Carly Rose - WILD (2020)

LA-hailed indie-pop singer Carly Rose has dropped her long-awaited debut EP “Wild” today and we can’t get enough. Having kicked off the summer with her repeat button-breaking tune “twentyone”, Rose has been spending some time in quarantine reflecting on life, leading her to record her latest tune “Song Of The Summer”. With rhythmic drums and melodic guitars, Rose opens up about young love with evocative and relatable lyricism.

Speaking on the release of her debut EP, Rose said, “This EP is so important to me. This collection of songs largely examines the theme of substance abuse that has plagued many of my most coveted relationships. Being a witness to more self-destructive behaviour than I can keep track of from the ones I have loved and many who I have lost led me to put all that confusion, frustration, and heartache into The Wild EP. In many ways, I see this body of work as my way of making peace with the years of my life these songs pull from. That’s why it’s not an EP filled with sad piano ballads. It’s the songs you listen to when you realise how fucking badass it is when you are able to come out on the other side of hardship.”

Dropping the video to her latest single “Wild” today, Rose takes us through a piano-led ballad teaming up with singer Goody Grace for a romantic song that will leave you in your feels. Inspired by blockbuster hit A Star is Born, the tune weaves in the themes of a passionate relationship with thunderous orchestral drums and strings, giving us “Young and Beautiful” vibes. We caught up with the star talking early beginnings, the new EP and what’s next.
