What The press are saying

ROSIE GAINES

 

YOU GAVE ME FREEDOM

 

  

ROSIE GAINES YOU GAVE ME FREEDOM /Dome Records release 23rd of Feb. 2004
ALBUM OF THE WEEK JAZZFM
ALBUM OF THE WEEK BLUES AND SOUL


‘….A number of tracks here surpass anything she’s cut before. Chief among these is a searingly sensuous ballad "Wanna Be"…the middle section of the song is a truly erotic countdown and if you’re not moved, you’ve a heart of stone. Countdown to ecstasy indeed!


…"I Can’t Get You Off My Mind" is a classic example of modern, sophisticated soul….yet it’s only one very good track on a superb album that gets 2004 off to a real flyer. Dome have triumphed again!’ – Bill Buckey, Blues & Soul 5/5


‘BEEN THERE (with Prince)

DONE THAT (with Motown)

Now Rosie Gaines is back…and how!

A soul masterpiece!’ - Terry Jones, soul 24/7


"In Spirit" has to be one of the best things she’s ever done – a glorious, echingly poignant six-minutes-plus soul ballad that would sound amazing in any musical era’ - Chris Wells, Echoes


Quite why any big company A&R guy’s wouldn't listen to a song like "RUN TO MY HEART" and realize that’s it's a huge singer/songwriter-style rock hit in the making I have no idea. – Chris Wells, Echoes


"IN SPIRIT" Rosie sings like her life depended on it a soul masterpiece right out the top drawer

Great songwriters create memorable melodies and lyrics, that escape us mere mortals. Rosie Gaines and Scott Gibson are among the elite

Dome press release on the new Rosie Gaines album release "You Gave Me Freedom"

 

Rosie Gaines resumes her recording career with a new self-produced collection "You Gave Me Freedom".

It's her first major album since her Motown 'Closer Than Close' release – the album which led to her 250,000-selling remix single of the title track in 1998. "You Gave Me Freedom" is a 14-song set written, arranged, performed and produced by Rosie.

The California-based vocalist and keyboard player, who established herself as a key member of Prince's New Power Generation with her powerful vocals on such songs as ‘Diamonds and Pearls' and ‘Nothing Compares 2 U', has been writing constantly over the past five years. She has written a Grammy Award-winning song for Patti Labelle and has also written material for Mavis Staples.

She was featured as a guest with Snoop Dogg on the 2002 Bootsy Collins album ‘Play With Bootsy', and several of the tracks on the new album have a definite P-funk influence.

In recent months the opening cut from the album, ‘I Can't Get You Off My Mind', has become a firm favorite of UK soul DJs following its inclusion on the Hidden Beach compilation ‘Hidden Hits'.

The album, which is licensed to Dome via Rosie's own production company Dredlix Music, is attracting airplay on a number of cuts, including the exquisitely soulful ‘Honeychild' and the steamy sexuality of ‘Wanna Be'. Also featured is Rosie's own take on ‘My Man', the classic song long associated with Billie Holiday.
