Karolina Rose offers a taste of forthcoming EP with the power-pop of "Crystal Gem"

Like the rest of INVICTA, "Crystal Gem" was produced by Andros Rodriguez (Madonna, Shakira, Florence + The Machine), whose weighty style contrasts glittering topnotes with a dark, driving beat at the song's core. Rose's voice is deep and sure, the measured eye of a tumultuous musical storm. It shines to its fullest extent on the track's bridge, laid bare as the instrumentation falls away behind it.

INVICTA marks the beginning of a life-changing career pivot for Rose, who has walked away from a Wall Street investment industry role in order to pursue her musical dreams full-time. The Polish-American artist released her first single in 2017, and INVICTA is the long-awaited first collection of her work.
