Rona Mac unveils heartfelt new album ‘Honeymilk & Heavy Weather’

Since making her debut in 2020, Rona Mac has turned the heads of thousands of listeners across the nation whilst drumming up support from the likes of BBC Radio 1 and BBC 6 Music. Fresh off the back of supporting the likes of Bess Atwell, Katie J Pearson and Billie Marten, she unveils her latest album ‘Honeymilk and Heavy Weather’.

Oozing out of the soundwaves, the album blends gentle melodies with a cathartic pop-folk sentiment to forge a body of work that feels as poignant as it does sincere. Cutting each groove with a mature sense of creative finesse, the album finds itself scattered with a selection of field recordings alongside delicate rhythms and poetic lyricism. Inspired by love and friendship, the album also deals with grief. Written during one of the hardest periods of Rona’s life, the album features voice recordings of a dear, late friend who was close to the heart of Rona.

Speaking about the powerful nature of the project, Mac explains This album is also tied to some incredible friendships. We shared the very best and worst together and learnt about the furthest corners of platonic love and loss, as we have grieved many people in recent years. I have reached deeply into the veins of these shared feelings: the beauty in the light and the grime of the darkness; the rugged joy of fireside howling and swimming in your clothes; self-destruction and group repair; blurred lines of love and who cares anyway; an immeasurable amount of raucous joy; of listening to sad songs together and feeling the weight lift.”
