Rosé Blends Lana Del Rey and Paul Simon in Stunning Howard Stern Medley
Rosé’s Memorable Appearance on the Howard Stern Show
A Solo Showcase
Rosé made a captivating appearance on the Howard Stern Show, bringing her unique flair as a solo artist. The illustrious singer from Blackpink not only performed her hit single, the Bruno Mars-assisted track “APT,” but also creatively blended songs from iconic artists in a special medley.
Medley Performance
In a memorable moment, Rosé mixed Lana Del Rey’s “Norman Fucking Rockwell” and Paul Simon’s “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” delivering a captivating cover titled “50 Ways to Leave Your Norman.” This fusion felt seamless, highlighting Rosé’s versatility and artistic vision.
Unique Song Narratives
The two songs she combined share a thematic resonance. Rosé started with a reflective take on “Norman Fucking Rockwell,” capturing the essence of a self-absorbed poet. As she sang, “You talk to the walls when the party gets bored of you,” the lyrical depth set a contemplative tone.
Transitioning smoothly into “50 Ways to Leave Your Lover,” she incorporated insightful advice, singing, “You just slip out the back, Jack.” Her soulful interpretation added a funky edge, creating an engaging listening experience.
Behind the Scenes of “APT”
During her appearance, Rosé shared insights about the original demo of “APT” before Bruno Mars added his signature touch. The initial verses also encouraged an exit strategy, featuring lines like, “We’ve been talking seven days a week.” This glimpse into her creative process revealed the evolution of her work.
Upcoming Showcases
"Apt." is part of Rosé’s debut solo album Rosie, released in December. Fans are eager to see her perform at upcoming events, including the Global Citizen Festival in New York City this weekend.
