Rosie Byron - “Love Is The Key”
Rosie Byron is a passionate lyricist and primary school teacher whose music reflects themes of love, resilience, and personal growth, with a message of sunny optimism that shines throughout her music — and her latest single, “Love Is The Key”, finds itself no lesser; with the peppy bass line and the melodious singing that keep you entertained from start to finish, the song nails it in terms of its execution and its energy balance, gently swelling and fading with the flow of the melodies.
