Roses

A 1 track contemporary r&b single (3m 15s) — released August 25th 2023 on LRK Records

Aphrose, a Canadian artist born in Toronto, has created a true genre-blending masterpiece with her latest single "Roses." This song seamlessly fuses elements of R&B, Soul, and Hip Hop, resulting in a fresh and distinctive sound that is quickly gaining Recognition. "Roses," the single set to release digitally worldwide on August 25th, promises a captivating sonic adventure that will undoubtedly leave listeners inspired and singing along to its anthemic hook. The song holds a special significance as it is dedicated to Aphrose's late Grandmother Rose, who held a dear place in her heart. Written in loving memory of her grandmother, "Roses" embodies themes of family, strength, and sacrifice passed down through Aphrose's ancestors, enabling her to lead the life she has today.

The single features a powerful 5-person choir, including fellow talented artist Claire Davis, who is also signed LRK Records. At the end of the song, a stunning guitar solo adds a riveting touch, and the song begins with a touching soundbite of a young 8-year-old Aphrose saying a prayer, the audio lifted from her Dad's old Sony Hi8

"Roses" presents a musical experience unlike anything you've heard before. It successfully intertwines emotional depth with joyous and uplifting elements, making it an extraordinary piece of art.

Following her last sublime single, Aphrose creates a glossy heaven on “YaYa” that plays to disco classics while playing with roots in a lot of different pots. Whether it’s the cool and airy synths, that slinking bass run or the punchy harmonies, the whole track is bumping from needle drop. Those pre-chorus vocal effects are instantly addictive too, letting that bright chorus take off with a beautiful glow. Once again, Aphrose’s vocals nail every inch of the track, hushing in those quiet moments, and expanding to a raspy high as the track slides into the chorus. - Ottawa Life Magazine

It’s bright and “up” – a finger clicker, a foot tapper – you get the picture. The committed vocal, by the way, underlines the soulful promise that ‘Good Love’ delivered! - Soul&Jazz&Funk on

With the funky bounce of the bass, shimmering keyboards, and the intricate vintage timbre of the drums, “YaYa” is a standout, sticky, and sweet masterpiece that feels as good as it sounds. - Canadian Beats Media

“Aphrose's stunning range spans the vocal stratosphere, with both lead and background performance having the power of the female giants of soul, showcasing her astonishing range and complete vocal control. - Collection (Italy) Soul Collection (Italy)

Absolutely loving this! - BBC Lancashire on "YaYa" Gary Hickson
