Rosa Bird releases new single 'Super Power'

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE –

The activist turned musician known as Rosa Bird has released his second official single, titled, “Super Power.” It is the most significant material to be officially released from Rosa Bird since his popular track, “Fluffy Thang,” was published in September of 2013. Like that incendiary single, “Super Power” is an openly adversarial stance against the unjust, illegal and immoral activities of governments and the politicians who operate in them. Specifically, “Super Power” is an aggressive indictment of the warmongering tendencies of the world's political and military superpowers, and of the shallow value systems which drive them to steal resources from the less-defended nations of the world.

Rosa Bird cites as main artistic influences such legends as Art Porter, Pink Floyd, Kid Creole and the Coconuts, Cassandra Wilson, Manu Dibango, Metallica, and Kurt Cobain. As may be suggested by his widely varied selections, he appreciates music with rock 'n' roll in its heart and meaning to convey in its lyrics.

“My music is intended to give a different perspective on political and social matters,” Rosa Bird writes. “[I write my songs] to challenge the status quo, 'business as usual' positions and opinions, to speak truth to issues, to promote vertical thought processes for the listener and to initiate social change.”

Rosa Bird's ancestry give insight into his conscientious and courageous personality. He was born in 1960 in Shreveport, LA.

“I am the great grandson of a former slave and Chickasaw woman,” he writes. “My childhood was very fun and normal for rural Louisiana until at the age of eleven a drunk took my mother's life, after which I was publicly sociable yet privately introverted.

“I spent my teen years fishing, hunting, meditating and privately anguishing over the loss of my mother. During this time I became rather spiritual and insightful; I developed an ability to reduce convoluted matters to their lowest common denominator and root cause; my wisdom exceeded my years. I became sympathetic toward the needs of the less fortunate and resentful toward those who systematically misuse them.”

Rosa Bird is a graduate of Grambling State University and a veteran of the US Army. A serious scholar of the Christian Bible, he disavowed organized religion in the 1980s.

He speaks of the theme of his new single, “'Super Power' is intended to direct attention to President Eisenhower’s warning against the dangers of a military-industrial complex.”

“Super Power” by Rosa Bird is available online worldwide. It is not to be missed.

Rosa Bird releases single 'Fluffy Thang'

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.
