Embarrassingly, we weren’t aware of British rising songstress Caoilfhionn Rose until a week ago. ‘Dying Star’ is the record that caught our attention. Immensely cathartic and ethereal, the track showcases some of the project’s best qualities. From the floaty, bucolic vocals delivered with elegant and evocative energy by Rose, to the witty arrangement, balanced between modernity and classicism.
Packed with shiny textures and an intimate electronic beat, ‘Dying Star’ sees Caoilfhionn engaging in expansive, dreamy lyricism, wrapping the listeners in a majestic, spiritual aura that’s soothing and memorable. Hailing from Manchester, Rose is a truly interesting artist: we look forward to her blooming into a globally-recognized phenomenon.
Speaking about the inspiration behind ‘Dying Star’, Caoilfhionn explains: “When I was writing this song, I was thinking about a close friend of mine. I am in awe of their sense of adventure and resilience. That really inspired the lyrics. I also had this image of a dying star in mind; vivid and dynamic – to me, it represents strength and wonder. I hope you enjoy it and can drift away to the meandering melodies.”
