Listen: Mina Rose – ‘Paradise’

It's taken from her incoming EP 'London Burning'...

Rising R&B talent Mina Rose has shared powerful new song 'Paradise'.

The newcomer seems to specialise in delivering the unexpected, and all bets are off for her incoming EP 'London Burning'.

New cut 'Paradise' is online now, matching 90s R&B influences to a dank, intense, almost trip hop vibe – we're thinking Massive Attack's expertly soulful 'Unfinished Sympathy'.

Delivered with a real sense of grace, 'Paradise' is an exploration of how we get through life, and how we can construct elements of happiness amid the grind of the day-to-day.

She explains: "When I visualise the idea of someone getting lost in their own thoughts, I imagine them sitting in a room with red walls. 'Paradise' focuses on our want to make this life as perfect as we can by finding escape, and the fact that a lot of the time it might appear that the easiest way to do that is to shut the world out: whether that's from taking something heavy or catfishing online to whatever vices you explore within the four walls of your own space, so as to tackle your demons."

"'Paradise' is about the idea that if heaven and hell exist on earth, then finding your own heaven here in hell would be the greatest heaven of all."
