Second impressive single from young Salisbury singer-songwriter Rosie Jay is released today. Sing Another Love Song; a sound of the summerโฆ..
Her debut breakup track I Don’t Give a Damn, had an interesting hook, this has too, but is far more optimistic, and eternally beguiling. It is, technically, the better of the two, revealing a potential for eminence in its confident and outstanding delivery.ย
If it hints of connotations the infatuation of the theme is one-sided on the part of the author, itโs open-ended for interpretation; maybe the love interest simply doesnโt share their passion for a good love song?! Thatโs their issue!
For thatโs what this is, breezy and cool, acoustic and pop-folky, with the perfect flowery scent of Kirsty MacColl in both theme, musically and vocally. Such is the magic of local producer Jolyon Dixon, to filter the inner superlative of an upcoming artist and nurture it to the forefront. And in such youโll hear a similarity with Rosie to his duo Illingworth with John Smith, should youโve caught them on our live music circuit. Then again, the whole gypsy-esque vibe, there’s hints of Irish, and I’m awarding the Corrs as another comparison; as with MacColl, these are high accolades indeed!
Here this now, itโll brighten up your day. Yet, gorgeous as this song is, with the blossoming potential it displays, I believe itโll be rudimentary in a short period of time, and the best of Rosie Jay is yet to come. You need to be here to hear it when it does.
