Rose: “Two of my greatest sources of inspiration are Edith Wharton and Charo"

Rose is proud to announce that on January 21st, at NYC's Metropolitan Room, the celebrated Clifford Carter (Art Garfunkel, James Taylor, Linda Ronstadt, Natalie Cole, Bette Midler, Carly Simon, more) will be her Musical Director.

Singer Isabel Rose looks ahead to the New Year with the wind in her sails—following months of raves for her debut CD 'Swingin' From the Hip,' she has announced her first- ever Los Angeles concert for March 2nd at Catalina's, and New York performances at The Metropolitan Room (January 21st) and Blue Note (April 11th) have been set as well. In TheaterMania's Holiday Gift Guide, critic Andy Propst included Rose's track “I Enjoy Being a Girl" among songs by such famed artists as Liza Minnelli, Betty Buckley, Barbara Cook and others. In a recent interview feature in ShowBiz Chicago, multi-hyphenate Rose is praised as being perhaps “one of the last true Renaissance artists of our time." This week, the Indie Music site WildysWorld chose Rose's acclaimed CD “Swingin' From the Hip" as #24 on their list of the Top 60 CDs of 2010, and stated simply, “Rose will some day be a legend."

Isabel Rose's wonderfully funny interview with Showbiz Chicago follows—in it, she says, “Two of my greatest sources of inspiration are Edith Wharton and Charo." Learn more about the unusual personal story behind the album title, and more, below —

MORE ABOUT ISABEL ROSE:

Isabel Rose has moxie—the kind that made multi-hyphenates such as Ann-Margret, Peggy Lee and Bette Midler so appealing in years past. Rose's never-say-never attitude has carried her through many an odd challenge over the course of her fascinating career. Whether writing and starring in a major motion picture released by Samuel Goldwyn, getting a mega-deal from Doubleday for her debut novel, or composing and starring in an Off-Broadway musical adaptation of that novel, she's always found a way to make big things happen. Already praised by critics as a writer and actress, she achieves the hat trick with Swingin' from the Hip, her debut CD.

A natural performer, Rose has been praised as “vibrant" by Time Out New York and “Impressive" by The New York Times. Her recent show at Joe's Pub (5/10) sold out three weeks in advance.

Produced by Julian Fleisher, himself a popular figure in the New York nightclub scene, with arrangements by Jeff Klitz, Swingin' from the Hip is a cohesive and kicky collection that will take you by surprise and keep you smiling.

Track listing: Aquarius; Lovely Day; I Enjoy Being A Girl; Temptation; Hit Me With Your Best Shot; Haven't We Met; Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me; I Only Wanna Be With You; Boy Wanted; On The Street Where You Live; Thirteen Men; Ac-cent-tchu- ate the Positive; The Best Is Yet To Come.
