Rosie Carney is back with “Fragile Fantasy” her second single of 2025 co-produced by Ross MacDonald of The 1975 and Ed Thomas (FKA twigs, Cat Burns, Amaarae). It follows the recent release of “Here” which marked Carney’s first new music since her 2022 acclaimed sophomore record, i wanna feel happy and unveiled a dramatic sonic evolution for the artist.

“I wrote Fragile Fantasy when I began to reminisce about my childhood – something I often find myself pining for,” says Carney. “My perspective of the world came from a place fuelled totally by my imagination to the extent that I had a really hard time accepting any reality outside of this growing up. I’ll never forget the first time I felt genuinely seen outside of my own family – I absolutely believed that I was a unicorn to the point that I stopped paying attention in class and a teacher of mine ended up holding me back after one day to say that she was also a unicorn but that it was important that we learn how to be humans in this life. My response to her was “I knew it” and went on to be a pretty good student all because she instilled that belief in me.”

Working closely with MacDonald and Thomas over months of sessions in London, Carney built a sonic world that pulls from shoegaze, alt-pop, and electronic textures, while remaining rooted in the raw emotional honesty that has defined her songwriting.

“Fragile Fantasy” which was mixed by Jonathan Gilmore (The 1975, Beabadoobee, Biffy Clyro) is the first track of a bigger body of work to follow on soon to be announced label cool0nline.
