You + Me, Rose Ave

You + Me

Rose Ave

Reviewed by: Donte Kirby

If you like Alecia Moore, better known as Pink, you’ll like this collaborative album with City and Colour aka Dallas Green. Together, the duo is You + Me.

Not to take away from the vocal talents of Dallas Green, but Rose Ave can best be described as acoustic Pink. Green’s light cadence and gentle voice is a perfect contrast to the strength and power of Pink’s. Listening to one really allows you to appreciate the other.

The songs that entranced me the most were “From A Closet In Norway (Oslo Blues)” and “Second Guess”. In both songs Pink and Green sing almost simultaneously, trading off mid sentence and verse.

If you’re a Pink fan you’ll love Rose Ave at the first note. Your only gripe may be you don’t hear Pink enough. If your not a Pink fan, Rose Ave won’t change your mind and Green won’t make Pink an easier listen.
