Here we have a rather unique marriage: indie pop and jazz. Although we can find the emotional force of PJ Harvey over here, or the melodic flourishes of Kate Bush over there, the foundation of Rosie Frater-Taylor’s universe is purely jazz. The Brit studied at the Royal Academy of Music and at merely 18 years of age, her first album (On My Mind, 2018) was hailed by the monthly Jazzwise magazine. Her second album, Bloom (2021), reached 3 million streams. Written during her international tour in 2022, this current opus retraces the singer’s personal journey, from the first inklings of her identity to descriptions of her love life. “I felt it was very important to capture my live band’s energy and chemistry to do the tracks justice. I feel this is where my desire to make the album ‘punch’ stems from,” she explains. This is very much a young woman of today, expressing herself through a musical style that’s all her own. Aside from the complex jazz harmonies that inundate the record, we also find rock influences (“Get In Line”), neo-soul (“Heartbeat”), and even a rhythmic foundation in flamenco on “Falling Fast”. The record may declare itself to be “featherweight”, but there’s a superhuman strength that emanates from Rosie Frater-Taylor’s lyrics, and from the musical kaleidoscope that she’s created. © Nicolas Magenham/Qobuz
