Michaela Betts – The Rose
Oh. This is beautiful.
It starts off with a sparse arpeggiated piano part, then draws in a cello to give it the necessary bass part.
But then it drops into a beautiful electro synth piece that just gets better and better and better with each listen.
My mate Nick would love this, because the melodic choices are right up his street…
The chromatic notes in the melody just make me shiver.
WOW!
They’re no blatant but they’re doing the job.
And what a beautiful job too.
