Originally planning to be a painter and illustrator before picking up an acoustic guitar, Red dropped out of art school to enroll in the Musicians Institute in LA which she was admitted to after faking the entry exam by roping in the guitarist from her first band to record it for her. Discovering her voice as both a person and an artist in the process of freeing herself from a predatory record deal that held her creative handcuffs, Red is back with her most impressive and vulnerable work to date.
With her soul-stirring voice, one-of-a-kind style, and undeniable presence, Rosamond has announced her upcoming debut album WIP, out October 18 via Toom Records. A self-assured love letter to individuality and self-discovery, WIP finds Rosamond speaking her truth while delving into her limitless creativity and exploring a landscape of rich tones, thunderous 808s and velveteen strings.
Alongside the album announcement, Rosamond has released her feel-good new single “PLEASE” – an infectious song about the exhilarating highs and nerve-wracking vulnerability of love
Drawing comparisons to Adele and Amy Winehouse and inspired by the dynamism of Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, and Eartha Kitt, you may recognize Red’s breakout single “Inside” with Chris Avantgarde as it has appeared in numerous high-profile films and hit series since its release (Fool Me Once, True Detective, Ragnarok, Lucifer, Dark). An accomplished songwriter with a once in a generation voice, Red has made a name for herself for hitting the sweet spot between timelessness and freshness – such as on her 2021 single “Sike” which added to her millions of global streams as well as her acclaim from Billboard, VICE, Clash, and many more.
