As Ros Rain, Rose explores the genre of pop music. A little piece of Ireland occasionally accompanies her here too (sometimes a bodhrán takes its place on the drum chair, sometimes her voice “jigs” a little too Irish). But Ros Rain's sound can't really be pigeonholed in any other way either. During her “first pop apprenticeship year”, 4 singles were released.
