After 5 years in the music industry, [ARO](https://ingroov.es/vacare-adamare) (Aimée Osbourne) finally released her debut album, _Vacare Adamare_. The album, Latin for "to be free and loved," has gotten rave reviews, and as ARO share, "there’s a little something for everyone on the album.”
Moving away from her father’s sound, _Vacare Adamaré_ showcases a mix of synth-pop and alternative rock that firmly establishes ARO’s unique identity.
FLAUNT had the opportunity to talk to Osbourne about her sound, her message, and her journey.
**The first two songs on your LP have gotten rave reviews, what can we expect from the rest of_Vacare Adamare_?**
The album touches on a lot of genres that I have found influential, so I’d like to think that there’s a little something for everyone on the album.
**What kind of message do you hope a listener will get from your music?**
I would hope that the music would encourage listeners to connect with the most honest and vulnerable parts of themselves. Certain artists’ bodies of work have served as a soundtrack during some really challenging as well as some really incredible periods in my life. It would be a privilege to provide that for even just one person.
**Why has it taken so long from the start of your ARO project to the release of your first album?**
That’s a very complicated question for a number of reasons. The flip side of having a well known family name can sometimes attract individuals that tend to make assumptions & feel as though they are entitled to prove those assumptions in their favor. I tend to give people too many chances because I want to believe in everyone’s good. I also worked with some incredible people that helped get this album out there. Let’s just say you live and you learn, for that I am thankful.
**What was the process of making this LP like? What was your favorite part?**
The process was actually very fun because I got to travel to England to do some of the writing. England will always be nostalgic for me because it's where I grew up and where I discovered a lot of my influences. My favorite part was being able to collaborate with my team in LA – Jorge Elbrecht, Chris Coady, Andrew Hung & Chris Veres – we got to work at Sunset Sound Studios which has such an incredible history. We all had a really good time working together.
**What is your father’s influence, if any, on your music? Or on your decision to pursue music?**
He has always been incredibly supportive. That support within itself was a very encouraging influence.
**What are your goals for the future of your music?**
I want to keep experimenting and pushing myself beyond my comfort zone. I’m really passionate about collaborating with people. To be able to do that with some of my idols would be incredible, although I love working with people who are somewhat undiscovered as well.
