Yearnalism - Vinyle Bordeaux

Description

While modern romantic life often boils down to dating apps, toxic indifference, and sometimes even humiliation, we lose the keys to truly expressing our desire. While most people close themselves off, Baby Rose remains true to authenticity. Fresh off her first Grammy Award in the Best R&B Album category for her contribution to Leon Thomas's MUTT, the inimitable contralto returns with Yearnalism, her third studio album imbued with confidence, tenderness, and liberating love. The singer-songwriter and producer defines "yearnalism" as the process and documentation of desire in all its forms. This stripped-down 12-track album, which will undoubtedly become classics, traces a winding path toward desire devoid of ego. Baby Rose has built her journey to this moment, stone by stone, for nearly ten years. Raised between Washington D.C. and Fayetteville, North Carolina, and shaped by artists like Nina Simone, Donny Hathaway, and Janis Joplin, the musician, born Jasmine Rose Wilson, has been a cornerstone of alternative R&B since her debut album, To Myself, released in 2019. It was then that the haunting resonance of her voice and an early maturity captivated listeners. Since then, she has collaborated with artists such as Ari Lennox, Big K.R.I.T., Q, BADBADNOTGOOD, and J. Cole. She performed the end-credit song for the Hollywood blockbuster Creed III and lent her voice to the A24 film Materialists by composing two poignant tracks for the soundtrack and making an appearance as a wedding singer. She has shared the stage with artists as diverse as Robert Glasper and Vince Staples and has participated in artistic performances at the MoMA and ballets at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, in arrangements by the legendary Kyle Abraham, choreographer for Misty Copeland. Among her admirers are industry heavyweights like SZA, Alicia Keys, Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, H.E.R., Kehlani, James Blake, and Olivia Dean. In a word, the name Baby Rose is synonymous with confidence, and her art is simply exceptional. Reaching this level of self-love that shines through every track on Yearnalism has been a true journey for Rose, one she intends to continue. She credits therapy for helping her name her past anxiety and depression attacks, friends like SZA for introducing her to breathing and meditation techniques, and her faith in God for helping her stay grounded throughout this journey. Through her ongoing exploration of Yearnalism, Rose reminds the listener that it is essential to express one's struggles with sincerity and to love despite fear.
