Queer alt-folk artist Rona Mac shares wistful and wise offering “Buttercup,” capturing fleeting beauty and joy within artfully crafted sonics. Building on a gentle folk guitar instrumentation, raw vocals and contemplative lyrics lead us through an honest reflection on life’s ability to move forward.
Brimming with genuine love and unbridled passion, the track is muted yet unfiltered as it blossoms from the heart rooted in her stripped-back, DIY stylings, touched with a sense of nostalgia.
Speaking of the track, Mac says, “This song was written during a time when I was simultaneously reeling from grief and giddy from falling in love. In my experience, when people die life gets crisper, more tangible and valuable and fragile. I was holding a new love in my arms with the fresh re-acknowledgement that everything is temporary.”
A prolific songwriter with a textured and thoughtful musicality, Rona Mac gives us a glimpse of the emotive core of her upcoming album Honeymilk and Heavy Weather, a tender 11-track collection paying ode to a lost friend, weaving through love, grief and determination with her transformative artistry.
