Chelsea Rose – “Be Yrself”

Today Chelsea Rose shares the video for “Be Yrself,” a standalone (and standout) single released in advance of her upcoming 12″ Truth or Consequences, to be released early next year on Paul Is Dead Records.

Chelsea’s sultry voice effortlessly carries the catchy ditty with a groovy guitar solo and a toe-tappin’ rhythm.

“Be Yrself” was written and recorded pre-Covid. It serves as a reminder for me (and hopefully others) that it’s okay to take up space, to be big, and to shine. Shortly after I wrote this song I received a request from my publisher to submit a song for a TV show about “being yourself.” There was a short deadline so I hit up the boys of Indigo State (Gabriel Barraza/guitar, Nico Vasquez/drums, Alex Grant, bass) and we stayed up all night one night arranging and recording the song in my basement with Evan Mui (my friend and co-founder of Paul Is Dead Recs) as our engineer. We finished in time but we didn’t get the placement. The song was tucked away for a while, but now is the time to let it shine, baby!

I made the music video with my friend Jenn Georgieff (who I worked with another video “Melt with Me”).
In the past I’ve been self critical and maybe thought too hard about making music instead of letting it flow. To me, this song is about letting it be easy, and just being yourself!
