Mossrose

Listening to a Mossrose song can feel like reading a page from someone's diary. She's a singer-songwriter originally from India who now calls Melbourne home, and her writing puts the lyrics first: emotional, witty and self-aware, carried on melodies that lean towards pop. That makes her a better match for a room that's paying attention than for a noisy dance floor. Think of an intimate gig, a gallery opening or a relaxed evening where guests will actually catch the words, and where a new voice on the Melbourne scene is part of the appeal.
