”

“Bluebells” has a special meaning for Rowland. “This was the first song I finished after finding out my wife and I were having a baby,” he says. “We were stranded out in the English countryside for a little while and caught the bluebells blooming during that time. Seeing them is kind of like a wave goodbye to the cold. Quite a sight.”

“Bluebells” was written by Mitch Rowland, produced and mixed by Rob Schnapf and engineered by Matt Schuessler. Rowland performs acoustic and electric guitar, drums, piano and vocals on the track, while Schuessler plays bass and Schnapf contributes keyboards and additional electric guitar.

Rowland came to Los Angeles in 2013 by way of Ohio, where his lifelong obsession with music landed him, with eyes toward a career in music. In 2016, he was working as a dishwasher at a pizza joint and was on the verge of giving up his dream. Just as that critical moment was upon him, he was given the chance to try his hand at writing with Harry Styles for the latter’s self-titled debut. This collaboration was creatively and personally transformational, yielding celebrated hits like “Meet Me In The Hallway”, “Watermelon Sugar” and “Golden,” as well as a place in Styles’ touring band. Here he met his bandmate and future wife, drummer Sarah Jones.

Mitch Rowland’s debut album, Come June, is released on 6 October via Giant Records / Erskine Records, and is available to pre-order at mitchrowland.com.
