"Crafting her own mélange of sounds with her band The Dead Language, Rose doesn’t conform to any particular sights or sound on Eyes of Glass, produced by Yves Rothman. Eyes of Glass is walk on the wilder, and sentimental, sides of Rose’s life over the past few years."
American Songwriter

"'Faithful' doubles down on the dark and electric energy of her earlier track while amplifying its focus on pop hooks, seemingly documenting a night out in LA as directed by David Lynch."
FLOOD Magazine

"Dark, clattering, noisy"
Revolver

"With the metal scrapes still ringing in our ears, the New York-based multi-hyphenate slows it down — and induces auditory whiplash in the process — with her elegant new single, 'Angel' [...] Her warm, folksy croon swells into a room-filling climax, reminiscent of an impassioned prayer or sermon."
PAPER

“Rose combined the poetic gifts of Patti Smith with a powerful voice reminiscent of Lady Gaga. There’s nothing muddled about her future, she’s on her way to stardom.”
The Line of Best Fit

"Dark, intense, and synthy [...] a great vehicle for Stella Rose's smoky vocals"
Brooklyn Vegan

"Passionate and dissolute, 'Muddled Man' recalls Nick Cave at his Biblical best"
Clash - Track of the Day

Today, ahead of the release of her EP, Hollybaby, NYC based rising singer-songwriter, Stella Rose, is sharing the video for the EP's final track, "Drugstore Romeo."

The writing process for Hollybaby saw Stella Rose differ from familiarity. Not only did she shift from her native New York to Los Angeles to complete her home recorded demos, she also adopted a more urgent style of writing, embracing time constraints and challenging herself to give her original ideas a “second life”.

Each day reached 100+ degrees as Hollybaby came together during the hottest week of the summer in LA. Both Stella Rose and her producer Yves fed off that uncomfortable heat in the studio, culminating in her loudest, rawest and arguably most entrancing material to date. 

2024 has been a year of growth and transformation for Stella Rose, seeing her grow into an international fashion muse for houses like Ann D, Celine and EDR. She is receiving the full embrace of the booming underground scene in New York City, having recently performed at the very first show at the buzzy Hancock, frequented by Pretty Sick and The Dare. Having recently wrapped up a successful run of UK/EU tour dates with A Place To Bury Strangers, Stella Rose embarks on her latest chapter with the wind firmly in her sails.

With influences like Patti Smith, PJ Harvey, and evidently, her father Dave Gahan of Depeche Mode, Stella Rose’s unapologetically expressive and alluring persona and lyrics are sure to captivate.

The music video for "Drugstore Romeo" is out now. Hollybaby EP is due for release this Friday December 13th via KRO Records.

Stella Rose Bio:

Stella Rose introduces fragments of her debut album Eyes of Glass (to be released May 19th) on the heels of two well-received singles. "Muddled Man" and "Angel" established Stella Rose as a poetic force and powerful singer. "Passionate and dissolute, ‘Muddled Man’ recalls Nick Cave at his Biblical best" (Clash). Its opposing reflection, "Angel," with "warm, folksy croon swells into a room-filling climax" (Paper Magazine).  

Eyes of Glass, recorded in Los Angeles and produced by Yves Rothman, combines the poetic soul of Stella Rose’s lyrics with the serpentine sound she and Rothman have developed. Earning its place feeling less like a descendant of what has come before, than a piece in conversation with its artistic predecessors.  

Nothing outweighs the significance of creating her work. "At the end of the day, I’m a writer," she says. "It’s the only way for me to process my feelings, and when I write I might not understand the meaning or gravity of my words but at some point later they’ll explain where I was and how I’ve grown. That’s how I make music: I collect things over time."

Whether they’re written in fresh ink or are years old, you can be sure Stella Rose has found just the right way to use them to make an unforgettable statement that feels both of the moment yet timeless. "The best work I do," she says, "always resonates now."

In addition to earning praise for her work from outlets including Rolling Stone UK, Brooklyn Vegan, Paper, Clash, CREEM, and NME, she’s been embraced by like-minded artists, appearing in Hedi Slimane’Dairies, the Buffalo Hotel Chelsea Issue 16 photographed by Richard Kern, walking in the Enfants Riches  Deprims show during Paris Fashion Week, and shooting major features for magazines including Pop and Downtown Magazine

The rising songstress has prevailed as a force to be reckoned with in New York City’s live space, creating an underground scene reminiscent of Patti Smith, Stella Rose will be making her way to the mainstage, however, in April when she opens for Depeche Mode at Madison Square Garden.
