Press Reviews “ Rose’s soul-piercing drama has a way of communicating with all who listen. You will be sure to marvel in the secret of the story being told. “Cry for Love” and “Creep” are the emotional proclamations of what we all go through at one time or another. Love the sound. The music was beautiful and soaring.” ~LIVE Magazine, October Issue 2002
