Last night, Caroline
Rose made her television debut with just under two weeks to go
before the release of Superstar,
her new album, out March 6th on New West. Rose brought her incredible
energy, personality and dance moves to the stage of Late Night with Seth Meyers where
she performed Superstar’s lead single “Feel the Way I Want,” a number that “finds the singer-songwriter
leaning fully into the sound and image she’s spent the past four years
sculpting” (Rolling Stone). Onstage, Rose (vocals, guitar) was
joined by Abbie Morin (keyboard), Michael Dondero (bass, keyboard), Riley Geare keyboard) and Willoughby Morse (drum), all
adorned in primary colors. The performance previews her North American tour, which kicks off next week.

Superstar, the follow up to 2018’s LONER, is a bigger,
badder, glitter-filled cinematic pop record. It’s an underdog story, and one
not far off from Rose’s real life. After years of struggle to release what
would ultimately become LONER, Rose found herself in the midst of a
new widespread audience, one both intrigued and perplexed about how and where
to place her. This feeling of otherness, combined with a developed set of
studio skills and a challenge to “make something from nothing,” marked
the beginning of Superstar —the story of a shamelessly odd
hero, or rather anti-hero, on a quest to become a someone.
In anticipation of the upcoming album release, Rose has launched an Instagram
filter that lets fans “Superstar themselves.” The
real-time effect lets fans take photos and videos featuring the makeup and
lighting effects from the album’s cover art, and post directly to Instagram
stories. The filter is free via Instagram, available on all smartphones, and
can be installed here.
