Rose Redd –
The Healing EP
CD/DL
Out Now
Wolverhampton’s
singer songwriter Rose Redd returns with her new EP.
When Rose
Redd released her single Girl In The Café earlier this year, there was a talent
that hiapop Blog spotted even though the single may have hinted that the
song was not her best. There was
undoubted talent shining through which showed immense promise, given the time
to evolve. The time taken to evolve seems
to have been much shorter than anyone could have imagined, and The Healing EP
clearly demonstrates a style that Rose is very clearly comfortable with.
The title
track, represented by a Radio Edit and a Magic Garden Extended Mix is an
infectious pop-rock affair where Rose’s mature lyrics are given the chance to
roar out loud over a pounding backing.
The song layout is like all great songs, simple enough with a traditional
verse, chorus, and bridge order making it instantly appealing.
Rose
displays a song writing talent well beyond her 20 years with an ear for an
essential hook and an eye for a style to call her own, and it’s refreshing to
come across someone loving what they do and following their true yearning.
Another new
track Breath In has a superb bassline that continues throughout, bubbling and
threatening to break free. Again,
showing her powerful voice, its track that could actually be a single in its
own right as it glides through another guitar based track
What is
interesting is the inclusion of two versions of Girl In The Café. Here in amongst rockier affairs, the track is
given a new lease of life and sits with a new meaning acting as a transition to
another metaphorical string which one feels Redd has in abundance in her
bow. How a clever bit of track listing
can transform a song.
It’s pleasing
to see that Rose has taken time to consider her future without necessarily
forgetting her past as she clearly has a talent that deserves to be heard. There could well be some big things to come.
