Arrica Rose – The Tone Bank

The three song EP The Tone Bank totally blew me away! Arrica Rose is a totally amazing artist.

This EP starts with the incredibly strong, yet strange Under Water Baby, a very powerful song that comes out of nowhere and just hits you and leaves you breathless. It’s followed by a more relaxed, yet equally powerful piece called Almost Pretty and closes with the beautiful Pisces.

The performance is so incredible that it takes several listens before realizing that there are no drums or basses. Her beautiful voice, one of the best I’ve heard, guitars, Casio sounds and Yamaha synth.

What hit me most while listening to this is that this lady has a special indefinable quality. If you’ve never heard of Alanis Morissette and then you hear one of her songs, you immediately understand that the woman is above the rest and that she’s going places. Arrica Rose possesses this same quality.

But, in order to confirm this, I asked her for more music. She obliged by sending me her self-titled debut EP.

This one doesn’t have the Casio tones, but is still nonetheless quite impressive. It did confirm that she does possess the peculiar and particular something that great artists possess. She even managed to make me like House of the Rising Sun.

Get Arrica Rose right now. Who will be the next great diva? For my money, it’s Arrica Rose.
