The Rose is back with their album ‘HEAL’. Let’s dive right in, because we’ve been really looking forward to this one.
HEAL
We start off with the super soft intro ‘~‘. This creates such a wonderful, soft soundscape. I love it. Just take a moment to catch your breath and relax.
‘Definition of ugly is‘ one gut-wrenching song. If you have ever felt insecure, you’ll be able to relate. You can find the translated lyrics here. The vocals were a punch in the gut while the guitar solo had me in a chokehold. I’m an emotion wreck. What an amazing track!
After that comes the pre-released song ‘Childhood’ which we wrote about here.
‘Shift’ is one of those songs that’ll be a huge comfort. This soft pop rock track has some very nice synth sounds and a lovely balance between vocals and instrumentals.

‘Cure’ has one of those choruses that you shout along to as loud as you can. I can just imagine the chills you would get when you hear this live. I’m still bitter that I didn’t manage to get tickets to their Europe shows.
‘See-Saw’ is another one of those gut-wrenching songs. The violins added really enhance the emotional mood, along with the more intimate, whispered vocals. It really feels like a confessional you whisper at the darkest of night.
The next track is ‘TIME’. This is a lovely pop rock track! I really enjoyed how they played with brief pauses, it made what followed even more impactful.
The only feature follows that. ‘Yes’ featuring James Reid, a Filipino artist is a fun vibe. Let’s fall in love together and just chase the sunset.
‘Sour’ is the title track of this album. Can I just say, damn! What an exquisite title track. I love the chorus and the guitars really went off in the bridge. I love the way they added a bit of synth to the instrumentals.
Also the music video is pretty cool! I really love the colouring.
The closing track is the outro ‘-‘. This instrumental track really lets you catch your breath again and begs for the loop with the intro.
