Singer-songwriter Madeleine Rose has released her indie pop/folk single, "Bracing the Fall." Full of hushed tones, whimsical lyrics, and a smooth undertone that manages to grip you in a reality that is lost in musical limbo. "Bracing the Fall" is the fourth single Rose has released this year in the lead-up to her debut EP, Strangers. Rose returns to music after nearly a decade away, and the time has only showcased the hidden talent beneath.
"Bracing the Fall" is in line with the rest of the EP, balancing the pure stylings of DIY folk and indie pop with alternative themes. Considered the emotional epicenter of the entire project: the moral struggle between the need to confront fear and the urge to surrender.
The track is a slow-progressing track that continues to build with each lyric. Rose sings from the heart at times when you can hear the tears streaming down her face.
Within Strangers, "Bracing the Fall" fits perfectly. It helps lead the tracks into each other without a break in the emotional turmoil. The overall appeal of Strangers is a sense of creative rebirth that Madeleine Rose has spent the better part of her lost years manifesting.
