With her sumptuous voice striking a perfect balance between power and subtlety, recent revelation I Am Roze offers stripped-back, introspective soul.

A revelation in soul ready to win hearts far and wide, I Am Roze is one of those talents that simply blossoms in the face of adversity. The Louisiana-born artist started sharing her stuff on Instagram while living through the consequences of Hurricane Laura, which left Roze unhoused when it hit in 2020. Yet despite this hardship, two of her tracks landed on the second album of English DJ Fred Again, where they had millions of plays. After this twist of fate, I Am Roze’s voice, charisma, and sensitive nature took over: first on stage, where her performances left her audiences breathless, and then on records, with two EPs – I’m Not Emotional (2024) and Social Commentary (2025) – which unveiled her personal writing, powerfully put to music with utmost simplicity, breaking down the barriers between soul and pop. The touch of gospel in her recent singles emphasises the strength of her artistic expression rooted in self-actualisation.
