Staff Picks 2/17: Achy Breaky Hearts

“Roses” – Abra

“Roses” doesn’t talk about a pretty end to love. It’s about a lover who accepts that some flings are bound to end, that they don’t have the “green thumb” to make love work. Against all this aching and disappointed acceptance, a 90’s R&B bass and beat keeps dancing into the night, looking for someone who just might make love bloom.
