Key Information
Caroline Elizabeth Rose[1] (born October 19, 1989) is a Grammy-nominated[2] American singer, songwriter, musician and producer. After releasing two records of folk and country-inspired music, she released a pop-rock album Loner in 2018. Superstar was released on March 6, 2020.[3] The Art of Forgetting, was released on March 24, 2023, and her most recent album year of the slug was released on February 7, 2025.[4]
Early life
[edit]Born in 1989 on Long Island, Rose grew up in Center Moriches, New York.[5][6] The daughter of two artists, Rose began writing songs and poems at age 13.[7] Rose attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, where she graduated in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.[8][9]
Career
[edit]In 2012, Rose and producer/multi-instrumentalist Jer Coons launched a Kickstarter to fund the production of Rose's first album America Religious.[10] 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.[11]
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, a signing to Mom + Pop Music, and a switch to New West Records, Rose released her third album.[12] The album, Loner, was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler of The Bees,[13] 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.[14] Although Rose played most of the instruments on the album, she formed a new band to perform on tour.
Prior to Loner's release, Rose released "Money" and "Soul No. 5" with accompanying music videos.[15][16] Rose released a music video for "Jeannie Becomes a Mom" on October 17, 2018. The video, which was directed by Amanda Speva, features Abby Pierce as the titular character, depicting Jeannie moving into a new home, performing a dance routine with the movers, and preparing a rainbow Jell-O cake. The song was ranked the fifteenth-best single of the year by National Public Radio.[17]
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".[18] The video was shot on an iPhone over the course of an 11-day roadtrip from Hollywood, California to Hollywood, Florida, documenting the protagonist's journey after she travels to the wrong Hollywood for an audition.[19] According to Rose, the album is a "cinematic pop album that tells a story of someone who leaves behind everything they 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."[20] The album Superstar was released on March 6, 2020,[21][22] and Caroline Rose made her television debut on February 24, 2020, performing "Feel The Way I Want" on Late Night with Seth Meyers.[23]
In June 2022, Rose announced that she would release her fifth studio album in March 2023.[24] The New York Times called the first single, "Love / Lover / Friend", one of the best songs of 2023, "In a flurry of plucked and orchestral strings, Caroline Rose affirms her love by ruling out other possibilities, then basks in wordless choral ecstasy."[25] This was followed by releases of "Miami", "The Doldrums", and "Tell Me What You Want". The latter and "Miami" were accompanied by music videos on Rose's YouTube channel. These form two chapters of then unreleased short film.
Said film follows the story of Rose and her partner, portrayed by Massima Bell, and was filmed in Austin, Texas.[26] The film, "a single continuous narrative of disintegrating time loops, splintering romantic and existential relationships and intricately choreographed long takes",[27] was released in June, 2024.
The packaging for The Art of Forgetting was nominated for Best Recording Package in the 66th Annual GRAMMY Awards, which took place February 4th 2024.[28]
Caroline played in the live band for Kairos Creature Club during her Live on KEXP session,[29] released on July, 31, 2024.

