Arum Rae — Sub Rosa (May 19, 2017)

                  ^{Arum Rae — Sub Rosa (May 19, 2017)}  •♠•   Those on a kick for independent soul, quite literally embodying that of Amy Winehouse and the fire that is Norah Jones, look no further than Los Angeles~based Arum Rae. Since 2014, she has been surfacing with a stately voice to deliver her subdued lyrics, which often have double meanings or alternate viewpoints. Her new record, Sub Rosa, itself means “under the rose” or “what happens in secret” in Latin, and it unfurls as such over its 11 understated tracks. A video for an alternative version of “Wasn’t My Time” featuring the elusive Rodriguez (Searching For Sugar Man) was recently released, which you can view below, and the record is available now via Secret Road Records.
•♠•   “I am a singer and songwriter living in west village NYC and my family’s farm in Virginia. I love meaningful lyrics and soul revealing singers. I’ve always felt like an 80 year old black man.” © Arum Rae opens for Bastard Sons of Johnny Cash Saturday at The Jinx (John Carrington / Savannah Morning News)

Review
Written By Caine O’Rear // May 9, 2017
•♠•   Singer~songwriter Arum Rae will release her unplugged album Sub Rosa on May 19 via Secret Road Records.
•♠•   Sub Rosa — Latin for “under the rose” or “what happens in secret” — is an intimate ten~song collection that features acoustic versions of previously released songs, as well as tracks from her forthcoming studio album which is slated for a fall release.
•♠•   “Sub Rosa is a collection of past, present and future songs in what I consider to be their extra~pure forms,” Rae says. “Some I recorded at home here in Manhattan and some at my friend’s studio in Brooklyn. Peeling back the layers for the sake of intimacy … an act that is usually the fast track to heartache, but in this case, a dare in the midst of transition to propel forward.”
•♠•   The bare~bones production lends itself well to these songs, and helps showcase a vocal timbre reminiscent of Amy Winehouse at her most poignant.
