Jae, thanks so much for writing about The Rose! Any musician who shares two syllables out of three of my own name is aok by me! ๐Ÿ˜ I kid, of course, these young men are top notch talents no matter what their names may be. Just listened to Sorry - it is every bit as excellent as you have said. It's funny that they were going to open for Halsey before COVID; one of my favorite songs of hers is... Sorry:

They could have sung one after the other, and no one would be sorry about that! ๐Ÿ™‚

That line in "she's in the rain" is THE BEST. I literally have it on a post-it on my desk and may have mentioned it once or twice to clients.

Thanks for writing up The Rose. I saw what you posted, heard another review of their concert at the Vic and started listening to them today. They're great!

I discovered Woosung through Agust Dโ€™s song Snoozeโ€”his vocals were hauntingly beautiful.

It was your Rollingstone article that really introduced me to The Rose. Now I have their songs on my Spotify playlist and The Rosarium downloaded on my phone.

Why was I up at midnight watching Woosung nearly burn out his blender trying to make a smoothie? ๐Ÿ˜‚ (He needs a Nutri Auto iQ 24 oz. 3-Speed Black High Speed Single Serve Blender.)

I turned my kids onto The Rose too. Last night my youngest called as they were driving home to tell me they were listening to Alive. Their sister and I started laughing because we were watching Woosung and The Rose videos on YouTube when they called. At 1AM.

I love their music but your interview gave me my first glimpse into who they are as people. Thatโ€™s what really won me over.

Now if theyโ€™d just come to Atlanta...
