Deployed in torch ballads and pop-punk numbers, her wise-beyond her-years songwriting imbues the 11 songs.
"Lovebirds on the Weekend," released August 2nd is a timeless, classic rock banger from Mystery Rose's debut LP Socially Distant. At just 18, her phenomenal talent is evident on every track. Deployed in torch ballads and pop-punk numbers, her wise-beyond her-years songwriting imbues the 11 songs. Mystery Rose sets herself apart with emo pop-punk twists, complemented by Dan West's spot-on arrangements. Mystery Rose-aka Zoe Rose -commands the kineticism of youth while realizing there are some lessons people never stop learning. "There are no new stories, but we can put modern twists on age-old problems," says Rose. She tells Spill Magazine, "The song taps into that anger or resentment you have towards your ex. It's so satisfying to sing these lyrics, ' I don't give a f about you or your girlfriend/ Last thing on my mind is you lovebirds on the weekend.' However, then the human emotion takes over. My favorite line in the song is: ' I loved you then/ I love you now/I loved you never/I don't know which one is better.'
On her debut LP Socially Distant (out October 15, 2021), LA's Mystery Rose establishes herself as an emerging rock/pop phenom. Deployed in torch ballads and pop-punk numbers, her wise-beyond her-years songwriting imbues the 11 songs. Though she's obviously grown up with millennial pop stars like Miley Cyrus, Mystery Rose sets herself apart with emo pop-punk twists worthy of Mitski or Soccer Mommy, complemented by Dan West's spot-on arrangements. Mystery Rose-aka Zoe Rose -commands the kineticism of youth while realizing there are some lessons people never stop learning. "There are no new stories, but we can put modern twists on age-old problems," says Rose. With these songs, she does just that, holding space for nostalgia, anger, and reckoning alike."All of the songs have a theme of isolation, loneliness and break ups. However, there is also a feeling of acceptance," she explains. She's cultivated these songs under the tutelage of musician-producer Dan West (d'Animal, LoveyDove, Sidewalk Society), who also produced Socially Distant from, a, well, social distance. West had helped Rose realize not only her talent but her desire to make music early on. "I was intrigued with him immediately because he acted more like a student than an adult and always had two fistfuls of coffee," Rose laughs. Working with West and his wife, the psychedelia-indie rock singer-songwriter Azalia Snail, Rose has been steadily writing and recording. She's dropped five singles since 2018, and they've caught the ears of Indie Alliance DJ's, including Rodney Bingenheimer, whose "Rodney on the ROQ" show launched a host of legendary artists (Blondie, Joan Jett, Nirvana).
