The next release from new artist Ysl Moonrose will be a soft, slow, sad indie rock/bedroom pop track called “Hope Burns.”
The song drops on her birthday, October 26.
In the YouTube introduction to the song, she tells people who feel depressed, lost or hopeless, “You should listen to this song.”
“I want to tell people that there are things you wish for, dreams are not going to come true, but good things will happen,” she said.
She sings:
I thought I had it all
I was so close
Now I lost it all (now I lost it all)
But at the end of the song and its litany of disappointments and broken dreams, and in the face of her defiance, she urges her listeners, “Let hope burns.”
She began making music after graduating from high school in North Miami in 2020, releasing three songs on the same day, “Call for Change,” “Quarantine” (inspired by the pandemic), and “Holy Angel.”
Her genres are alt and indie rock, pop punk, hip-hop, rap and bedroom pop, which she defines as a smooth, dreamy genre. It comes out clearly on “Hope Burns.”
“I really do like the song. When I feel depression, or get bad news, or feel hopeless or lost, and I think about how we don’t get things we wanted, and sometimes we do get things that we didn’t want and didn’t wish for, I think about how good things will happen at the end.”
That’s hope, still burning.
Her musical influences, she says, are D4vd, The Kid Laroi, Skipknot, Blink-182, Dethklok, Foo Fighters, Avril Lavigne, Machine Gun Kelly, Glaive, Olivia Rodrigo, BK The Rula, Taylor Swift and Maneskin.
Her focus now is getting her music out and getting it heard. She wants it to blow — blowing up on YouTube and social media. Her goal is to go nationwide.
“I believe in my heart that music is what I need to do. I have believed in music since I was a kid, and I have been making music since after my high school graduation. I want to do that, and I believe my experience and knowledge of the music that I love definitely sets me apart from other artists.”
She is attending F.I.R.S.T., an institute of digital arts, studying recording arts and show production. This year, she collaborated with Blud Kush on a song called “Ghost Light,” released in September on YouTube and BandLab.
Her immediate drive is to get “Hope Burns” out to people. Next, she said, “I would be looking for a music manager who would assist me in my dream. That is what is next for me.”
She is working on an album, with eight tracks planned, called DEADBOY. That album, she said, will drop sometime next year and will have songs in various genres, including indie rock, alternative rock, hip-hop/rap, pop punk and emo rap.
