When speaking about his new EP, “Suddenly Okay”, Rose reveals, “‘Suddenly Okay’ is the first of 3 projects I’ll be releasing this year, narrating my experiences with love. This EP is about manifesting a future where you are healed from the pains of heartbreak. Last year was a very challenging year for me mentally, so I wanted this EP to be a beacon of transformation into a new chapter.”
On the title track, he says, “Suddenly Okay talks through the depressive state that often follows a breakup. It’s very easy to slip into a dark hole and wallow in it forever but, no matter how many people try to help, sometimes the only thing that can pull you out of that hole is if you saw that person again.

Starting April 5, Blake Rose will start “The Suddenly Okay Tour” in San Francisco. Marking his largest headline tour yet, Blake will visit over 15 cities including Seattle, Denver, Minneapolis, Chicago, Toronto, Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas, Phoenix, Los Angeles, and more, before concluding up on May 8 in San Diego.

After a dynamic 2023, highlighted by the launch of his second EP "You’ll Get It When You’re Older" (LISTEN), which NPR described as “a musical portrayal of growing up and gaining wisdom, curiosity, and regret”, with UPROXX proclaiming “If you haven’t been introduced to Perth export BlakeRose yet, get familiar.” Additionally, he made his debut on US Television, performing "Dizzy" from the EP on CBS’ The Late Late Show with James Corden, and joined Lauren Spencer Smith on her SOLD-OUT tour across North America and Australia.
"You’ll Get It When You’re Older" serves as the successor to Blake’s debut EP, "A World Gone By", released in 2021. With each subsequent release, Blake's repertoire expands, highlighting his skillful lyricism and knack for crafting infectious hooks and memorable melodies. This is evident in his substantial listener base, which has accumulated over 350 million streams across all his releases.
Praised by V Man as "an artist to watch," Blake Rose’s sonic identity is grounded in vibrant and lush arrangements, offset by sparse beat-craft, off-kilter plugins, in-the-box wizardry, and soulful intonation. Within a span of just over a year, Blake Rose transitioned from busking on the streets of Perth to becoming one of the most promising new talents to emerge in recent years. He first captured attention with self-penned, self-produced gems like his debut track "Hotel Room" and the subsequent "Lost," further fueling his growing reputation.
Stay tuned for more new music, coming soon.
