Being heavily involved in the underground music scene in New Zealand, the upcoming singer-songwriter/producer Alba Rose is bringing us a sneak peek of what can only be put as a fruitful music journey. The artist’s unique background in jazz, neo-soul genre, and live performance has brought a very solid, laid-back lounge vibe to this recording.
Alba Rose is not lacking stories. The unworded undercurrent is what made up for the unique flavor and soulfulness in her voice. There is something beautiful and liberating imprinted in the sound of “Eve” The song narrates around the theme of letting go and trust in the background of the ocean shore at sunset. A ballet dancer improvises to the sonics, bringing visual, live elements into this art project.
The laid-back, loungy vibe brings you to a corner cafe, having a meaningful conversation with friends or yourself. The live set also offers an interactive experience for the listeners to follow and submerge themselves into the wonderfulness.
Indie-pop meets neo-soul in a natural, subtle way. The influences brought up by the musicians are rooted in experience and history. “Eve” is a song you could listen to forever.
