In The Spotlight

Ariana & The Rose – “I Just Came To Say Goodbye”

Born as Ariana Di Lorenzo on Long Island and now Brooklyn-based, this glittery singer and songwriter began playing piano and to this day writes her songs behind a piano. She got enamoured by synths and synth-pop while living and recording in London, UK for 4 years. Having a love for performing live, she’s played various festivals like SXSW, The Great Escape and Milwaukee Summerfest. Inspired by Kate Bush, David Bowie and Prince, she released her debut single “Heartbeat” in 2013.

Returning with her first new music in three years, her new single bids adieu to a romance that has run its course. Taken from her upcoming album “The Breakup Variety Hour”, expected this fall, the song starts with an emotive piano and is quickly joined by soft strings and finger-snaps. Injecting some passion in the chorus with the added shimmering synths and a pulsating percussion, it’s the intricate layering of her stirring vocals that shows us the frayed edges of her broken heart.
