K-pop star Rosé has released her debut solo album “Rosie,” which explores themes of heartache and lost love. The album, titled after Rosé’s nickname for personal intimacy, marks the singer’s departure from Blackpink’s high-energy electro-pop sound.
“Rosie” is a stripped-back record that showcases Rosé’s vocal range, with songs like “Number One Girl,” “Two Years,” and “Apt.” featuring piano ballads, synth-pop tracks, and collaborations with artists like Bruno Mars. The album delves into heartache over lost loves, missed chances, and ambivalence in relationships.
The 12-track album is an emotional rollercoaster that fans of Blackpink and Rosé can easily relate to. With songs about the trials and tribulations of early adulthood, “Rosie” offers a nuanced exploration of love and connection. While it may lack the spirited energy of Blackpink’s group sound, “Rosie” remains a heartfelt and engaging listen.
