THERE is nothing quite like a fundamental change of perspective.

Change is not something that comes easy to most people; events that challenge who we are can often be unsettling.

Yet, anything capable of altering a person’s entire frame of mind must be reckoned with – and lessons learned should always be embraced.

For Roma Rose, the shift came as she welcomed her daughter into the world.

Though a joyous occasion, the new responsibilities came complete with questions about her own creative output. She began to question whether she should continue to make music at all, but not for long.

She says: “I wasn’t sure what my place would be – should be – in the music industry after becoming a mother.

“I was originally going to hide it. Why should it be relevant?

“But after lengthy discussions with Jess [Jessica Sharman – co-writer/producer], we decided to challenge this instinct and the fear of not being as creatively creditable after having children.

“Music is all-consuming,” she added. “So is being a parent. So I’m embracing both worlds together, in all their messiness.”

The singer feels that in order to set the best example for her child, she must continue to chase her dreams and if that means writing, recording and releasing new material, then that is what she will do.

And so, equipped with a renewed sense of purpose, Roma Rose – aligned with an all-female team around her – set out to explore her new perspective through music.

In September this year, she released In My Head, a song about not feeling your truest self.

For Roma, it was originally inspired by industry meetings, where she felt invisible and at the same time frustrated that she wasn’t letting her guard down.

But it has recently taken on a new meaning for her, since becoming a parent.

She says: “I love being a mum more than anything, but never felt I fitted the mould of who a mother should be.

“I didn’t know how to connect my real self with this new life and this new person I had become – a mother.”

At the end of October she then released her follow-up single How to Feel which explores the universal feeling of anxiety when life overtakes you, and the strange solace of knowing so many feel the same when faced with life’s big moments.

Roma adds: “When I brought my newborn home, I had this overwhelming feeling that I shouldn’t have been allowed to leave the hospital.

“How the hell am I supposed to look after this little life, when I am broken?”

This week, the singer will complete the triptych as she unveils her third track of the year in the form of Stay Like This.

Her latest single is described as a “modern-day love song” that encourages everyone to live in the moment and shed those expectations of we should be.

It was originally written through the eyes of her young daughter and looks at letting everything go to find a certain sense of freedom.

Stay Like This was released on Friday, November 27.
