ROSIE ALENA GOD'S GARDEN

The rise of South London singer and songwriter Rosie Alena is something that we've been anticipating for a long while. For years Alena has dazzled audiences across the capital and is increasingly heading further afield with the assistance of her continually morphing, but always excellent, live ensemble. New single 'God's Garden' arrives via on-the-pulse London label untitled (recs) and sees Alena's meandering vocal melodies soar over a bed of intriguing instrumentation. Described by Alena as "a love song that says I love you, but I also love myself", 'God's Garden' is a beautifully affirming take on modern relationships. Listen here now and keep a look out for more from this star in the making. -Holly Mullineaux
