With a lifelong passion for music and a solid background as a pianist, New York’s Aro Rose is a brilliant singer-songwriter and performer whose journey has been marked by constant discovery and evolution. Her soulful voice and skillful songwriting imbue her music with an enchanting quality. Through her genuine artistry, she provides an avenue for listeners to connect with their own experiences of love, pain, fear, and resilience. Her candid lyricism creates a space for reflection and emotional exploration. As Rose continues to share her musical journey, her growing impact on the R&B, pop, and hip-hop scenes exemplifies the transformative power of musical storytelling.
Aro is back with an enchanting performance dubbed “Don’t Cry Today” featuring South Jersey-based rapper Poynt Blank. This single expresses the heartache stemming from betrayal by a loved one who then callously disregarded those feelings.
The gentle, mellow, and smooth piano intro lasts an ear-catching 9 seconds, setting a haunting tone before Aro Rose’s sweet-sounding voice joins in followed by other percussion that go on to build into this captivating hip-hop sound with modern appeal.
Setting the tone with the captivating chorus, “Don’t cry today, it’ll be okay. I wish you’d stayed, but you don’t love me,” Aro reels a listener in with her powerful and emotional voice that continues to grow in depth as the song progresses, morphing into melancholy with the poignant lyrics.
Blank complements Aro’s singing with his insightful lyrics, adding depth to the track’s theme.
Aro’s powerful, old-school voice stands out for its range and strength. I love that she is not afraid of surrendering her vulnerability here, which allows a listener to find their personal connection with her words, as we’ve more often than not been made to believe that the person we were with loved us when that was not actually the case.
Blending hip-hop and R&B, “Don’t Cry Today” offers heartfelt performances and skillful execution, making it a standout addition to any playlist.
