V. Rose is the eponymously titled debut studio album from Christian music recording artist V. Rose. The album released on August 16, 2011 through Clear Sight Music. It was re-released February 25, 2013 as The Electro-Pop Deluxe featuring a second disc with six extra tracks.
During her teenage years, V. Rose founded the group Harmony with childhood friend. When V. Rose was 15, producer SPEC signed the group to Spechouse Media, but Harmony soon folded in 2005. After the disbandment of Harmony, Dare signed to Spechouse as a solo artist, and she eventually appeared on two songs by FLAME on his album Captured, including the hit single "Captured". She subsequently signed to FLAME's Clear Sight label, and released V. Rose through that label in 2011.
Critics found the musical style on V. Rose to be a mixture of pop, hip hop, R&B, rock, gospel, and electronic dance music, and compared it to Britt Nicole, Jamie Grace, Katy Perry, Krystal Meyers, Miley Cyrus, Michael Jackson, and Selena Gomez. Louder Than the Music described the opening song, "Not Ashamed", as falling "into the same bracket as J-Lo, mixed with the female vocalists from Glee" and the song "Run That Way" as having "a Shakira sound to it." New Release Tuesday described the song "Not So Average" as reminiscent of Mary J. Blige, "Christian Girl" as evoking Ke$ha, Avril Lavigne, and Mýa, "Hater" as "Alicia Keys/Pink-like" and "Dear Adam" and "Let's Go Home" as similar to Michael Jackson. Jesus Freak Hideout stated that "the pop, R&B, and rock sound on the album's opening track is used much throughout the entire release, and said that Dare "should soon find herself among the elite in that great radio-play-type of girl-power-pop sound." New Release Tuesday described V. Rose as ranging from "rock to pop to R&B to rap to straight-up, old-school Gospel." Louder Than the Music said that "This album jumps from very girly-girly bubblegum pop to big dance anthems with big bass tones and big drum beats." Christian Music Zine stated that "Throughout the album you’ll find yourself thinking you’re listening to a pop album, a hip hop album or a jazzy gospel album".
