Barnes & Noble - Ganda Suthivarakom
At first, Rosey's smoky, blue-eyed soul and torch-song chord changes bring to mind Fiona Apple or Shelby Lynne on antidepressants. But deeper listening to her debut album reveals Rosey's true hue: Her gutsy, rootsy mixture of rock and R&B suggests a sexy, grown-up Pink. Producer Darryl Swann gets this party started with the same blend of layered vocals, orchestral string flourishes, swirly organs, and funky bass lines he employed on Macy Gray's The Id, but it's Rosey, with her sensual swagger, who shines here. On "Love," first featured on the Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack, she croons over a mid-tempo dance beat, while on "One," she seductively whispers, ...

At first, Rosey's smoky, blue-eyed soul and torch-song chord changes bring to mind Fiona Apple or Shelby Lynne on antidepressants. But deeper listening to her debut album reveals Rosey's true hue: Her gutsy, rootsy mixture of rock and R&B suggests a sexy, grown-up Pink. Producer Darryl Swann gets this party started with the same blend of layered vocals, orchestral string flourishes, swirly organs, and funky bass lines he employed on Macy Gray's The Id, but it's Rosey, with her sensual swagger, who shines here. On "Love," first featured on the Bridget Jones's Diary soundtrack, she croons over a mid-tempo dance beat, while on "One," she seductively whispers, "Pretty please, sugar sweet,/I wanna be the one you come running to" over a hip-grinding bass groove à la Janet Jackson's "That's the Way Love Goes." Like Pink, Rosey sings lyrics that hint at a girlish wish for validation in other people's eyes -- she recalls Grandma's encouraging words to her "girlchild" on "The Time," while "Beautiful" finds her yearning to feel as beautiful as she did when she was loved by someone. She's at her best, however, when the lyrics match the confidence of the music, as on the rocked-out "Desperate," where Rosey chides a former lover with lyrics like, "Don't treat the one you love like a criminal." With the imaginative Dirty Child, Rosey has announced herself as a colorful and intriguing new voice.
All Music Guide - MacKenzie Wilson
Rosey's cosmic funk on her debut album, Dirty Child, is inspired by this world's most basic need: love. She soaks herself in its beauty and works against its complexities for a magical carpet ride of emotion. It's distinctly focused with an urban appeal while rooted in rock, and a bit comparable to the likes of Poe, Fiona Apple, and Beth Orton. Rosey writes from the heart and it works brilliantly. The narratives of passion, loss, and personal understanding are bold without being naïve. The glossy-cool "Love" struts around blues-tinged beats and lite string arrangements for a spiritual inquisition. "Afterlife" jubilantly follows for a psychedelic celebration of good karma. Rosey attempts to find her own on Dirty Child by expressing her greatest joys, but she's equally free in expressing her frustrations. "Beautiful" is an impressive orchestrated number seeking self-acceptance, while the Lenny Kravitz-like "Desperate" takes a haunting look at an abusive relationship. The sensual, steamy "Like a Dream" is a bright moment, for producer Daryle Swann captured Rosey's most uninhibited stance and she hit her inner core with a velvet touch. Dirty Child is a striking move for this one-time A&R rep. She's independent of corporate monotony because she's already aware of the business. Dirty Child is Rosey's autobiographical sketch and an ultra-groovy effort as well.
