Caroline Rose’s ‘Feel the Way I Want’ bounces along with a juicy, spontaneous zeal that is becoming characteristic of the American singer-songwriter’s sound.
Rose is sparkly, amusing and self-deprecating in the accompanying music video, glowing with the adorable naivete of an emerging artist but dancing with endless confidence and charisma of someone who has had their eyes on the prize for a long time. Rose indeed grew up as a child of two artists, and such does not hold back from exploring a plethora of genres and forms in her music.
‘Feel the Way I Want’ similarly moves with some punchy electro-pop beats, grounded by a calling of eighties-inspired synth and drum machines. Rose begins the clip by breaking the fourth wall and inviting her audience into what she expects to be an audition in Hollywood Boulevard in Los Angeles, only to be later told that her audition is actually taking place in Florida. Off she goes on a cross-country dance journey, immersed into the sound of her headphones, donning a red outfit, fearless and passionate. Rose’s zany, resilient persona pairs fantastically well with themes of the song, which stress on self-love, strength and letting go. The funky house rhythms that sprinkle in a few retro vibes do well to enhance the mood around the song.
The single is released alongside the announcement of an upcoming album from the thirty-year-old singer-songwriter. Her fourth album Superstar is set to be released on March 6, 2020, and is said to be inspired by some cinematic influences of the golden years. She has also announced tour dates, which will span two months, and covers a variety of states and shows across the States---starting from March 6 in Albany, New York. Speaking on her mindset going into this album, Rose says:
To me, there's both humor and horror in hubris and what it takes in order to be successful. I wanted to make a story out of those parts of myself that I find largely undesirable and embarrassing, then inject them with steroids.”
With such an innovative creative style, Rose is bound to garner a massive reception for her latest project.
