You may have heard her name or her songs being played on Plains FM from time-to-time and this wonder woman that I’m featuring today is Rosie Spearing AKA Alba Rose, former Corduroy. front woman who has recently taken on some new challenges by going solo and absolutely showering down her talent on the female music industry in NZ, proving to be an inspiration for many.
Alba is an indie-soul singer-songwriter living in windy Wellington, where she is busy writing away lovely new songs and filling out her days with wondering what the next step on her musical journey is going to be.
Having very recently released her debut EP, Silhouette, Alba is tracking towards big things with her favourable tunes that have captivated many around the country and she looks to have a big few months ahead of her. Alba has been added to the line-up of the sold out Tora Bombora and close to selling out Taupo festival, Le Currents. Two of the hottest summer festivals that if you’re not going, you will indeed suffer from FOMO.
Alba is someone who paints the town with all of her bright colours that will highlight your day, making you unable to forget her beautifully calming voice that will mellow you out. Alba’s music makes me feel like she’s the main act at a small gig where she is playing an acoustic set. Everyone is gathered right in front of the stage, sitting on the most comfortable beanbags and singing their hearts out along with her, fairy lights illuminating the room, our thoughts so far from our minds that it feels like everything is just peaceful and we have no worries in the world. Those are my favourite types of gigs and to have Alba be able to make anyone feel that relaxed is quite reassuring as to why you should go and listen to her music.
