Claiming as her two biggest influences “Bone Thugs N Harmony & Whitney Houston,” Hatian artist Devyn Rose is going deep into shoegazing ballet shoes. There’s a definite 90’s synth lushness to her tracks reminiscent of early Bobby Brown and Roxette, but her delivery is snappy and crisp. A model, dancer, and multi-instrumentalist with a #1 Billboard hit under her belt, Miss Rose has a lot going for her. Her silky voice and provocative lyrics make for an aural assault that speaks to the new generation of braniac b-boys and b-girls, and her new video for “Cops x The Jury” (streaming) is a call to arms fit for the most raucous club dance floor. – BrokeMc
