Caroline Rose presents a new single, “Freak Like Me,” from her forthcoming album, ​ ​ ​ Superstar, due March 6th on New West Records. In conjunction, she announces the west ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ ​ coast run of her North American tour. “Freak Like Me” follows lead single/video “Feel The ​ ​ ​ ​ Way I Want,” in which Rose “walks a fine, funny line between embodying and parodying ​ Kanye-size arrogance” (Rolling Stone). ​ ​

As described by Rose, “‘Freak Like Me’ is a S&M-themed love song about falling in love with your ​ dominatrix. The song’s melody is very floral and beautiful. I imagine it as some sort of delicate dress dancing around 17th century Versailles. I wanted to juxtapose this daintiness with grotesque lyrics. I’ve always wanted to write a pretty song with the word ‘vomit’ in it. Paradoxes ​ ​ are fun.”

“I had been wanting to sample Aaron Embry’s ‘Raven Song’ in a beat for the longest time. Then I had this kind of ‘ah ha!’ moment while working on the song on tour. I chopped up the sample, pitched it and it just fit perfectly. It really took the song to and completed the paradox.” ​

The follow up to 2018’s acclaimed LONER, Superstar is a bigger, badder, glitter-filled ​ ​ ​ ​ cinematic pop record. It’s a semi-autobiographical story of a shamelessly odd hero, or rather ​ anti-hero, on a quest to become a someone. One part satire, one part self-reflection, Rose’s ​ ​ anti-hero personifies much of what we as casual on-lookers are wont to poke fun at, dismiss or denigrate, yet deep down likely aspire to be. Someone who, whether warranted or not, refuses to let anyone dictate their own life’s narrative.

Rose will embark on a lengthy North American tour this spring in support of Superstar. A full ​ ​ list of dates can be found below. Newly-announced shows go on sale *INFO.* ​ ​
