Midlands Rocks said: 'Rose Redd cuts a striking, assured figure on stage and the young singer possesses a powerful yet emotive voice. The quality of her original material is strong throughout (there isn’t a weak song all night) and her heartfelt lyrics have a depth and maturity that belie her years.'
Rose Redd is a beautiful contradiction. Twenty years in age but unfathomably older in soul, her music has its roots in darker days, experiences, and stories and finds its bloom in both release and connection. Her poignant verses and explosive choruses let you know that she makes music because she has to.
Born in the sleepy British seaside town of Eastbourne, at six months old Redd relocated with her family to the West Midlands. She was raised on a varied musical diet of everything from Ella Fitzgerald to Iron Maiden to Kate Bush, greedily consuming it all.
At the tender age of twelve she first found a kindred spirit in Depeche Mode's Martin Gore, whose lyrics spoke to her as a troubled young woman and gave her the inspiration to pick up a guitar for the first time and explore songwriting as a means of expression.
She's come a long way since portraying a singing sunflower in a kindergarten play and after the last five years of performing across the country, from pub gigs to headlining Birmingham music venues, Rose Redd’s hard work and potential is now being realised by both fans and industry professionals. Now backed by a talented and equally as passionate band she is ‘ready to take on the world and with talent like hers, there's nothing to stop her on her way’.
The Healing is Rose Redd's powerful new single from the EP of the same name. Her voice has been described as 'A soulful powerhouse' and 'a blend of Amy Lee and Alison Moyet'.
"The Healing is a realisation of how self destructive I can be and how, in the past, I have projected my self hate and weaknesses onto others, fooling myself into thinking it's not my fault that my goals haven't been achieved yet."
Rose, now backed by her band, delivers a powerful and passionate live performance giving the audience a chance to experience Rose Redd's ' extraordinary depth and ability to translate her inner thoughts'.
