Sparxsea - "Roses in the Street"

Hailing from Maine, Sparxsea is making indie-pop that doesn't quite sound like anyone else. Her latest single, "Roses in the Street," combines piano syths, acoustic guitars, and programmed drum beats into a surprisingly organic singer-songwriter goes indie pop song. The song merges such diverse sounds into such a compelling composition that is strikingly fresh yet familiar. It's like a melding of trip hop, mainstream 90's folk-rock, and modern indie pop. Sparxsea feels like one of those artists that you're either going to dislike or be infatuated with, with very little in between.

Sparxsea says of her latest single:

“This is a ‘darkest before the dawn’ song. That last hour before dawn, before that rose breaks through the concrete into the street and becomes something beautiful for people to appreciate. I write about what I need to get through hard times, words that I need to hear. It's a song about abundance. There’s enough love out there for everyone. You just have to be open to it. Everything can seem very hard until you break through.”
