'Lifestyles' captures Rosettes' signature style with a relaxed yet commanding groove. Featuring lush horn arrangements reminiscent of Isaac Hayes’ orchestrations, this track anchors the album in a timeless space where soulful melodies and sophisticated instrumentation intertwine.

Rosettes announce their debut album on Timmion Records, 'Lifestyles', a compelling journey into psychedelic soul, jazzy funk, and introspective grooves.

For the listener, it creates an experience that manages to be both sophisticated and raw to the bone.

Expanding on the sound they refined with their previous singles, this 10-track album captures the group in top form while crafting intoxicating sonic potions that pull you in.

Featuring standout tracks like the soulful opener 'The Call,' the Isaac Hayes-inspired title track 'Lifestyles,' and the introspective groover 'Spirals,' the album weaves together cinematic instrumentals, intricate horn arrangements, and deeply personal storytelling, courtesy of lead singer Tytti Roto.

Drawing inspiration from a range of vintage and contemporary masters – Cymande, SAULT, and Sade, to name a few – the rest of the eight-piece group doesn’t linger in the shadows. Instead, they make it their mission to position the groove front and centre.

The album closes with 'The Queen,' the sole instrumental track, which evokes the spirit of 1970s blaxploitation soundtracks with its wah-wah and fuzz guitars and jazzy changes. Every track on 'Lifestyles' is a testament to the Rosettes’ ability to craft genre-blending masterpieces that are as emotionally gripping as they are musically intricate. For fans of adventurous soul and funk, this album offers a rich and rewarding journey.
