Dear Rosa, the song is great. You sing really nice as always. Arrangement is fine.  You need to comment, like and follow to more  artists on sc - so that they will know about you.  As you become more involved in the soundcloud community, more people will listen to your recordings

Beautiful ! All your songs are mapping a multi-faceted universe and a very delicate, personal and inspired body of work through folk, blues, dream-pop, and many more. They are filled with echoes of Joni Mitchell, Rickie Lee Jones, Rosie Thomas, Jane Siberry and a whole dynasty of independant female songwriters.

sweet voice delivery and production.   lovely guitar too.  

Nice melody, very pure acoustic sound, very nice voice. Great production

I really like the ethereal vocals on your tracks. You blend them so well with your guitar. This song, to me, could be a Stevie Nicks demo. Great stuff.

My new single ‘Wildfires’. I wanted this one to have a bit more of a contemporary feel so I added a more obvious trap beat. Please listen all the way through to hear the full crescendo of the song, it’s worth it I promise. I like the way it came out; it’s melancholic but has a vaguely uplifting feel to it because of the drum loop. As always, I wrote, recorded, mixed and produced this all myself with my acoustic guitar, my 80s synth and some electronic drum loops. This song is about a type of drink, see if you can guess which one. I also made a video for this which you can check out on my YouTube channel. The link is on my profile. Please let me know what you think, I am very grateful for any feedback you may have. And thank you for your continued support. I don’t get paid for any of this but just knowing people enjoy it is payment enough for me. <3

Lyrics:
I sail down the poison river
Where sloe blackthorn does glide
Down where he resides
Plymouth dry, feels like paradise

I will drown in the delights of juniper 
Till I see the golden lights up high
Drink his venom
London dry, feels like Heaven 

Cos I’ve got black clouds in the skies of my mind
Yeah I’ve got wildfires around everything I like

Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

I lie in the stupor of all my nights
Thinking about his bright light
My love, my Old Tom
Navy dry, feels like Zion

Cos I’ve got black clouds in the skies of my mind
Yeah I’ve got wildfires around everything I like

Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

La la la I love you
La la la I love you
La la la I love you Old Tom 

Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Cos I’ve got black clouds in the skies of my mind
Yeah I’ve got wildfires around everything I like

Hallelujah 
Hallelujah
Hallelujah
Hallelujah

Wildfires

Clutching at the coattails of gothic folk, Rosa Lavenne delivers a dreamy sound with melancholic lyricism. Heavy on reverbed synths, as well as the folk traditions of fingerstyle guitar and melodic harmonies, mean that Rosa stands at the crossroads between tradition and modernism. The intricate fingerstyle guitar and natural vibrato of Joan Baez combined with the ethereal sadness and dreampop inclinations of Marissa Nadler is one way to describe the sound of Rosa Lavenne. Under the influence of the acoustic masters such as Leonard Cohen, Townes Van Zandt, Sandy Denny and Bob Dylan, Rosa Lavenne adds her unique twist on folk pop melancholia. 

Rosa has been played multiple times on national radio (BBC Wales) and has been featured in the British folk magazine Folk Radio UK. She has been compared to folk greats such as Joni Mitchell, Stevie Nicks and Sandy Denny. 

It is important to Rosa that her art is entirely her own which is why she writes, records and produces all the sounds entirely herself. She frequently sings about the loneliness and hopelessness of youth as well as heartbreak, love loss and a longing to return to the past. Like herself, Rosa’s music is introspective, pensive and, at times, pretty gothic. She hopes listeners will come and explore this world with her.
