Lily Rose Is Redefining What It Means to Be a Country Artist: 'I Was Put on Earth to Break Barriers'

Lily Rose will be the first to tell you that her name — yes, it’s her actual name — has hardly been a perfect fit. “I wrestled with it for a long time,” the 30-year-old artist tells PEOPLE. “It’s such a juxtaposition of who I am, just with so much masculine energy and fierce and intense, and I always thought ‘Lily Rose’ was just so dainty.” Lately, though, she’s started singing a different tune — literally — about that problematic name. The song is called “Two Flowers,” and it’s one of six stellar tracks on her just-released EP, Runnin’ Outta Time.
