BABY ROSE – Through And Through – LP – Rose Red Vinyl

LP – Limited EditionRose Red Vinyl.

Baby Rose makes healing music for the aimless and heartbroken. The Grammy-nominated singer-songwriter and producers uniquely rich voice naturally lends itself to her powerful, smoke-filled ballads lamenting lost loves and broken futures. I make music to help myself get through things, she says. The piercing honesty and vulnerability she brings to her lyrics in turn helps others process their feelings and find a place of healing. For Rose, its a journey thats still ongoing.If Im going to leave anything behind, its going to be getting people back to themselves, she says. As I get back to myself, its a constant reset: Remember who you are, remember who you want to be.

You can hear the impact of this approach in Baby Roses upcoming second album, Through and Through. Take the hypnotic Fight Club. Over the tracks simmering bassline and crashing cymbals she declares, I dont need no one else to show me the way. She describes the song as a breaking of the shell. It encourages me to just go for it and not care about what anyone else thinks. Therein lies Baby Roses strength: a determination to live, love, and create on her own terms.

Im not just a singer with a unique voice, she says. Im somebody that has something to say.

In the years since releasing her last album, To Myself, Rose has been painstakingly piecing together its sequel. Started almost immediately after its release, her new body of work finds her in a state of musical and personal transition. Its a subtle merging of new sounds – stirring rock, upbeat R&B, psychedelic funk, pop and soulful ballads – all mastered through analogue tape to make the music feel warmer and all-encompassing. Its also a journey inward as she battles past fear and self-doubt to finally discover – and love – who she is, where she is. Finishing an album with such peace and firm resolution is a first for Rose, but she makes it clear: Shes nowhere near done writing her story.

I think as long as Im being raw and trying to push past my comfort zone, it will feel rewarding, she says. I dont want to be the type that doesnt take risks because Im afraid. I have to trust that as long as the music is honest and innovative, itll be timeless.
