Rose Cousins - We Have Made a Spark - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

Rózsa Farkas - Wholtemperiertes Cymbal [COMPACT DISCS] date 07/25/2006

JUNO award winner Rose Cousins is interested in the juxtaposition of things. Her new album, BRAVADO, peers behind the kinds of doors we tend to leave closed, [for better or worse, or both]. It is the sound of a heart trying to open. It is a bold swagger, a vulnerable facade. 'BRAVADO is an exploration of self-worth and an investigation into the nuances of our tough exteriors - why we act brave while feeling afraid, how we appear impressive while privately questioning our worthiness, how confidence shares space with shame.' Cousins' last project, Natural Conclusion, received much acclaim, including a Grammy nomination, a JUNO nomination for Songwriter of the Year, and 3 wins at the East Coast Music Awards. Rose's songs have appeared on Grey's Anatomy, Supergirl, Reign, Nashville, and others. She has shared stages with heroic songwriters such as Patty Griffin, Shawn Colvin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden & Ron Sexsmith.

Halifax singer-songwriter Rose Cousins finds insight in solitude and strength in numbers. Supported by a thriving Halifax music scene and welcomed by an equally vibrant Boston community, her album WE HAVE MADE A SPARK was made in the spirit of community and collaboration.  Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice, We Have Made A Spark feels as though Rose Cousins is singing for you, about your life. It is that sincerity that leads some to compare her to our most beloved songwriters, yet her delivery is distinctly Rose.InchThere is not a lyric, note or instrument out of place on the dark third album by East Coast folk-pop singer/songwriter Rose Cousins.
