FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –
The singer and songwriter of rock music
known as Rosa Bird has released his latest single, a politically
charged rock epic titled, “Fluffy Thang.” The song has been
released on the Dugdemona Records music label. At a considerable
length of approximately five minutes, “Fluffy Thang” has much to
say and explores a great many topics of social and interpersonal
import, its tongue-in-cheek title notwithstanding. A rock song with
pounding rhythms and chugging, grunge-era style guitars backed by
epic keyboard work, “Fluffy Thang” is a powerful and intelligent
song, an excellent introduction to this surprise artist at the close
of an already remarkable summer for music releases.
Rosa Bird (whose moniker is reminiscent
of Native American names) cites as main artistic influences the
entire cast of '80s era Saturday Night Live, Miles Davis, Pink Floyd,
the Isley Brothers, Burning Spear, Ziggy Marley, Mutabaruka, and
Marilyn Manson, whom the artist says, “inspired my current
release.” The SNL crew taught Bird to write witty punchlines, with
which he populates his lyrics and rhymes.
The Marilyn Manson connection is also
immediately apparent to fans of the genre, yet “Fluffy Thang” has
much more in common with Marilyn Manson contemporaries, Faith No
More, whose lyrical themes and style of musical composition are
parallel to the aims (and achievements) of Rosa Bird's “Fluffy
Thang.”
When asked to speak candidly with
regard to the topics explored in his music, Rosa Bird is happy to
oblige.
“My music,” he writes, “is intended to give a different perspective on political and social matters, to challenge the status quo – 'business as usual' positions and opinions – to speak truth about issues, to promote vertical thought processes for the listener, and to initiate social change.”

If this list of lofty goals sounds
perhaps too grandiose, the listener is urged to hear the music
itself. The only way “Fluffy Thang” can fail to deliver on all of
them is if it is never heard, which circumstance is gladly
impossible: “Fluffy Thang” by Rosa Bird is available online
worldwide beginning 14 September 2013.
