English singer/songwriter Rose Elinor Dougall hit the jackpot with her first band, the girl-group fixated Pipettes, who signed to a major label and toured the world in the late 2000s. After striking out on her own, she recorded a handful of singles and an album before being swept up in Mark Ronson's world, first as a contributor to 2010's Record Collection, then for a couple years as a member of his live band. After this almost decade-long whirlwind, Dougall settled down to crafting a solo career based on her emotionally powerful songs and haunting vocals, making a strong second impression with her synth-based Stellular in 2017, then expanding her sound in more traditional adult pop realms on 2019's A New Illusion.
