“It’s a shitshow. A mockery. A conveyor belt of jokers,” spits Gemma Rogers. The former spoken-word artist has had a busy year giving birth to a daughter and dropping one of the most intriguing punk-pop albums of the century so far. And in the finest punk tradition, she’s also hopping mad about the UK’s dire political situation.
Individuality and the eccentric go hand in hand, and where some will turn their nose up at such actions of originality, the truth is the strange, the unpredictable, and the idiosyncratic will always find favourable smiles because they are true to human nature, they have refused to give in to the ordinary and average conceits, and they prove that there is No Place Like Home for spreading their own gospel on life, and that taking to the streets is a fate they are willing to expand upon.
Gemma Rogers is trying to help us get more out of our lives by telling social media “no” and instead spending time with our friends, family, and looking up at the sky. Tired of seeing the people around her missing out on real-world fun, the London artist values human connection above anything and is on a mission to inspire others to take a liberating break from the invasive world of technology with her new single STOP.
