BABY ROSE RELEASES HIGHLY-ANTICIPATED NEW ALBUM YEARNALISM

Today, undoubtedly one of the decade’s most striking voices, Grammy Award-winning artist Baby Rose releases her highly anticipated new album YEARNALISM via Secretly Canadian. In celebration, Rose shares the music video for her track “Better,” directed by Amaya Segura, and partners with Dropbox to give fans an inside look at the collaborative creative process behind the album. The striking body of work sees Rose arrive in her finest, most realized form as a woman and artist who has poured endlessly into her craft. It’s a moving snapshot of Rose’s own personal journey through sorrow and hardship for a striking self-study that evokes a beautiful sentiment of hope and strength.  Sonically, the album harkens back to an era that came before her and simultaneously is lined with her signature style that staddles multiple sonic realms and is carried through with her larger-than-life voice.

Soaring with breathtaking collaborations with Leon Thomas and Elmiene, YEARNALISM ushers in a new chapter for Rose that carries through her singular sound with a newly found evolution from a renewed sense of self. With a tone that feels lived-in and timeless, Rose pulls from soul, gospel, jazz, rock and R&B, infused with the spirits of the greats that defined the Muscle Shoals era and pivotal female artists that changed the face of music such as Etta James, Nina Simone, Janis Joplin and more, while grounding her sound firmly in the present. Her music is intimate and cinematic, the kind that lingers long after the last note fades. The album was executive produced by longtime collaboration Biako alongside Rose who also soared as a producer and foremost songwriter on the album.

Even before its release, YEARNALISM has received large critical acclaim lauded by NPR, The New York Times, Essence, Vibe, BET, Billboard, COLORS, Hypebeast, Okayplayer, Rolling Stone en Español, HOLA!, MTV Latin America and more. NPR recently named “Friends Again” as one of the Year’s Best Songs (So Far) and YAMS Magazine proclaimed the album is “one of the albums of the year.”

Earlier this year, Rose won her first Grammy Award for her contribution to Leon’s MUTT album that won Best R&B Album and soon after saw the duo reunite again on Rose’s lead track “Friends Again,” which became a commercial and critical triumph as her most successful release amassing over 15 million total global streams to date. Most recently, Olivia Dean announced that Rose would join her on her colossal US headlining The Art of Loving Tour that kicks off today in San Francisco, CA – easily making it one the year’s most in demand tours. The trek will see two of music’s most striking voices on the same stage for an unparalleled musical experience.

Additionally, Baby Rose and Dropbox will unveil an exclusive video and folder drop on July 23rd featuring never-before-seen footage and creative materials from the making of YEARNALISM and the “Better” music video, premiering across Baby Rose and Dropbox’s social channels.
