I Am Roze shares COLORS performance of new single 'Dollar'

‘The Louisiana native is making empowering music that speaks to the heart’ 

NME

‘With such an incomparable voice and sonics dripping in soul, it’s no surprise Roze is on the rise’

Louisiana native I Am Roze shares their emotional and soulful performance of new single Dollar for COLORS.

The spellbinding show follows Roze’s sold-out debut London headliner last week, where tracks from their upcoming EP, Social Commentary, were aired live for the first time.

Not much about I Am Roze (they/them) is ordinary. Coming from Louisiana, Roze’s music career began when they were homeless, a few months after their house had been destroyed by hurricane Laura; Fred Again sampled one of Roze’s Instagram clips and used it for 2 songs on his second album. A couple of years later, Roze’s first live performance was on Later… with Jools Holland, their second was at the Royal Albert Hall a few weeks later, performing their song Definition Of Happy with Nitin Sawhney CBE to a stunned audience. Jools himself said it was the best performance he could remember.

Having already received critical acclaim from the NME, Line Of Best Fit and New Wave Magazine, Roze is set to release their second project, Social Commentary. The EP will be released on January 27th 2025 via LAB Records and new single ‘Dollar’ is released today.

Speaking about Dollar, Roze commented: “Someone has to say something about corporations and governments taking our money and funding death and destruction so why not me”.

Social Commentary is a beautifully emotional and thought-provoking body of work, which features production from a star-studded team of producers including Eg White (Adele, Amy Whinehouse) and Grades (Grammy Award winner – Dua Lipa, Stormzy).

It’s no surprise that so many legends have supported Roze already, including Summer Walker, Timbaland, and even Ghostface Killah from the Wu Tang Clan requested to rap one of Roze’s tracks, after seeing a tiktok.
