Slinking out of the silky darkness of the midnight hour towards the blissed
out champagne pinks and purples of twilight, in 2021Angus Stone returns with his
beloved, intrepid DOPE LEMON project.
For his third heavy thinking Lemon album, Stone steps away from the observatory
of space from his earlier records and towards something glitzier and glammier
but no less thoughtful. This time, it’s all about true love, manifesting the
bright silver clouds that only exist in your deepest dreams, meeting that dream
girl you thought was a figment of your imagination.
The Rose Pink Cadillac has arrived right on time, and there’s a ticket in
your hot little hands to jump in and go for a ride. Far from a retread of his
past lives—although, no doubt, the rich waters of 2019’s Smooth Big Cat and
2016’s Honey Bones are still ripe for exploration—this year sees Stone
taking a running leap into the warm lagunas and restorative hot springs of
glittering, gorgeous new love.
Rose Pink Cadillac was written and recorded by Stone under the spectre of global
turmoil. Its sun kissed, unabashedly romantic outlook persists in spite of that:
this is a paean to the spell that love puts us all under at one point or
another, and an appeal to try and find that rarest of feelings even in times of
strife. This is a record to put on with your loved ones, to let envelop and
overtake you with its wash of feeling. There’s a seat for all of us in the
Rose Pink Cadillac.
