Eytan Rosenman, aka e Rose, presents ‘8’, a conceptual album heavily influenced by the world of sports, particularly Kobe Bryant. Written to take listneers through the complexities of the human experience, the album draws inspiration from artists such as Kendrick Lamar, J. Cole, Tyler, The Creator, and Mac Miller. It explores themes of growth, introspection, life experience, and career aspirations. While the sonics and vocal styles vary, the message and emotional honesty remain at the core of the project’s identity. In an age where artistry is often overlooked, this project sets aside external expectations to allow for the purest form of creativity.
