Rose Starring steps into the eerie, autumnal air with ‘Take It to the Grave,’ a grand dark synth-alt-pop track that feels perfectly timed for the haunting vibes of November and the lingering chill of Halloween. Following up her breakout single Gravedigger, Rose doubles down on the heartbreak-turned-empowerment theme, channeling lingering anger into a cinematic, synth-heavy soundscape.
The track is a deliciously bitter declaration: wishing her former lover a lifetime of silence from the love she once gave them. Written and produced entirely by Rose herself, it showcases her control over her craft—melding emotive songwriting with lush synth textures that thrum with tension and intensity. Her vocals cut through the layers with a mix of vulnerability and steel, making every lyric feel both personal and universal. Fans of synth-pop with a dark edge, think of the emotional resonance of early Chvrches or Broods infused with the attitude of a modern alt-pop auteur.
Take It to the Grave isn’t just a breakup song; it’s an atmospheric experience, an emotional exorcism wrapped in icy synths and grand production. Rose Starring proves once again why her self-produced work continues to resonate—61k streams on her EP Stages of Grief and over 267k on her Charlotte Day Wilson cover already hint at a devoted fanbase ready for this next chapter. With her second EP slated for summer 2026, this single sets the stage for an even darker, more cinematic evolution of her sound.
Rose Starring’s Take It to the Grave is dark, cathartic, and unapologetically powerful
