Rowlene shared the release on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/\">Instagram<\/a> with a message about the album\u2019s personal impact.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis project has held me together, broken me open, and helped me heal.

Rowlene has described the album as shaped by love, vulnerability, and personal change, with the creative process aiding her journey toward greater clarity.<\/p>\n<p>The partnership highlights the collaborative nature of the project, which Rowlene says is deeply connected to her own experiences rather than relying solely on production or commercial appeal.<\/p>\n<h2>Album Details and Career Context<\/h2>\n<p>Some Strings Attached will be Rowlene\u2019s second full-length studio album, following her 2020 debut <strong>11:11<\/strong>. The years between releases included the 2025 EP <strong>Moments After<\/strong>, which further established her reflective R&amp;B style and emotional storytelling.<\/p>\n<p>The album\u2019s title, Some Strings Attached, adds an additional layer to its themes of connection and complexity. The 10-track project is scheduled for release on 12 August 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Rowlene drops &#8216;Bittersweet&#8217; with IAN LOVLY as the last preview of her
