Caroline Elizabeth Rose[1] (born October 19, 1989) is an American singer, songwriter, musician and producer. After releasing two records of folk and country-inspired music, they released a pop-rock album Loner in 2018. Superstar was released on March 6, 2020.[2] Their most recent album, The Art of Forgetting, was released on March 24, 2023.

Early life

Born in 1989 in Long Island, Rose grew up in Center Moriches, New York.[3][4] The daughter of two artists, Rose began writing songs and poems at age 13.[5] Rose attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where they graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.[6][7]

Career

In 2012, Rose and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jer Coons launched a Kickstarter to fund the production of Rose's first album America Religious.[8] The album, blending American folk music, country, and rockabilly styles was self-published later that year. Two years later, Rose released their first nationally distributed album, I Will Not Be Afraid on Little Hi! Records. Like the first album, it was produced with Jer Coons and featured music in a variety of Americana musical styles, including two songs previously released on America Religious.[9]

Following the release of I Will Not Be Afraid, Rose took an extended hiatus from touring and releasing new material, while they explored new musical directions that would broaden their sound. After three years, numerous personnel changes, a signing to Mom + Pop Music, and a switch to New West Records, Rose released their third album.[10] The new album, Loner, was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler of The Bees,[11] and represented a radical shift away from the musical style of their previous work, blending pop and alternative rock elements, and incorporating prominent synthesizers throughout. Notably, this album also saw a change in lyrical tone, incorporating a number of overtly humorous, sarcastic, and satirical songs.[12] Although Rose played most of the instruments on the album, they formed a new band to perform on tour.

Prior to Loner's release, Rose released "Money" and "Soul No. 5" with accompanying music videos.[13][14] Rose released a music video for "Jeannie Becomes a Mom" on October 17, 2018. The video, which was directed by Amanda Speva, features Abby Pierce as the titular character, depicting Jeannie moving into a new home, performing a dance routine with the movers, and preparing a rainbow Jell-O cake. The song was ranked the fifteenth-best single of the year by National Public Radio.[15]

On January 7, 2020, Rose announced a new album called Superstar, releasing a single and a music video for the song "Feel The Way I Want".[16] The video was shot on an iPhone over the course of an 11-day roadtrip from Hollywood, California to Hollywood, Florida, documenting the protagonist's journey after they travel to the wrong Hollywood for an audition.[17] According to Rose, the album is a "cinematic pop album that tells a story of someone who leaves behind everything they know and love in search for something bigger and more glamorous. It's a story about losing yourself but also finding the brazen self-confidence to follow a dream."[18] The album Superstar was released on March 6, 2020,[19][20] and Caroline Rose made their television debut on February 24, 2020 performing "Feel The Way I Want" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.[21]

Personal life

Rose uses they/them, she/her, and it/its pronouns[22] and identifies as queer.[23] They live in Austin, Texas.[24]
