History

Born in 1989 in Long Island, Rose grew up in Center Moriches, New York.[3][4] The daughter of two artists, Rose began writing songs and poems at age 13.[5] Rose attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.[6][7]

In 2012, a 22-year-old Caroline Rose and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jer Coons launched a Kickstarter to fund the production of a Rose's first album, America Religious. The campaign exceeded its goal of $8000, eventually raising $10,115.[8] The album, blending American folk music, country, and rockabilly styles was self-published later that year. Two years later, Rose released her first nationally distributed album, I Will Not Be Afraid on Little Hi! Records. Like the first album, it was produced with Jer Coons and featured music in a variety of Americana musical styles, including two songs previously released on America Religious.[9]

Following the release of I Will Not Be Afraid, Rose took an extended hiatus from touring and releasing new material, while she explored new musical directions that would broaden her sound. After three years, numerous personnel changes, and a switch to New West Records, Rose released her third album.[10] The new album, Loner, was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler,[11] and represented a radical shift away from the musical style of her previous work, blending pop and alternative rock elements, and incorporating prominent synthesizers throughout. Notably, this album also saw a change in lyrical tone, incorporating a number of overtly humorous, sarcastic, and satirical songs.[12] Although Rose played most of the instruments on the album, she formed a new band to perform on tour.

On January 7, 2020, Rose announced a new album called Superstar, releasing a single and a music video for the song "Feel The Way I Want".[13] The single was accompanied by a video, shot entirely on the iPhone.[14] According to Rose, the album is a "cinematic pop album that tells a story of someone who leaves behind everything they (gen neutral) know and love in search for something bigger and more glamorous. It’s a story about losing yourself but also finding the brazen self-confidence to follow a dream."[15] The album Superstar was released on March 6, 2020,[16][17] Caroline Rose made her television debut on February 24, 2020 performing "Feel The Way I Want" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.[18]
