Comprising seven tracks and spanning just under 23 minutes, the album takes listeners on a nuanced conceptual journey through a diverse sonic spectrum. In this record, Anna Rose ventures into new territory with her voice and instrumental structures, pushing the boundaries of her artistry. She felt compelled to tell this particular story and penned most of the tracks alone, seeking a level of authenticity and urgency in her songwriting. During the making of “Last Girl of the Rodeo,” Anna Rose enlisted the expertise of Grammy-nominated producer and engineer Paul Moak, who previously worked with her on “The Light Between.” Together, they created an environment without boundaries, free from the influence of labels or managers. This freedom allowed Anna Rose to explore a whole new sonic world, transcending the analog realm and incorporating sounds she had always longed to hear in her music. Although this departure from her usual guitar and piano-driven compositions initially brought discomfort, it also ignited a genuine excitement as she discovered new sonic possibilities. The process behind “Last Girl of the Rodeo” was a quest for integrity. Anna Rose delved into the concept of living and working with integrity, exploring the alignment of thoughts, words, and actions. Stripping back the layers of her ego, she arrived at a place where she could create a truly authentic record, free from the paradigms that had influenced her in the past. This album represents Anna Rose’s unapologetic pursuit of her own hopes and dreams, aiming to present the most truthful version of herself to the world. She openly expresses her discomfort with the current state of the music industry, where artistic expression often seems contingent on appearance. In her quest to be the best commercial artist she could be, she realized that she had sacrificed a significant part of herself. With “Last Girl of the Rodeo,” Anna Rose reclaims that authenticity and gives herself permission to create music that reflects her truth. One of the standout tracks from the album is “Already Gone,” a compelling blend of alt-rock and country folk that builds to a classic-rock climax. This self-reflective song tells the story of staying in a situation that should have ended long ago. Anna Rose describes the process of writing “Already Gone” as a deeply personal and painful experience, one that required a level of honesty that could only be expressed through song. “Already Gone” joins a roster of previously released singles from the upcoming album, including “Pray To The Trees,” “Alameda,” “Back On My Bullshit,” and “Whatever Gets You Through The Night.” Each track showcases Anna Rose’s ability to dig deep into her soul, unearth the unvarnished truth, and deliver it beautifully to her audience. Her expert musicianship and vulnerability shine through, leaving a lasting impact on listeners. With over a decade of captivating performances and a talent for seamlessly blending genres, Anna Rose has established herself as a remarkable singer, songwriter, and guitarist. However, what truly sets her apart is her refreshing vulnerability and her willingness to lay herself bare in her music. With “Last Girl of the Rodeo,” Anna Rose embarks on a journey of self-discovery and truth-telling, creating an autobiographical concept record that reveals her rawest emotions. This is the record she had to make, free from pretenses or expectations, where the truth takes center stage.
