Rowland released his first album Come June at the end of 2023 to critical acclaim and chart-topping debuts, as the first signee to his collaborator, co-writer and friend Harry Styles’ Erskine Records/Giant Music. Since then, he has performed sold-out shows across the U.S., played to crowds of 80k+ internationally, relocated to the British countryside with his growing family, and now prepares to release his new album. Whistling Pie was once again made with producer and multi-instrumentalist Rob Schnapf (Beck, Elliott Smith), but this time at the iconic Rockfield Studios in Wales, which has hosted everyone from Oasis to Coldplay to Iggy Pop to Black Sabbath and was the primary studio for Queen’s recording of “Bohemian Rhapsody.”

Whistling Pie finds Rowland capturing life’s little moments before they escape their grasp.When he started working on the record, Rowland worried about a sophomore slump and wondered if it was even possible to crank out an album while tending to a family both at home and on the road. “Everyone has their whole life to make their first record. While I was making my second, it felt like time was slipping away.” But watching his kids grow had the opposite effect; their constant transformation forced him to transform his approach to music making. Procrastination wasn’t an option. Going slow, as he had on his first record, wasn’t either. “Being a dad makes me feel like the time is now.” Whistling Pie digs its heels into the present, capturing flickering moments before they fade.
