Rosie is not only a fast-emerging singer-songwriter, but is also widely regarded as a virtuoso guitarist and a vocalist with a powerful emotional range and depth.
Rosie Frater-Taylor’s current album Featherweight deftly blurs the boundaries between rock, alt pop, neo soul, new-school jazz and folk. Drawing influence from the likes of Joni Mitchell, Kate Bush and SoundCellar legend Becca Stevens, to the rockier roster – where John Mayer, Meshell Ndegeocello, Madison Cunningham hold court, Featherweight asserts an emotional musical maturity and a vast selection of sound-worlds, all tied together by Rosie’s trademark songwriting, guitar and vocal style.
“A gnarly rock foundation heightened by nuanced jazz chords and folk-style finger-picking. Astonishingly mature album for one so young”
MOJO Magazine
Rosie independently released and produced her sophomore album Bloom, in 2021. This garnered in excess of three million streams, was nominated at Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide Awards, and took Rosie and her trio across the UK and Europe for over 60 live shows. This included performances on the main stage at We Out Here festival, the Barbican for International Women’s Day and several shows supporting Madison Cunningham.
“Simply riveting. Combining a jazz-infused guitar-meets-vocal vamping style with an indie-rock approach, Rosie Frater-Taylor is like no other guitarist today”
