Rosy by Whitney K
Whitney K teases first new music since 2022’s acclaimed ‘Hard To Be A God’ with ‘Rosy’, an up-tempo travelogue built on a ‘Mony Mony’ rhythm that blossoms into a euphoric Smog-like haze before exploding into a guitar break that sounds like New Order before they discovered electricity.
That said, these snippets are just a passing moment; an unexpected diversion that has been re-routed by this modern day troubadour whose descriptive dialogues are filled with sketchy characters and rudimentary comment.
‘Rosy’ arrives from an intriguing underworld populated by passing strangers and half heard conversations, from impromptu situations that the beatnik traveller catches amid some recurring dreamlike memories.
