Transparent easy listening

The Medicine:
Derosa has created a new language.
Derosa’s lyrics have created a slick, somewhat shady fresh take on alliteration while mixing common daily minimal fights the listener faces every day with a simple, fulfilling back beat.
Derosa is every guy’s best buddy girl friend that vamped, unaware popular chicks were always jealous of but never knew why. Sad Faces creates a new emoji that we haven’t found yet.
Put the arm cast on( Ben Platt), bake a pie(Waitress), begin a silent revolution (Les Mis)....The Medicine takes us from crying into a snotty, lashes-falling-off, tear drenched pillow case to walking drunkenly to our childhood closet to stop....breath....pick up a pen...putting a piece of paper on your lap....shutting down, shutting up and writing.
Derosa’s beats are clear. Nothing excessive, nothing explosive that appears extraordinary...
Until Pill For This featured on NBC Songland and NOW 321 song.
We could talk all day about Derosa moving close to Best New Artist( justified rumors), but we all know that a new artist is only part of the “cool kid” group if they are only truly kind.
Derosa uses social media the right way.
Sam has been to known to sends her voice to strangers signing Happy Birthday to teachers, health care workers, those who need to hear positive hope.
Clear, respectful, insightful, honest, willing to get-in-the-mud to find a way out...this is Sam Derosa.
I thank Sam for allowing me, my students, my friends into her world with honest, solid transparency of how hard life is sometimes, taking us all back to music/lyrics about heartbreak, love, and simple recovery without the bells or whistles or hyped fakeness that social media brings.
Look Sam Derosa up; watch her new music on YouTube, Spotify, Apple, whatever.
Follow her...she is a gem, friend and mentor every person needs.
