Amidst the waves of the vibrant indie-pop music scene emerges a new artist with a nostalgic yet fresh sound. Rosanna, blending shimmering synth-pop with influential traces from folk and indie, recently unveiled her second single “Need You To Stay“, offering listeners a glimpse into her forthcoming EP.
Released on October 6, 2023, the single carries listeners through a familiar yet innovative journey into themes of love, desire, and resilience. “Need You to Stay” is crafted with the echo of 80s influences, combining a rich tapestry of emotive vocals, dark synth, and rhythmic R&B beats, while consciously aligning with contemporary pop sensibilities.
Rosanna and producer Alexander Comana (Miedo Total) have collaborated to shape a track that simultaneously radiates vulnerability and empowerment, all woven together with an irresistible, dance-inducing melody.
With lyrical hooks like, “I dreamt of you all my life, and now you’re here in my arms…this time I need you to stay,” the artist captures the nuances of rekindling a relationship with sincere emotional depth.
Navigating through the delicate balance of maintaining authenticity while exploring a playful and free sound, Rosanna manages to encapsulate moments of personal history and emotional experiences into her music. “Need You to Stay” is not merely a plea for love to remain but also symbolizes a recognition of its worthiness to be fought for.
The artist mentions that the creative process alongside Alex flowed organically, mutually seeking a sound that was both “fun, free and sexy” but also carried a “darkness” that indicated vulnerability and a sense of precariousness.
Rosanna’s previous single, “What It Takes To Leave,” was also a collaboration with Comana and was released earlier in 2023, establishing her initial foray into the music industry. As the artist explores themes of love, heartbreak, and resurrection within her work, she consistently intertwines a reflection of the complexities and dualities within our emotional landscapes.
With a wide array of influences, from the folk rhythms of Joni Mitchell to the alt-pop vivacity of Robyn, Rosanna’s music, while deeply introspective, also projects an outward celebration of the joy and exuberance found within youthful experiences.
Eager listeners can look forward to Rosanna’s full EP release and upcoming live dates, which are set to be announced soon, promising more immersive experiences into her evocative and emotionally rich musical world.
It remains clear that “Need You To Stay” not only serves as a testament to Rosanna’s burgeoning artistic talent but also as a promising glimpse into her future within the indie-pop domain.
