Rose Betts - There Is No Ship (2025)

Across There Is No Ship, Rose captures an unbridled spirit while layering in artful and tasteful alt-pop tones. Not only is she the sole writer on the project, but she also takes on co-production, further solidifying her role as a dynamic force.

Rose adds, “My second album, ‘There Is No Ship’ is a kind of love letter to what formed the bones of me. From the dewy skies and water seeped hues of English fields… to my parents and their parents and the eternity of lives lived that flow through my veins. It took leaving my homeland to feel the potency of where and what I come from, and to begin to understand how bound I am to all of it.”

In the summer of 2023, Rose retreated to a cabin in Crestline, California, where walks around Lake Gregory helped clear creative blocks and inspire the first songs for the album, including “Running.”

Rose reflects on the emotional impact of leaving her homeland while discussing “Running,” saying, “Sometimes I feel like leaving my homeland split me apart. I never consulted my feet about the trip, maybe they had other plans for us. Maybe they got lost along the way or chose another path. Maybe they chose a better one!”
