“Sparkle Lane is a street in England where my grandmother lived,” Rogers explains. “The concrete was mixed with pieces of broken glass, so when I was a kid and I’d go to my grandmother’s house in the evening, the street would always look like it was sparkling. That’s how life felt to me as a kid.”

Drawing from an endless, eclectic library of musical influences and her own colorful, if sometimes quirky, dark, life experience, her songs relate heartache, romance and sorrow, to licorice, viruses and engines.
