Aux Goddess Playlist: Fayetteville’s Own Baby Rose Making Moves
Meet Baby Rose, the modern soul scene’s not-so-secret weapon with a voice so deep it’ll have you rethinking your life choices. Born Jasmine Rose Wilson in the hustle of D.C. but raised in the chill vibes of Fayetteville, North Carolina, she’s the real deal. Thanks to a family that played everything from A to Z, Baby Rose got her eclectic sound that’s all about soul, R&B, and a dash of blues—for those of us trying to find ourselves between swipes on our dating apps.
Her debut album, “To Myself,” dropped in 2019 and let me tell you, it’s like a deep dive into the diary you forgot you needed. With tracks like “Show You” and “Mortal,” she’s got this way of stripping down complex feels to something we can all nod to, earning her love along with respect from fans and critics alike.
Seeing Baby Rose live is like hanging with your bestie who just happens to have an amazing voice and emotional depth. She turns gigs into these cozy, “let’s all hug it out” sessions, proving she’s not just a studio artist. Honestly, she sounds like she ethereally popped in on us from another time. My dear friend Stori put me up on her and I am eternally grateful!
Offstage, Baby Rose is all about sticking to what matters at her core, pushing for mental health awareness, and lifting up fellow artists. In an industry that’s about as easy to navigate as your relationship status, her authenticity and resilience shine.
Fast forward to her latest project, “Slow Burn,” which she says is like mixing old-school cool with “our eclectic chemistry.” Recording on tape with her band for the first time gave her vibes of raw, unfiltered passion. It’s all about the journey from past heartaches to finding freedom and comfort, kind of like those long drives from DC to NC she took as a kid. So buckle up, and enjoy the ride with Baby Rose as she continues to break barriers and belt out art that resonates with our soul-searching generation.
