“…it’s like Crystal Rose actually knows our minds and wrote her songs based on them. And now, the sensitive queen of Brooklyn is back with a new single to make us fall a little more in love with her and her music, ‘Thought I’d Say.’” The Honey Pop (2022). 

Crystal Rose works to create musical work that links genres and subject matters of interconnectedness, the human voice, ancestry, the every day and the extra. She grew up in San Diego, CA, performing in rock/soul cover bands since the age of 13, and is currently based in Brooklyn, NY. Spiritual and personal expression are integral to her work, learned through her experiences with her mother’s musical culture from the Philippines.

I Think I'll Call It Morning - Gil Scott-Heron Cover, for Bryse

We miss you, Bryse. I’m still grasping at straws to find you, but holding on to the people around me. It isn’t perfect (I had a cold), but I think you would’ve loved it anyway. This is a cover of I Think I’ll Call It Morning by Gil Scott-Heron off the album she sent me before she left this world, Pieces of a Man. The way this song shows up in the album is like a little bit of hope in an otherwise deep and dark and corrupt world. I can’t quite express just how much it means to me to have some of her (and my) favorite people perform this in honor of her. Thank you so much to Andrew Forman on bass and for mixing, Crystal Rose on vocals (helping us figure out the vocals) and transcribing, David Zyto on guitar, Guy Paz on drums, and Katy Rea for recording us and helping the whole process. I love you guys with my whole soul. This is for Bryse, perhaps the most charming woman I’ve had the pleasure of knowing, living with, and loving. Thank you.

"We love to see an artist who’s better at explaining our feelings than we are. Her first album, It’s Raining In Here, was a success with all of us, sentimental people who think music expresses our feelings better than words. No, seriously, it’s like Crystal Rose actually knows our minds and wrote her songs based on them." The Honey Pop 2022.

Delving into generational trauma, deep love, reflection, and mental health, Anew is emotionally charged as it is cathartic, making Rose a top contender for an artist you must watch in 2023! The Daily Listening 2022

"Thought I’d Say,” sounds to my ears like Steely Dan-meets-Patti Austin – a sophisticated, smooth and hooky song with just a little hint of jazz. (Trivia note for music scholars: Patti Austin had many hits and was one of six backup singers on Steely Dan’s “Babylon Sisters)." Two Story Melody 2022.

"Crystal got a degree in jazz from NYC’s prestigious New School. Thanks to her musical training, Crystal’s songs glide effortlessly – and the singing takes you to paradise. She’s definitely a star on the rise."
Two Story Melody 2022.

“Through dreamy vocals that create a somber yet hopeful atmosphere, Rose echoes the line, “I’m trying,” repeatedly, reflecting the ongoing thought that many first-generation Americans have while navigating their life, family relationships, personal growth, and identity.” Returner Magazine 2022

“La fusión de los elementos electrónicos con los acústicos y la honestidad de su voz lo hacen un proyecto imperdible.” Mickey's Weekly 2021.
