Rosé is a darling member of the most popular K-pop girl group, BLACKPINK, and now embarks on her solo career by releasing her maiden full-length album titled “rosie“. Release plans are on for December 6, 2024, under the banner of The Black Label/Atlantic Records, a follow-through to a milestone in her career that marked the growth of an artist.
After the success of her single album in 2021 called “R,” which included the hit track “On The Ground,” this new album also marks the growth period for Rosé herself during the last four years. As she identified, the title is much more personal, since it is the name that close friends and family use to refer to her. With this personal title, she wants to allow listeners closer to her and give them a sneak peek into her life.
“R” is an album with 12 tracks, a pop-R&B mix, co-written and co-produced by Rosé herself. The album deeply explores the themes of love, self-discovery, and resilience; it is a kind of “journal” since it captures Rosé’s experiences when she had to fight her way in the music world. Moreover, the emotional depth of the album underlines her loneliness, confusion, and partial victories; it discloses a raw and fragile side of the artist.
In a recent interview, Rosé opened up about her creative process, Australian roots, and the duality of her persona. She explains how she toggles between her casual, down-to-earth Australian slang and the polished performances that people go to see at shows. That she was also from Australia served as a major influence on her music, furthering her in staying put on the ground while working out her solo identity.
The collaboration from Rosé, of course, comes with none other than Bruno Mars, which makes for an interesting team on the album and brings global appeal to an already emotionally deep project. So far, the album is likely to range in versatility for Rosé-from highly reflective ballads to upbeat pop anthems, combined, of course, with her emotive vocals.
This is one of the most highly-anticipated solo albums from Rosé since her single “R,” which made her the highest-charting solo K-pop female artist on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. Following “On The Ground” debuting number one on the Billboard Global 200 chart, the expectations for her first full-length album ran high.
