Rosetta West comes crashing back with an epic new track, "Dora Lee (Gravity)," taken from their forthcoming "Gravity Sessions." Equal parts mythic fever dream and hard blues rock exorcism, this track doesn't just demand your attention but grabs you by the collar and pulls you into another dimension. Rosetta West manages to be high-concept and emotionally punchy. They're not goddesses who flit through their stories name-dropping other gods, nor are they partying with the esoterica; they leverage myth to deepen the story, to work out how love, longing, and madness can feel a force like gravity inescapable, disorienting, oh-so-real.
The lyrics detail the aftershocks of a fleeting and enigmatic encounter with a godly lover who doesn't operate by mortal standards. The story has a haunting quality at the juncture of sensuality and existential horror. Rosetta West reconceives the narrator as a general wrestling with forces much larger than mere command. The lover is no ordinary muse but comes in images borrowed from ancient myths: Ishtar, Hecate, Kali. Each incarnation exudes power and mystery that gets at the song's core question: What happens when divine forces toy with human hearts?
"Dora Lee (Gravity)" is raw, unrelenting energy rooted in hard blues rock tradition, but it's hardly content to live in the past. There's a contemporary edge, a psychological tension that runs underneath the riffs, that makes it more than memories. In the hands of the band, it is delivered with snarling precision, each note digging deeper into the emotional fulcrum of the narrative. With "Dora Lee (Gravity)," Rosetta West launches a cinematic, intellectual, and fully primal experience. It's a revelation for anyone hankering for music that isn't afraid to think or howl.
