The mellow voice of CD Rose is addictive, and the latest track of hers she calls "LGBT r&b Anthem." And "Nine Lives" absolutely sounds like one. Influenced by artists such as SZA, Alina Baraz, Kehlani, and Amy Winehouse, the Boston-based singer fuses r&b, soul, and jazz making her sound entirely her own.
"Nine Lives" is a romantic, soft piece that can easily pull you in and make you feel the urgent need to learn the lyrics right away. Well, let us help you with the first lines at least: "You were the shooter/I was in question/Taking your sentence love/I did it for you/I rallied the troops/I prayed up to God above."
