Perspective
Alessandra Rose Jones[1] was born on 27 October[2] 2002[3] and is from Littleover in Derby in the East Midlands.[4] She began writing angsty poetry at the age of 13[5] and later studied poetry at university in London.[6] That same year, she started uploading videos to YouTube[7] and then to an Instagram account she created specifically to block her entire year group.[5] Towards the end of the COVID-19 lockdown in the United Kingdom, she taught herself music production using a cracked version of Logic Pro X[8] and a fifteen-year-old Mac.[4] She released her debut single, the self-written and self-produced "Say Ur Mine",[9] in June 2023.[10] She followed it in October with "Hate This Part", a track about leaving her hometown, before performing her first show, a support slot for Ella Jane.[7] In January 2024, she released a third track, "Eat Me Alive",[8] an alt-pop song.[6] By April and July, she had also released the single "Break Me"[3] and the EP Rumination as Ritual;[5] the latter included "Crush!", a track about fantasies involving a love interest.[11] That August, she supported Noah Kahan on the Belfast date of his 2024 tour.[12]
In September 2024, she released "Oh My", an alt-pop song about being nervous to open up to a new partner.[13] The following month, she announced her second EP, For Your Validation, and released "Imsochillandcool", a track about feelings she had about an ex-partner who had entered a new relationship.[14] A further single, "Pretty World", was written during her first few live shows about what she felt immediately after finishing a gig and was released in December 2024.[15] That month, she signed to Warner Chappell Music[16] and was listed on Ticketmaster's Breakthrough 2025 list alongside KiLLOWEN, Myles Smith, Orla Gartland, Sammy Virji, Sienna Spiro, and Swim School,[17] who described her works as indie pop.[10]
In January 2025, she released "Start All Over", a track about wanting a crush to make the first move and the fourth single from For Your Validation,[18] followed by "Don't Ask Questions".[19] She also released For Your Validation that month, which was reviewed positively by Dork[20] and UCLA Radio and contained all five singles and "IKYK".[9] To celebrate its release, she invited a random small group of fans and stan accounts to a listening party.[9] It was announced in February 2025 that she would support Tate McRae for 20 dates on her Miss Possessive Tour[21] and in April that she would support Dua Lipa for all 23 dates on the European leg of her Radical Optimism Tour.[22]
In May 2025, Rose released another single, "Same Mouth", via Capitol Records and Polydor Records, and announced her third EP, Voyeur, which released in July 2025.[23] The EP was called such as she felt listeners would become voyeurs of her innermost thoughts and feelings and because she felt she was a voyeur of herself and her decisions.[24] She then announced a European tour called Voyeur Tour to accompany the EP, which is set to run from September to December.[25] A further single, the alt-rock track "That Could Be Me", was released in June, and was about being in love with someone who was in love with someone else.[24]

Perspective
Rishi Shah of NME described her as the "Derbyshire Olivia Rodrigo",[26] while Emily Savage of DIY wrote that her vocals "recall a sound that lies somewhere between Gracie Abrams and Nieve Ella"[11] and Jenessa Williams of The Forty-Five described "Pretty World" as a combination of "country, baroque-pop and the melodramatics of emo".[27] Both Rumination as Ritual[9] and For Your Validation were written about Jones's OCD,[14] with the former also exploring her tendency to ruminate[9] and the latter exploring feelings of wanting to be told she is normal.[14] By January 2025, she was routinely being compared to Olivia Rodrigo and Gracie Abrams, though Stuart Clark of Hot Press wrote that month that her voice owed as much to Kate Bush as it did to Rodrigo and Abrams.[28] In an interview that month, Stephen Loftin of Dork described her works as pop rock and Jones stated that she was inspired to be open about her OCD by Abrams, who had been similarly candid about hers,[6] having discovered her in 2016 via Instagram Explore.[5] The visuals for Rumination as Ritual were inspired by The Virgin Suicides.[5]
Growing up, Jones was also a fan of quirky lyrics, such as those by Kate Bush and Lorde,[5] of "artists who love bridges and lengthy, lyrical songs" such as Taylor Swift,[9] and of Chappell Roan.[29] Jones's social media bios have made use of the phrase "If people don't want me to write songs about them, they shouldn't do bad things",[5] a quote Swift prefaced performances of "Forever & Always" with during her Fearless Tour.[9] Jade Wickes of The Face wrote that "Same Mouth" "echoes early Taylor Swift, only with hornier lyrics".[30] In an April 2024 interview with Laura Molloy of NME, she stated that she was also "heavily influenced" by the girl power-imbued teen pop that had been popular in the 2000s, and Molloy wrote of Jones that she was "keen to embrace the messiness inherent to girlhood through confessional, high-octane pop anthems".[3] She was a member of Loud LDN in July 2023.[31]