Early life and education
Family and childhood
Caroline Rose was born on October 19, 1989, in Long Island, New York, and grew up in the working-class town of Center Moriches.[9][10] As the child of two artists—a Southern mother and a Yankee father—Rose was immersed in a creative household from an early age, where artistic friends frequently visited and inspired the family's environment.[11][12][13] The artistic dynamics of their family played a pivotal role in fostering Rose's creativity; their father, for instance, taught classes that encouraged innovative thinking by limiting participants to everyday objects like duct tape and toothpicks to spark ideas.[14] This resourceful approach to art influenced Rose's own creative process, while a family friend's introduction to instruments, including their first guitar and harmonica, provided hands-on exposure that encouraged experimentation.[12] Rose recalls "noodling around" on instruments as far back as they can remember, with the household's emphasis on self-expression laying the groundwork for their artistic development.[12] At age 13, Rose began writing songs and poetry, marking the onset of their formal artistic pursuits amid the supportive yet unstructured creative atmosphere of their home.[15][16][17] This early spark, nurtured by their parents' artistic legacy, eventually transitioned into more structured educational explorations in architecture.[3]Academic background
Caroline Rose attended Wellesley College in Massachusetts, graduating in 2011 with a bachelor's degree in architecture.[18] During their undergraduate studies, Rose's architectural training emphasized spatial awareness, acoustics, and emotional resonance in design, which paralleled their longstanding interest in music as an expressive outlet. This intersection fostered a creative mindset where imagining movement through physical spaces mirrored crafting emotional journeys in songwriting.[10] Following graduation, Rose opted against a traditional architecture career, instead embarking on a nomadic lifestyle traveling the country in a van to develop their rockabilly-infused music. This pivot drew on the disciplined problem-solving from their academic background, later applied to practical aspects of their artistry, such as designing tour lighting and stage sets to enhance immersive live experiences.[3][19]Career
Early musical beginnings
Caroline Rose initially pursued a career in architecture after earning a degree from Wellesley College, but they soon pivoted to music, embarking on a nomadic lifestyle traveling across the United States in a van to perform and write songs.[3][20] Their professional entry into music came with the self-funded debut album America Religious, released in 2013 after a successful Kickstarter campaign that raised over $10,000 to support production and touring.[21][22] The album, co-produced by Rose and frequent collaborator Jer Coons at Parkhill Studio in Burlington, Vermont, features 12 tracks blending folk, country, and rockabilly elements, characterized by gritty Americana storytelling and poetic lyrics drawn from their road experiences.[23] Tracks like the title song evoke lonesome wanderings and rural introspection, establishing Rose's early voice in the indie folk scene.[24] Building on this foundation, Rose released their follow-up album I Will Not Be Afraid in 2014 through the independent label Little Hi! Records, marking their first involvement with a record label and expanding their reach beyond self-release.[25][26] The 11-track record delves into themes of resilience amid rootless living and personal hardship, with raw acoustic arrangements that highlight their folk and country roots, including songs like "Blood on Your Bootheels" that reflect tough, transient narratives.[27][28] Throughout this period, Rose cultivated a grassroots audience through intimate performances in small venues and folk circuits across the country, often relying on their van travels to connect with early fans in the Americana and country communities before gaining broader attention.[29][30]Breakthrough and evolution
Caroline Rose's breakthrough came with the release of their third studio album, Loner, on February 23, 2018, through New West Records.[31] Co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler—known for their work with artists like Devendra Banhart and Michael Kiwanuka—the album marked a significant stylistic pivot from their earlier folk-oriented work toward a more eclectic indie pop-rock sound infused with elements of punk, electronic, and surf music, all laced with satirical lyrics.[31][32] Recorded in remote Northern California studios as well as Rose's parents' attic and former apartment, Loner showcased their evolving production skills and willingness to experiment, blending cheeky narratives with infectious melodies that broadened their appeal beyond folk roots.[33] The album's single "Jeannie Becomes a Mom" exemplified this shift, earning widespread acclaim and ranking as the 15th best song of 2018 on NPR Music's year-end list for its witty, genre-blending take on suburban life and personal reinvention.