Christina Perri - songs for rosie (2021) Hi-Res

“This is my first time talking about it,” Perri tells. “I have done so much work to be able to talk about it. I feel not just ready to talk about it—I want to. I want to be that voice.”

Perri’s voice is, of course, what made her famous, beginning with her breakout hit “Jar of Hearts” more than a decade ago. Now she’s using it to aid in her healing by releasing an album of lullabies on November 24—the anniversary of the day Rosie died—called Songs for Rosie, an achingly beautiful tribute to a painfully short life.

“This record means the most to me because it carries forever the narrative—the correct narrative—that she exists,” says Perri. It also builds upon Perri’s legacy of commemorating her love for her children via song.
