Oh, Rose - "Baby"

"25, Alive," the previous single from Olympia, WA's Oh, Rose is a fairly straightforward indie rock song with loud/quiet/loud parts and lots of fuzzy guitars. The follow up, "Baby," is a completely different type of song. It's still an indie rock song, but it's almost an indie rock meets jazz standard song. The focus is completely on singer Olivia Rose's vocals, which are powerful in their own way. At least, that's how the song goes for the first half. After that, the rock breaks in and turns this into an almost grunge power ballad. Rose's vocals are still the focus, even with the louder instrumentation. This upcoming album could be a sleeper album of the year contender.

You can listen to "Baby" below. While My Father Sleeps, the upcoming album from Oh, Rose, will be out on August 23 via Park the Van. You can pre-order the album here. For more on Oh, Rose, check out their Facebook and Twitter.
