Charlotte Dos Santos is back with a new single, ‘Roses,’ marking her first release since last year’s Neve Azul EP. The Brazilian-Norwegian artist continues to refine her signature blend of alternative R&B, jazz-leaning soul, and airy experimental pop, delivering something that feels both intimate and effortlessly cool. It’s been a minute since her last project, but with ‘Roses’ it’s like she never really left the mood she’s been building.

You can hear shades of Solange in the understated confidence and spacious production, where nothing feels rushed or overworked. At the same time, her vocal delivery drifts into that celestial, almost otherworldly register that brings Minnie Riperton to mind—light, expressive, and emotionally precise without ever tipping into excess.

The single follows her contribution to Blood Orange’s Essex Honey and reinforces her place in that experimental soul-adjacent world. ‘Roses’ doesn’t try to reinvent her sound so much as deepen it, leaning into atmosphere, restraint, and emotional ambiguity in a way that feels very her.
