The first time I heard Baby Rose was at an Ari Lennox concert that she opened and I remember looking at my sister like ”what was that?!?” she's so special!

[@michelle1718]

Omg I was there too in Toronto! I'm so proud of how far she's come so quickly. I was in awe of her voice back then. I low-key wanna keep her All To Myself lol

[@SquallingBaritone]

We were at the same concert! lol. I didn’t know how to feel at the time, but I’m so taken by her. I can’t stop smiling

[@BT2thaR18]

Same here at the LA show. I felt like I was first in the know

[@lextownwarrior]

Boffum

[@TreavorUnion]

I've been a fan for a few months and still don't understand. Her voice is so unique, like somehow early 1900s vocal patterns were reincarnated in her larynx.

[@SunAngelD]

XPL0RR AGREED!

Has a little Anohni-sound (f.k.a Antony Hegarty from Antony & the Johnsons)

[@Francis-rw5fw]

I heard her on the Dreamville song "Self Love" and immediately became entranced... Her voice is so distinct and beautiful; almost like it tugs directly at your heart.

Shoutouts to the background singer Erika JaNae! Went to high school with her!

[@ccmil555]

She absolutely did a perfect job. Every single note on point. Even the volume of her voice. Its pretty hard to do it on live

[@ErikaJaNae]

[@nataliajohnson2629]

Finally getting the recognition she deserves 😭👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@sisterphyllis4753]

The beginning music pulled me in. When she began to sing, I couldn't believe that was her voice. It's uniqueness is definitely a draw in for the listening. The music is like a big band jazzy with a in the sun poolside vibe. That last song had a familiar rhythm of a gospel song with a H.E.R flavor. I've never heard of this artist before. Thank you Tiny Desk as always.

[@TreavorUnion]

Check out her song, "Pressure." It's my favorite so far.

[@sisterphyllis4753]

XPL0RR thank you

[@OliverHeikkinen]

My favorite from her is Artifacts it's very different from her other songs

[@fixitladie]

Show You is my joint!

[@MrBranh0913]

She has way more range than H.E.R

[@DanitraLewis884]

Her voice is so rich and classic. Her vibe is so cool...all her own. She’s definitely consistently improving, she did an excellent job at staying in sync and on key with the band, especially considering the stretch, vocal range, and sheer power of her voice. Her voice definitely makes me think of the greats like Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, and even Maya Angelou...they all had such unique powerful voices. In an industry so over saturated with pop it’s high key refreshing to hear a voice like this. All in all...I’d say her future is as bright as the red jacket she’s wearing.

[@whatsaqueentoagoddess]

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@stefwithanf2209]

Baby Rose has helped me through my interim in a tough relationship. She's so beautiful, and her voice makes me feel heard.

[@DamnWow]

Her voice gives me goosebumps Like a combination of Nina Simone and Amy Winehouse, but completely unique in its own right

[@sherilynn]

Her "Ragrets" sounds like Amy's "Rehab", too

[@ericlees314]

Not listened yet but on that description I'm in!

[@prettyhamburger6462]

I think she's a contralto like Simone... if I'm wrong please do correct me!

@@prettyhamburger6462 I agree

[@Bithiah71]

Voice so heavy yet sweetly rich with a gutteral sultry that baffles my ears. Confused, observing crimson lips in motion as the back of her throat serenades me.. Love it. Hate it. Then love it again. Who dis Woman? No matter. Don't stop!

If the 1920’s had R&B , it would sound like this!😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍

[@Julaytrindade]

Baby Rose getting the recognition she deserves!! Please check out her album "To Myself", one of the best and most unique albums of 2019.

[@Subllama]

i love this woman. Her music is like a warm hug after feeling lonely and crying about sorrows. even if her songs are about failed love and feeling isolates they make you feel more identified. all to myself is my favorite.

[@burnie2910]

Love it! Baby Rose's voice is reminiscent of Nina for real! Just so soulful. Been ready for something else since Self Love off Dreamville! Sends chills!! Keep rockin', Queen

[@NN-hc2mn]

I can hear the pain in her singing. I was crying when I heard her.

Love her...what an old soul. Her vibe is so sincere--so about the music. Sometimes YT's suggestions are actually on point lol

Beautiful unique voice, because of that, her music will be timeless just like Anita Baker or Sade.

[@georgeclyde7904]

My story: I djayed at a small lounge in Brooklyn one day and after the event they switched to Spotify… so I’m packing up and “Mortal” comes on. Stopped me dead in my tracks. I Shazamed it… I must have listened to it 100 times on repeat. Did my googles and found she was performing in Philly… drove all the way there solo.. I was blown away!! She performed a couple of days later in NYC… I got to see her and meet her and tell her how great she was and how great I thought she’d be. Several shows and albums later and she still is!!! 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾

She and the band were amazing. Her voice and these arrangements >>>>>
