Alessi Rose opens up to PEOPLE about her new body of work, saying it’s her “most introspective” music yet
The rising star recently performed at Glastonbury for the first time and is set to open for Tate McRae on tour this fall
“It’s the best, most special feeling in the world,” she says of connecting with her fans
Alessi Rose is leaning into her emotions.
While stopping by the UMusic Shop in Madrid days before the release of her latest single “Everything Anything,” the rising star opened up to PEOPLE about finding her truest self through her new music.
“Voyeur feels like the most quintessentially ‘me’ project that I have released so far. My next wave of music feels self-assured, formed through the sounds I have learned to love whilst spending more and more time in the studio working with my favorite people,” she says about the E.P.
“It’s pop music but it’s lyrically based in my most introspective, raw and sometimes uncomfortable thoughts,” she continues. “It also all just feels massive to me. I remember listening to the masters of all of the tracks whilst running over Williamsburg bridge and just feeling emotional and so proud of this thing I’d made.”

After supporting Dua Lipa on the European leg of her tour as an opening act, Rose is set to join Tate McRae as she plays in the U.S. this fall.
“My headline shows in New York and L.A. back in April had some of the most lively and passionate crowds I’ve ever performed for,” says the singer, who recently played at Glastonbury.
“I felt nervous up until the very last minute, which is very unlike me but the moment I stepped out, I felt back to normal and empowered and kind of emotional,” she adds about her festival set. “I’ve watched Glastonbury sets on TV with my parents for as long as I can remember, and now I get to perform too.”
While in Madrid, Rose performed at the Mad Cool Festival, which marked her first headlining show in Spain.
“They are some of the most passionate, energetic and loving people I am lucky to call fans of my music,” says Rose, who got to meet some of the fans at the UMusic Shop.
“It’s the best, most special feeling in the world,” she adds of seeing them sporting her merch and singing along to her music. “I am endlessly grateful that I get to be around them and understood by them. That’s why touring is my favorite part of all of this. I get to see them all.”
