Leveling Up With R&B Up-And-Comer of the Month Baby Rose: ‘I Love This Whole Freaky Journey I’m On’

Between a Grammy win, new album Yearnalism & opening for Olivia Dean, it’s been a whirlwind year for the rising artist.

Baby Rose, a rising R&B star, has had a whirlwind year, with her latest album Yearnalism receiving critical acclaim and her performances at prestigious venues. Born and raised in Washington D.C. and Fayetteville, North Carolina, Rose was inspired by Amy Winehouse's music and its contralto voice, as well as Winehouse's ability to blend various genres like jazz, gospel, and rock.

Rose's collaboration with Leon Thomas on Yearnalism resulted in a diverse album that explores themes of desire, self-love, and redemption. Rose's recent performances at Blue Note clubs in Los Angeles and New York, as well as her tour supporting Harry Styles, showcase her growth as an artist.
