Rosa Mack – “When I’m Alone”

Hailing from Brisbane, this Australian powerhouse singer and songwriter has been a feature of the local live music scene since 2020. Backed by a seven-piece soul and blues collective, they’ve played numerous sold-out shows, as well as several festivals, such as the Woodford Folk Festival. Inspired by Amy Winehouse, Brittany Howard and Nina Simone, it’s time to debut her impassioned soulful sound.

Guiding the listener through the complexities of toxic relationships and the liberating feeling of solitude, her debut single is a soul-stirring sonic gem. Easing into the song with a smooth blend of a classic soul rhythm, blues guitar and gospel organ, it’s her emotive vocals that lead to a soaring finale brimming with blazing horns and wild guitars, fusing together into an exhilarating retro anthem.
