Following the retirement of The Soul Circle Gang, Rose continued her soul circle journey of exploring African music interposed with contemporary modern music, coining the term "Afropolitan Melodies". Lara Rose & the Afropolitan Melodies incorporate the Yoruba language into soulful melodic songs stripped down to voice and guitar accompaniment performed by Rose.
