YEARNALISM (MAROON VINYL)

With modern dating being reduced to app-swiping, toxic nonchalance and
even balloon-popping humiliation, we''''re losing recipes on how to properly
yearn for each other. But while most try to keep their guards up, Baby Rose is
staying devoted to what''''s real. Fresh off winning her first GRAMMY Award in
the Best R&B Album category for her part on Leon Thomas'''' MUTT, the
unmistakable contralto returns with Yearnalism, her third studio album
steeped in confidence, care and liberating love.


The singer-songwriter-producer defines yearnalism as the process and
documentation of desire in its many forms: 'Desiring freedom, desiring love,
desiring what you can't have, desiring
expansion." This streamlined 12-song LP of soon-to-be classics creates a bumpy
roadmap of
desire free from ego. Rose notes that despite the current trend of 'too cool"
emotional avoidance in music and entertainment, she pushed herself and her
collaborators to bare a different side of themselves. 'If you're coming into my
court, you're coming to yearn," she declares with a laugh.