[34] This recognition helped solidify Rose's place in the indie scene, highlighting their ability to merge humor and introspection in a pop-rock framework that felt both fresh and foundational to their prior folk influences. Building on Loner's momentum, Rose released their fourth album, Superstar, on March 6, 2020, via New West Records, a self-produced concept album that satirizes the pursuit of fame through the lens of an ambitious protagonist.[35] Tracked sequentially in their home studio—drawing on YouTube tutorials for technical aspects—the production emphasized glossy, cinematic pop arrangements with '80s-inspired synths and danceable rhythms, reflecting Rose's growing confidence in solo engineering while capturing the highs and lows of their own rising profile.[36] Critics praised Superstar for its sharp wit and thematic depth, with Pitchfork noting its strong humor despite a more structured approach, and it received a weighted average of 78/100 on Metacritic based on favorable reviews.[35] Further elevating their visibility, Rose made their national television debut on February 24, 2020, performing the album's lead single "Feel the Way I Want" on Late Night with Seth Meyers, where their energetic, retro-infused delivery captivated audiences and underscored their transition to a more performative pop-rock presence.[37]Recent releases and achievements
Caroline Rose released their fifth studio album, The Art of Forgetting, on March 24, 2023, through New West Records, exploring themes of mental health struggles and the dissolution of a romantic relationship through introspective indie-folk and rock arrangements.[38][39] The album received critical acclaim for its emotional depth and artistic vulnerability, with Pitchfork noting its descent into the artist's psyche as a highlight.[39] In recognition of its innovative design, The Art of Forgetting earned a Grammy nomination for Best Recording Package at the 66th Annual Grammy Awards in 2024, with Rose serving as art director.[40] To promote the album, Rose embarked on a solo tour in 2023, performing the full record in intimate venues across North America, which emphasized the narrative storytelling embedded in the project's visuals and music.[41] The tour showcased Rose's evolution toward more personal, unaccompanied live presentations, building on stylistic shifts from prior work.[5] Rose's sixth album, year of the slug, arrived on February 7, 2025, via the artist's independent Bootleg Records imprint, recorded as a lo-fi collection of demos using minimal production to capture raw, unpolished songwriting.[42] The record delves into themes of personal growth, transformation, and satirical narrative perspectives, infused with film-inspired elements that transport listeners into introspective vignettes.[7] Initial reception praised its immediacy and twee warmth, with Paste Magazine highlighting its unquantifiable charm and Montreal Rocks commending how Rose transforms technical limitations into emotional strengths.[7][43] Supporting year of the slug, Rose launched another solo tour in early 2025, extending through November with performances in venues like Kilby Court in Salt Lake City and The Sunset Tavern in Seattle, further emphasizing intimate, narrative-driven shows that align with the album's stripped-back ethos.[44]Musical style and influences
Genre shifts and production
Caroline Rose's early albums, such as I Will Not Be Afraid (2014), were rooted in indie folk and alternative country-rock, featuring acoustic arrangements that evoked Americana traditions.[45] This foundation shifted markedly with Loner (2018), where Rose embraced a pop-rock sound infused with psychobilly and thrashy elements, marking a departure toward more eclectic and energetic production.[46] The album was co-produced by Rose and Paul Butler at Panoramic Studio in Bolinas, California, with Butler also engineering alongside Jeremy Harris, allowing Rose to experiment with fuller, rock-oriented instrumentation while retaining her songwriting core.[31][47] Building on this evolution, Rose took full control as producer for Superstar (2020), self-recording much of the album to craft a synthpop-infused pop-rock aesthetic with retro electronic flourishes.[48] She incorporated vintage synthesizers like the Ensoniq SD-1 for a "cheesy" 1980s vibe and unconventional sounds, such as crumpling cellophane for dissonance in tracks like "I Took a Ride," emphasizing space in the mix to let strong song structures shine without overproduction.[48] Rose's multi-instrumentalism—spanning guitar, drums, and keyboards—enabled this hands-on approach, as she played most parts herself during the recording process.[49] Subsequent works further advanced her technical palette, particularly in The Art of Forgetting (2023), where Rose self-produced using modular synthesis tools like Mutable Instruments Clouds and tape loops to create organic, spatial effects that mimicked memory fragmentation.[50] This incorporated electronic elements such as granular synthesis, blending them with classical influences for a more experimental, three-dimensional soundscape, while continuing her role as mix engineer to balance frequencies and depth.[50] This experimental approach continued in the 2025 release year of the slug, recorded simply using GarageBand on a phone to blend psychobilly, pop, shoegaze, alt-country, folk, electronic, and experimental elements with raw, unpolished production.[42]Themes and inspirations
