3 stars Facing the music of the multi-instrumentalist Rosalie Cunningham implies - if what you are looking for is simply to enjoy music - adopting a position away from that small tendency of some people to reject any type of proposal that does not 'innovate' or that does not have some surprise factor that can differentiate it from ordinary music. Mainly because Rosalie Cunningham accumulates a lot of influences that mostly come from the 60's and 70's of which I would like to highlight the following: acid guitars that seem to be a combination of the hardest moments of Jethro Tull's Benefit with the first Black Sabbath albums; the Psychedelia of groups like The Beatles or Cream; and small flirtations with the forms of classic Prog, all wrapped in a gothic aura and cabaret music. Adding to all this the fact that the songs are usually quite accessible and without any pretentiousness.

I can only recommend listening to this knowing that, like other nostalgic for bygone times - like Mikael Åkerfeldt - who seem to enjoy making the music they always wanted to hear, we can only judge music by its quality and ability to move us, although its sound seems very familiar to us and we have heard it a lot of times and through more well-known or iconic bands.
