If It's Too Loud...

Formerly known as Manett, New York City's Rosa Bordallo has a new single out that continues her bridging indie pop and psychedelic electro-rock. "Crasseux" sees the Guam born singer-songwriter expanding the electronic element of her music. I couldn't say that "Crasseux" is a dance song despite the electronic elements. The song delves a little too far into the psychedelic side of music. Sure, you could dance to it, but I personally wouldn't be able to find the correct rhythm.

Rosa Bordallo (fka Manett) has lived in New York City since she was nineteen. Before that, she is a Chamorro from Guam. She's set to release her second solo album and has released a new single called "I Feel Numb." The new song is an anti-war song, written when Russia first invaded Ukraine. Calling "I Feel Numb" a singer-songwriter track isn't fully explaining it. The song is a blend of indie pop and psychedelic electro-rock. It has a heavy layer of fuzz coating virtually the entire song, which has a surprisingly cinematic quality to it. The song feels like a small epic in both scope and sound. "I Feel Numb" is guaranteed to grab you within the first twenty seconds, and keep you in its auditory grip for another five minutes. You can listen to "I Feel Numb" below. Isidro is due out January 31 on Bad Auntie Records, and is available for pre-order here . For more on Rosa Bordallo, check out the artist on Instagram and TikTok .
