More of the Same Depths
My review of Baby Rose’s first album (here) made the attempt to describe her unique vocal as ‘resonant, warbling vocal depths’ and I am happy with that – happy too that it's the defining quality of this subsequent release. That said, I’ll add these vocal descriptions from the bandcamp page for this album – ‘uniquely rich voice’ and ‘deep expressive contralto’ – as well as this biographical observation about her ‘being bullied for her lower vocal register throughout her childhood and teen years’ because all of this focuses on the innate talent she brings to the music: especially in the triumph over that childhood experience. It is again enhanced with soulful and jazzy backdrops, all heavily thundered by deep bass lines, as well as the hip-hop tropes here and there. It is both funky and soothing. Going to the bandcamp page here will allow you to listen to the music and read more of the background story. This is an album I have already returned to again and again.
A perfect sample of the pure vocal impact is Stop the Bleeding - with a peculiar James Bond movie score feel...
