Truth or Consequences, the debut album from L.A. based artist Chelsea Rose, is a sophisticated pop record with a timeless sound touching on bossa nova, jazz, and 60s pop, with deep lyrical introspection reminiscent of the classic 70s singer-songwriter canon.
Rose spent her twenties fronting sunshine pop group <a href="spotify:artist:2Tfo5n4B74gg8c3n8hjDf1" data-name="Summer Twins">Summer Twins</a> with her sister Justine (<a href="spotify:artist:6xZvTMWiWSul6R65sXLM2g" data-name="Easy Love">Easy Love</a>) releasing two full-length LPs and touring as far afield as Japan and Brazil before abruptly coming to an end when a pipe burst in her home studio the night before the band’s final show, flooding the room filled with instruments and other gear. But rather than giving up on music, Rose took this as a sign from the universe that it was time to move on.
“I feel like Summer Twins was a younger version of me,” she says. “This record is like an older version that has been through a little more, been through a lot of heartbreak and facing the reality of growing up, and living in LA and struggling with making a living being an artist, and keeping that dream alive.”
Rose has created a collection of songs that feel sunny and familiar, but still brim with a worldly, authentic sensibility.
The message of Truth or Consequences is right there in the title—take a chance and live your truth, or bear the consequences…and so it is on the buoyant "<a href="spotify:track:1sWn0eFP8SGuOjR6DjIBsE" data-name="Let Go">Let Go</a>" where Rose offers counsel to anyone struggling to believe in their own dreams: “Reach out your hand/ It’s yours to have.”
