Rose White’s latest single, “Tears Of Regret,” is going to make you feel how jazz, blues, and pop can be perfectly blended and how it clearly shows her personality and powerful vocals. This newest single opens with a synth ambience that quickly gives way to an insistent, rhythmic percussion, technically hooking the listener from its very starting point with an irresistible groove. He has a voice akin to Duffy, Olivia Dean, and Amy Winehouse, stirring but in the same breath rhythmically gentle, and turns “Tears Of Regret” into an anthem for everyone making their way through troubled waters after a breakup.
Thus, Rose White described her song “Tears of Regret” as the song of a “bad bitch” to somebody going through a really bad breakup. More to it, the track represents the life stage of wanting to run away through parties, alcohol, and one-night-stands. As indicated by Rose, this is a time that is “so unnecessary,” whereby it only gives diversion and some form of ego push. The words of this song string together lust, longing, and confusion with a desire to find some place of comfort in the whirlwind of life post-breakup.
Rose White developed a passion for music early in life, thanks to the influence of Polish punk and international rock in her home, with The Doors, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, and Joy Division taking hold in her musical DNA at a tender age. The importance of roots and soul—a jazz saxophone player like the irreplaceable Nina Simone, the main soul icons against hard times, like James Brown and Stevie Wonder, the female power voices of the beginning of the 2000s, Christina Aguilera, Beyoncé, Amy Winehouse, Annie Lennox. And it is the way Rose can manage to take all these influences and coalesce them into her music that results in “Tears Of Regret” slipping silky smooth into the same stream currently occupied by the likes of RAYE, Jorja Smith, and Joy Crookes. Rose’s rise to the top of London’s music world is humbling and very inspirational. She arrived in London at 20 with only £300 and two suitcases, but most importantly, without any contacts.
What conspicuously stands out in Rose White’s music is the playfully teasing mix of groove-pop with soul and funk grooves—an energetic ability to deliver brilliant hooks. Her husky voice gives her songs a level of depth and emotion that one can easily relate to, making them sound so real. “Tears of Regret” is no exception; it beams an experience of sound that is invigorating but very introspective.
“Tears Of Regret” is an affirmation. It speaks of what we all humans go through with a heartache and all we do to find ourselves back. Whether you’ll be preparing to go out this summer or have some reflection time on past relationships, the latest single, “Tears Of Regret,” from Rose White definitely offers a kind of cathartic, empowering soundtrack.
