Rose Frater-Taylor - Bloom (Bridge The Gap)

WHAT THE COVER LOOKS LIKE:

WHAT WE SAY:

​It's hard to believe Rosie Frater-Taylor is only 21, such is the assurance with which she marries her soul, folk & pop passions with jazz honed skills, uniting them like old friends around her stunning voice, consummate guitar & an almost bossa like breeziness. If that wasn't enough the LP is self produced & she mixed half of it as well. The future is Rosie.

WHAT THE RELEASE NOTES SAY:

With a clear sense of purpose, 21-year-old London-based singer, songwriter and guitarist Rosie Frater-Taylor blurs the lines between jazz, folk, pop & soul. Think Joni Mitchell meets Pat Metheny, Lewis Taylor teams up with Emily King or a female version of John Mayer.
​
Raised in a very musical household - both her parents being professional musicians – Rosie started playing drums at a young age creating the rhythmic foundations for her future writing. After picking up the guitar, ukulele & bass soon after, Rosie found her roots in jazz & writing simultaneously studying at Tomorrow’s Warriors, NYJO, the Royal Academy of Music and attending songwriting workshops at the Roundhouse.
