December Rose - December Rose

by Kevin Wierzbicki

.
Pop singer December Rose has already proven herself to be quite versatile with her hit singles "Came Here to Party," a dance club favorite, and "Ball Game," a sprightly and extremely catchy pop tune that chronicles the foibles of a would-be Casanova and his eventual comeuppance. Now with the release of this self-titled EP Rose is showing a couple other facets of her musical personality. Contrary to "Ball Game" where she sounds like she's through with love affairs for a while, "Don't Give up on Love" is full of hope for better luck the next time, and delivered to a soaring, effervescent melody that also connotes positivity. "Understand" is also about the eventuality of finding love but here Rose sounds a little flirty as she delivers the song with soulful flair a la Shelby Lynne or Dusty Springfield. Another EP highlight is "Without You," a real tearjerker of a torch song and perhaps the most emotional cut on the record. "Ball Game" is included as is "Came Here to Party" in its original form and as a remix.
