Rose White serves up the perfect groove on intoxicating single, "Sazerac"
With Sazerac, Rose White proves once again that she’s one of London’s most compelling new voices. In our opinion, she’s an artist who can blend soul, jazz, and pop into something effortlessly stylish, emotionally charged, and endlessly replayable. The Polish-born singer-songwriter has been steadily shaping her identity over her last few releases, but Sazerac feels like the moment where all her strengths have snapped into focus. It’s lush, sultry, and above all, it’s alive with the kind of confidence that can only come from an artist who knows exactly what she wants to say.
Built around a bass-forward groove, the track moves with an elegance that hits literally from the first note. The guitar work is understated, but undoubtedly smooth and intentionally restrained before Rose’s voice enters to command the room. From the first line, her vocals become the gravitational center of the entire song. They’re raspy in the most intoxicating way, pop-leaning in their clarity, and undeniably soulful in their delivery. She sings with the kind of emotional precision that makes you stop what you’re doing and shuts you up to listen.
Sazerac fully walks the line between laid back intimacy and electric tension. There’s a late-night mystique woven in, the kind of atmosphere that feels tailor-made for post-midnight drives or neon-lit nights aimlessly walking around. The production leans into that mood without ever becoming murky, instead, it keeps everything crisp and deeply textured. You can feel every pluck of the guitar, every thrum of the bass line cutting through the mix with purpose.
Lyrically and emotionally, Rose continues her mission to address the things we’re all thinking but rarely say aloud. There’s an honesty simmering beneath the track’s cool exterior, an undercurrent of vulnerability wrapped in velvet and smoke.
At just around four minutes, Sazerac manages to feel expansive without overstaying its welcome. It’s the kind of song that ends and instantly demands another spin, not because it’s incomplete, but because it’s actually that good. Rose White is an essential voice in the soul-jazz-pop space, and Sazerac is proof she’s only getting more commanding, more expressive, and more irresistible with each release.
