Virginia Rose steps back up to the mic, pairing her vocals and rhythm guitar with Mark Nelson's guitar leads and backup vocals.
The songs have roots in rhythm and blues as well as soul, updated with nods to funk, spoken word and punk. Originals by Virginia Rose range from ballads to punky rockers. Some songs mix in sampled beats and bass lines. Just about every song is danceable:) The synth guitar adds sonic textures, and loops give depth to the live duo.
