The L.A. songwriter — and Harry Styles’ guitarist — talks his debut album, fatherhood, and his friendship with Harry.
Over breakfast at a downtown Brooklyn cafe, Mitch Rowland muses about some of the kismet of his life. The 35-year-old musician, who might be best known for being Harry Styles’ trusted collaborator, has been thinking about it in the afterglow of releasing his first solo album,, in early October. As he picks at a fruit bowl and downs black coffee, it’s hard to not think about the timing of it all. “That's kind of scary how life comes down to these tiny little timings,” he says.
For Rowland, meeting Nasci on that day kicked off a series of whirlwind events in his life — and retelling it leads him to order more black coffee in his soft-spoken voice at the Brooklyn cafe. “I was his first friend too, but if he had not been there in that moment, I’d probably still be scooping ice cream at Jeni’s in the North Market .”
“Some songs happen in a day, some happen in a year. Same for ‘Watermelon Sugar.’ We carried it around. By the end, it had all this lint and sh*t from living in our pockets.” Rowland jokes that the album is already a success because it didn’t get leaked by his nanny. But jokes aside,is a delicate, pared-down record and that’s exactly what Rowland wanted. His fuel was “anti-production,” a sort of antithesis to the hit-making of “Watermelon Sugar” because, as he notes, “How can you do it again?” In lockdown, he wanted to make a song a week and then it slowly unfurled.
