Harry Styles songwriter Mitch Rowland releases his debut single "Come June"
The touring guitarist and co-writer for Harry Styles has released his debut single, "Come June", alongside news of a forthcoming eponymous album.
LA-based musician Mitch Rowland announced his debut album, alongside releasing the title-track. The idea of the album first began to take shape back in 2019. The title track, “Come June”, was the first to be demoed, and then set aside for many months while he was on tour with Styles.
“We were near the end of making this album, and this song came back to me,” recalls Rowland. “It wasn’t part of the plan because of how it was originally recorded with harder drums and bigger guitars - I never pictured it with the rest of the songs. But after some re- approaching and re-recording everything, this song started to mean something again. I guess you could say this is a song for Sarah.”
“Come June” was produced and mixed by Rob Schnapf, who also played guitar alongside Mitch Rowland, and engineered by Matt Schuessler. Keyboards by Jerry Borgé and bass by Matt Schuessler.
Rowland came to Los Angeles in 2013 by way of Ohio. In 2016 he was working as a dishwasher at a pizza joint and on the verge of giving up his dream of working in music. Just as that critical moment was upon him, he was given the chance to try his hand at writing with Harry Styles on his self-titled debut. This collaboration ended up creatively and personally transformational, yielding many celebrated hits such as “Meet Me In The Hallway”, “Watermelon Sugar” and “Golden".
As well as being Harry Styles' touring guitarist, Rowland co-wrote nine out of ten songs on Styles' self-titled debut album and six tracks from his most recent album, Harry's House.
Tracklist:
1. Bluebells
2. Shadow Range
3. See The Way You Roll
