Artist Close-Up: Rosie Carney Leaves You Emotionally “Bare”
I always say music is more about moods than sounds. It is an influencer and reflector of where you are, in a moment, which is why every single person can have such an expansive, musical taste. In Rosie Carney’s Bare, she becomes the songstress for every time you wanted to hug your heart: not run away from it, deny its existence, or go crazy trying to elevate it. Instead, you want to put on your headphones and let if feel through song.
For her, Roside Carney the love that leaves your heart bare makes it true. This explains why healing is one of the most difficult topics to discuss because no one wants to admit they are hurt, and everyone has their own way to heal. Oddly enough, love can have the same effect on people. Thus, from pain to romance, Rosie’s voice holds both entities as if they are broken birds she is nursing to fly again; with awareness that they will always come and go in her life. Vocally, she has a hued register that pencils notes as if lyrics were meant to be visually drawn and sketched.
Rosie Carney is so light in her vocal approach while feeling purposeful, which, at times, people think is contrasting. The poignancy of Rosie Carney having such a delicate sound and voice is that she shows vulnerability is strength. The more open you are with life and love, the more armored you are to face it. Tracks like, “Awake Me,” “Your Love I Holy,” and “What You’ve Been Looking For” make declaring you are in love feel like the equivalent to pick up a sword. It is as if loving others makes you fight for yourself, and every stringed melody in this record appears like a sonic justification of this truth.
From “Orchid” to “Bud” she blossoms and picks her arrangements like flowers, which allows Bare to feel elegantly honest. For Rosie, her voice’s raw emotiveness lies in her capacity to cull and lull notes as if the more you reduce sounds and sentiments, the louder they become.
