Emily Rose - Welcome to Motherhood (2025)

The 12-track album chronicles Rose’s personal journey as a young working mother, filled with the wonderful and challenging moments young parents face and wrapped in classic country and country/pop-infused melodies. Produced by Rose, Gideon Klein and Gabriel Klein, Welcome to Motherhood features tracks co-written by Rose with writers including Tori Tullier, Melissa Fuller, Kate Malone, Madeline Stone, Sam Lorber and Debbie Hupp, whose own personal experiences as a mother and artist inspired some of the songs on this collection.

“No one can prepare a person for the way they will feel the moment they lay eyes on their firstborn child. In a matter of seconds, your world is turned upside down and your perspective changes—along with your beliefs and your priorities,” says Rose. “For the longest time, I thought that becoming a mother would be the death of my music career. I was wrong. If anything, it gave me purpose, it gave me something to say, and it shaped me and my music.

“My debut album Welcome to Motherhood is a collection of my most honest thoughts, my experiences, my doubts, my questions, my insecurities; the songs on the album reflect my story, but they also reflect other people’s stories, too,” she continues. “That is my aim with this album: start the right conversations, ask the questions, help other women feel seen and heard, and shed some light on all the things motherhood and being a new mom. My biggest hope is that the listener finds a little bit of themselves in the songs on this album.”
