Rose Prince Encourages Listeners to Carpe Diem with “Freak”
By: Paul K. Barnes
Rose Prince is an artist who thrives on the emotional authenticity of his music. And, through his own emotional authenticity, he hopes to find relatability with his listeners. His new single “Freak” is one that compiles a series of late night adventures he's had in his life. He hopes it reminds people of their own exciting nights out.
“I’m picking up diamonds and curating certain experiences from my life. I want to say it's like a dark dream…somewhere between fantasy and reality. It’s not like my life is like this every day…but I wrote this song because I’ve been there.”
Written over the course of years, “Freak” is a song Rose Prince hopes people queue up in their pre-game moments, add to their *spicy* playlist, or blast through bass-boosting car speakers on the way to the afterparty. As a songwriter who always writes with intentionality, he wants the lyrics of the song to resonate with people. He also wants the song to give people confidence in their “carpe diem” moments. Through the song’s entrancing production, heavy bass and overall mystical sound, the dreamlike state Rose was going for is strong throughout the entirety of the track.
“When people hear this, I want them to be like ‘Oh wow, this is hard.’ I want them to feel that way about the beat and the lyrics.”
Rose Prince is an artist that doesn’t only create or listen to music but absorbs it. When listening to his favorite artists, lyrics and production stand out to him clearly. He admires artists like The Weeknd, A$AP Rocky and Metro Boomin, who are all known for immersive sonic cohesion in their music. The emotional resonance he has with lyrics of his favorite songs is the blueprint for the effect his own music is written to have.
“I write the music I want to hear.”
The song “Freak” is a track whose lyrics paint specific pictures in the listener's mind. They take the person hearing Rose Prince’s words to the moment he was in and the mindstate during those events.
“There’s no limit to what you can write. Lyrics are pure emotion turned into words and you take that emotion and build whatever you want with it.”
For Rose Prince, the sounds around the lyrics are just as important. Rose often envisions melodies and sounds in his own head and works with producers to bring the full concept to life. Sometimes, the producer brings something different than what he had in mind and the end result is one that is even greater than what he envisioned. Collaboration is something he embraces and he’s well aware of the positive results it can create.
“I’d say my strength is in songwriting…I want to find producers who can take my vision for a song and craft a professional quality production…I’m not willing to sacrifice quality…I think combining skill sets is important as a creator.”
While “Freak” sits in the lane of electronic, pop, rap-signing, Rose plans to go for something completely different with his next release. However, the intentionality with the music remains. By having such a diverse interest in the multi layered beauty of music, Rose Prince is able to take inspiration from his influences and craft something that best reflects who he is. He knows that no matter what he writes, they will be his words and they will be expressed in the way that he wants them to be. The emotional resonance and relatability will remain at the forefront as he crafts his story his way.
