Raquel Aurilia’s “Pretty Roses” is a somber and touching track that deftly blends together alternative, singer-songwriter, and country styles into a unique approach. Raquel’s vocals do more than lay out the narrative for the single, they add considerably to the overall harmony achieved by the guitars and drums. Listeners would do well to play Pretty Roses multiple times to focus on each part as there is ample depth to be plumbed. With a stunning video showcasing the gravity of the song, Aurilia is able to impress upon listeners her own unique approach to music. We’re hoping to hear more from her in the future.
