The New Way is the major new collaboration and single from trip-hop cinematics Slowly Rolling Camera and the enchanting Manchester-based vocalist Caoilfhionn Rose.
This collaboration marks a perfect confluence of two extraordinary talents. Slowly Rolling Camera, known for their evocative fusion of cinematic soundscapes, lush textures, and dynamic grooves, comes fresh off the success of their 2024 album Silver Shadow.
Meanwhile, Caoilfhionn Rose (pronounced Keelin Rose), celebrated for her ability to craft otherworldly spaces blending folk, jazz, and electronica, follows her acclaimed album Constellation. Together, they create a soundscape that feels both epic and intimate, offering a blend of sounds that is as powerful as it is nuanced.
The New Way is written by Slowly Rolling Camera and Caoilfhionn Rose
Performed by:
Caoilfhionn Rose – vocals

The New Way delivers a sonic journey rich with charismatic hooks, enchanting vocal lines, and interwoven atmospherics. Slowly Rolling Camera’s intricate rhythms and expansive production provide a textured foundation for Caoilfhionn’s ethereal yet rooted vocal delivery. The result is a track that balances cinematic ambition with meditative stillness, inviting the listener to immerse themselves in its magnificent detail.
From the warmth of sumptuous soundscapes to moments of introspective stillness, the single embodies the best of both artists’ styles. Layers of core piano and synths intertwine with a live rhythm section and saxophone embellishments, pitted against ambient samples and future-forward production techniques. This is music that feels alive, kinetic, and deeply felt—poetry in motion, painting dream-like imagery with every note.
The New Way will be released digitally on 14th Feb 2025
