“there’s a sharp crackle of anxiety beneath the crushed velvet pop sheen of ‘Getting to Me’ . . . an expert dissection of the mind-numbing monotony inherent in profound loneliness.”
— NPR Music “Songs We Love”
“Rose is a fascinating person, and from DIY production trickery to her multi-role star turns in her videos, LONER represents her at her best.” — Stereogum “Artist to Watch”
“With her newly honed interest in producing, Caroline Rose has made an unwaveringly entertaining album filled to the brim with songs that are at once contemplative and coax the listener to get out of their seat and dance.” — Rookie
Songwriter/producer Caroline Rose will release LONER, her darkly comedic second album, on February 23rd via New West. Capturing the cheeky satire, comical musings, and often jarring mood swings that make up much of Rose’s personality, LONER marks a significant leap forward both sonically and emotionally, unleashing a burgeoning confidence teeming with character. After sharing high-energy numbers, “Money” and “Soul No. 5,” Rose now presents a more contemplative side of LONER with “Getting To Me.” Rose handled string arrangements for “Getting To Me,” which also features Paul Butler (who co-produced LONER alongside Rose) on percussion and synths, Rob Moose on violin, viola and additional string arrangement, and Tomoya Aomori on double bass.
“’Getting To Me’ is one of my favorite songs on LONER because it transports me to the moment when I wrote it,” comments Rose. “It’s a song about feeling extremely isolated and lonely. I remember walking down the street during a Vermont winter, seeing couples lining the entire block, walking hand in hand under the Christmas lights. I popped into a restaurant and went straight to the counter. For anyone who spends a lot of time alone, counters feel like they were designed for us so that waitresses don’t have to discard a setting at a table set for two. When you’re already feeling like an outsider, you really start to notice things like that, things in even numbers designed for couples. The song is filled with references to feeling like an outsider.”
