Norwegian songstress Jenny Hval is back! She has released a new single from Iris Silver Mist -- out May 2 via 4Ad – the successor to 2022's Classic Objects. "To Be a Rose", the first single, is out now with a music video compiled by Jenny Berger Myhre. Watch below:

The intimate cut includes nods to Gertrude Stein in the lyrics. Hval describes "To Be a Rose" as "a restless pop structure."

"If about anything, 'To Be a Rose' is about how one thing becomes another thing, how we all come from somewhere and someone, and how this is stranger and more powerful than we think."
