Undoubtedly one of the decade’s most striking voices, Baby Rose makes an explosive return today by announcing her new project ‘Slow Burn’ produced by BADBADNOTGOOD that is slated to release on April 12th via Secretly Canadian. In celebration, she shares the tantalizing first track from the project ‘One Last Dance’ accompanied by a heartfelt visual that chronicles the making of this new work directed by Sylvain Chaussée. This unparalleled collaboration and riveting body of work will undeniably establish Rose as a major force in music that is well on her way to becoming a legacy art.
Slow Burn will see Rose stepping into her rightful place within the sonic realm of alternative music with songs rooted in psych rock, country, Americana and beyond, sounds that originated from the Black community and capture a very natural arrival for the young artist. The union between Rose and BADBADNOTGOOD resembles the spirit of historic collaborations from the past that shaped the trajectory of music such as that between the legendary Aretha Franklin and Muscle Shoals, an era that has proven foundational for Rose. Part of a body of work that was born from a genuine period of deep self realization and personal growth for Rose that is Slow Burn, the first offering “One Last Dance” is lined with immense vulnerability, which has long been a signature for Rose, and it signifies a visceral moment of release and liberation with a breathtaking country flair. The visual captures the magic that was alive in the studio session that produced this new work amongst Rose and the members of BADBADNOTGOOD.

BABY ROSE ON ‘ONE LAST DANCE’:
“BADBADNOTGOOD and I recorded this song on the day we met, just as evening approached. I asked for one more, a country song, and when the chords came, I sang from the heart without needing to write the words down. ‘One Last Dance’ is important to me because it reflects my feelings of longing and love for someone who sees me as a villain in their story. I used to blame them too, but with time, realized where I was wrong and ultimately hoped for a chance to make it right. There’s a strong part of me that wishes we could try again, pretend it never fell apart, even while knowing it will never be the same. The longing is less about the person and more about the feelings behind the memories we shared. A true testament to the growing pains in life, the music is a sweet underscore of a longing, pride-less goodbye.”
