When an artist is known for being the leader of such a modern, yet iconic, band such as Purson, one would expect that said artist\u2019s solo material would sound just like the band he\/she led. In the case of Rosalie Cunningham, this statement couldn\u2019t be any further from the truth.<\/p>\n<p>The album kicks off with the fuzz-driven psych-rock sounds of \u201cRide on My Bike.\u201d The into is full of all kinds of cosmic ear candy only to kick in sounding like something that sounds like it could\u2019ve been a lost track from Jellyfish\u2019s Spilt Milk album. \u201cFuck Love\u201d is as bold musically as it is titled. This particular song sounds as if it could be a mystical spell put on whoever it was that put her in the position to write a song like this. I feel bad for whoever did Ms Cunningham wrong because you\u2019ve just been hexed.<\/p>\n<p><iframe title=\"Rosalie Cunningham - Dethroning Of The Party Queen OFFICIAL LYRIC VIDEO\" width=\"750\" height=\"422\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/X0qZ1oKP4Nk?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cDethroning of the Party Queen\u201d is definitely an album highlight with its Queen-esque style arrangement with Cunningham\u2019s signature love for the Beatles infused for good measure. \u201cA Yarn From a Wheel\u201d is hands down the show stopper for me. Clocking in at over 13 minutes, \u201cA Yarn from a Wheel\u201d is a truly remarkable epic that even features a spoken word part that reminds me that of the Moody Blues\u2019 \u201cNights in White Satin\u201d or dare I say Iron Maiden\u2019s \u201cRime of the Ancient Mariner of Mariner.\u201d Musically, this song shows what Cunningham is capable of doing as her own artist.<\/p>\n<p>Gone is the need to hide behind the moniker of a band name and gone are the expectations of what direction Cunningham needs to steer the Purson ship into. Cunningham\u2019s solo debut is musically exciting, it\u2019s lyrically mystical as one would expect but most importantly, it\u2019s not Purson; it\u2019s Rosalie Cunningham. With Rosalie Cunningham\u2019s magnificent self-titled debut solo album, we get to hear the real Rosie free of expectations and free of constraints. If this debut is any indication of where Rosalie Cunningham is heading as a solo artist, we are in for one hell of a cosmic journey.<\/p>\n<p>You can order the album here: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cherryred.co.uk\/?s=Rosalie+Cunningham+&amp;post_type=product\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">https:\/\/www.cherryred.co.uk\/?s=Rosalie+Cunningham+&amp;post_type=product<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Rosalie Cunningham \u2013 Rosalie Cunningham Release Date: July 26, 2019 Rosalie Cunningham, brainchild behind one of the aughts best psych-rock bands, Purson, has stepped out on her own releasing her debut, self-titled debut solo album.
