New album stillness, stop: you have a right to remember out January 26th via 42 Records

"Stark emotional honesty, intricate melodic lines and instrumentation that interweaves with delicate poignancy." - The Line Of Best Fit

“Adele has an unignorable presence on stage, switching imperceptibly between vulnerable and formidable, the inner and the outer.” - Under The Radar

"Any Other is an international artist in every sense, not just in a literal capacity, but in their ability to chart human experience across foreign waters, demarcating losses that we recognise as our own. We should cherish them.” - Drowned in Sound

Any Other is the project of Italian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Adele Altro (they / them). On January 26th, Any Other is set to release their third studio album, stillness, stop: you have a right to remember via 42 Records.

For fans of artists like Dirty Projectors, Mitski, and Sufjan Stevens, stillness, stop: you have a right to remember beautifully weaves together acoustic and electronic instrumentation, creating a warm and immersive sonic experience that explores themes of self-discovery, family, relationships, and gender identity.

Speaking about the album, Adele shared, "I tried to be as honest as possible in writing about my emotions and also be like: I'm not perfect, I can be a mess too! And I think that is precious because when I encounter this approach in other artists' music, I feel less alone. So I hope this record can make other people feel less alone too."

The album's title reflects Adele’s journey of recollecting memories that were lost due to traumatic experiences in life. “I feel like erasing memories served me somehow, but I also think that at some point I needed to take some time for myself to remember. I had the right to remember!” says Adele. “What happened in my life shaped me as a person – and I’m not saying I’m grateful everything happened, but I need to remind myself that I am the person who went through it and overcame it.”

Lead single ‘Awful Thread’ is a raw and honest reflection on Adele’s relationship with their parents. “It’s about my realisation that they haven’t been good parents, let’s say, most of the time,” shares Adele. “They’ve made me feel out of place for a really long time – so now I’m going through this phase of healthy-ish anger in which I’m like “hey you’ve been actually lucky to have me as a son/daughter/whatever and you still managed to fuck it up””.

The album was recorded in January 2023 in a studio in Milan, Italy, by Adele Altro and co-produced with their best friend Marco Giudici, a significant step in their creative journey. “I’ve always been pretty controlling of the production process with my music, and as small as it sounds, to me it was a pretty big thing to open up and trust somebody else on this. It challenged me but has also helped me a lot!” says Adele, of the process.

stillness, stop: you have a right to remember is a testament to Any Other's growth as an artist, both musically and personally. It's an album that invites listeners to embrace their own complexities and emotions, finding solace and strength in the shared human experience.