Caroline Rose's lyrics frequently delve into themes of isolation, identity, and personal reinvention, drawing from introspective examinations of solitude and self-evolution. In her 2018 album Loner, loneliness emerges as a core motif, rooted in her history of creative isolation and encounters with societal issues like misogyny and capitalism, which she addresses with satirical humor to highlight emotional disconnection.[51] This sense of apartness underscores tracks that blend vulnerability with defiance, reflecting a loner ethos amid broader human struggles. Her 2023 album The Art of Forgetting shifts toward themes of memory, grief, and healing, inspired by a confluence of personal crises including a breakup, the COVID-19 pandemic, and an ensuing identity reckoning. Forgetting is portrayed not as erasure but as a gradual release of trauma, allowing space for self-compassion, as in the song "Miami," which chronicles bottled anger evolving into lighter acceptance.[52] The album incorporates voicemails from her grandmother, contrasting generational perspectives on loss and legacy to emphasize emotional processing over suppression.[19] These themes are deeply informed by Rose's queer experiences, which infuse her songwriting with narratives of fluid identity and relational heartbreak, such as the queer romance and rupture depicted in "Miami"'s music video.[19] Growing up as the daughter of two artists in Center Moriches, New York, Rose began writing songs and poems in her early teens, cultivating a poetic foundation that blends literary introspection with musical expression.[9] Broader influences include shapeshifting artists like Tom Waits and Joni Mitchell, whose reinventions mirror her own artistic evolution.[52] Critics interpret her public persona as an impish indie rebel, channeling playful rebellion against conventional expectations to champion independent creativity and queer authenticity.[46]Personal life
Identity and public persona
Caroline Rose uses they/them and she/her pronouns and identifies as non-binary and queer.[53][54][55] In interviews, Rose has discussed their identity openly, noting an initial reluctance to emphasize queerness early in their career to avoid being defined solely by it, stating, "I didn’t really come out. I kind of just wanted to be a songwriter." Over time, they embraced greater authenticity, explaining, "At a certain point I was like, I need to be more of myself… now that pretty much everyone knows I’m a big old gay," and expressing pride in their role as a queer artist: "I love being gay and I love being a gay artist." This openness extends to their music, where queer themes occasionally surface to bridge personal and performative selves.[55] As a queer non-binary artist in the indie music scene, Rose contributes to representation by challenging reductive labels and advocating for recognition beyond identity markers, remarking on media tendencies: "Sometimes I just get so much media attention like that, like, oh, you’re a woman. Oh, you’re queer," while valuing community support from queer role models like Courtney Barnett. Their public persona has evolved from a more guarded, stage-separated approach in early work to a reinvention emphasizing unfiltered self-expression, allowing for deeper integration of personal identity into their artistic presence.[55]Residence and lifestyle
As of 2025, Caroline Rose resides in Austin, Texas, where they maintain a home studio dedicated to music production and creative projects.[56][2] Following their graduation from Wellesley College in 2011 with a degree in architecture,[18] Rose initially pursued opportunities in New York City before relocating to Vermont, where they lived for several years while developing their early music career.[57][58] This series of moves, including a period of nomadic living in a van after college, shaped a flexible and independent lifestyle that emphasized self-reliance and artistic exploration over traditional career paths.[9][59] Rose's eventual settlement in Austin around 2018 provided a stable base amid these transitions, allowing for a routine that integrates touring with periods of focused home-based work.[58] In daily life, Rose balances music production with personal hobbies influenced by their upbringing in an artistic family, where both parents were visual artists who encouraged travel and creative expression from a young age.[9] This background fosters pursuits such as hands-on activities like working on cars and motorcycles, and gardening, which serve as tactile outlets separate from musical endeavors.[57] Additionally, Rose draws on their architectural training and applies these skills practically in stage set design for tours.[60] These activities reflect a commitment to independent living choices that prioritize creative autonomy and personal fulfillment outside professional obligations.[61]Discography
