  • Enrose Releases “Therapy”- A Song About Self Awareness

    Talented singer-songwriter and saxophonist, Gabi Rose, has treated us to “Therapy,” part of her project Enrose.

    Enrose-“Therapy”

    This catchy track effortlessly blends Indie Pop with Alt-Rock. What makes this song truly special? Gabi’s signature touch, a saxophone solo- this time as a lead hook, staying true to her classic style we know and love.

    “Therapy” blends saxophone-infused goodness to encourage listeners to follow their dreams. Gabi and her song aim to encourage self-expression, even in the face of fear. Drawing inspiration from artists like Paramore, Alanis Morissette, and Olivia Rodrigo, Enrose’s music melds contemporary appeal with nostalgic elements and expressive New York musical artistry. “Therapy” was made dedicated to those who grasp life’s brevity and recognize that life is complicated but self-reflection is a large part of figuring it out.

    Gabi Rose sings, “That’s it, I’m getting therapy / Cuz I am seeing things / Got No One Else to Blame / The Wheels are Turning the Wrong Way ,” setting the stage for the chorus: “Knot in my Soul / Out of Control / I’ve Done All That I Can Do For Me / I’m Getting Therapy”.

    While therapy is more of a widely discussed topic nowadays, it still can be very challenging to take the leap. This vulnerable, yet uplifting hit describes to listeners the willingness to accept help in therapy, after making an effort to figure things out on your own.

    Gabi has broken barriers with her viral performances and now with her own project, Enrose. Through Enrose, she plans to carve out her unique niche, challenge societal conventions, and empower women in the music scene.

    Now streaming on all platforms, have a listen to “Therapy” from Enrose.

  • Wes Seneca Offers Sneak Peek at Upcoming EP with “Sam”

    518 retro-electronica artist Wes Seneca, having unleashed the full-length album While Rome Burns in March 2023, has given a sneak peek into his upcoming project with the single and video for “Sam.”

    “Sam” is based on a voice sample from Jim Gallagher of the late 1980s Albany-based band E Plemnista. Gallagher, the front man and trumpeter, was cautioning a fan standing too close to the band during a performance. Gallagher and then bandmates Josh Vincent, Frank Cristafaro, Nick Nealon and Michael Eck were known for their physically aggressive performances and concert-related injuries.

    Wes Seneca resides in the Capital Region and calls on musical influences that stretch from Germany’s Kraftwerk to DEVO and Wolf Alice. A veteran Capital Region acoustic performer, John Wesley “Wes” Seneca trades in what he calls “retro-electronica,” music created with decades-old electronic gear and recorded not with software on a laptop, but on a hardware digital workstation.

    Wes is in many ways a creation of the global pandemic. When his acoustic group could not perform in front of live audiences, he took to the basement and conjured up a wide-ranging collection of audio tracks which took shape several years later, as the album While Rome Burns.

    Even now that his acoustic group has found its way back to the stage, “Wes” continues create more electronic music and the single and video “Sam” are simply a sneak peek at a forthcoming 2024 release.

    Prior to the release of the upcoming and currently untitled EP, “Sam” is available only as a free download at wessenecamusic.com.
