‘Obsession’ by BECKY ROSE (featuring WEAK13)

Click here to listen to Obsession by Becky Rose (Feat: Weak13)

Two of the Britain’s rising music stars, singer/songwriter ‘Becky Rose’ and underground rock artist ‘Nick J.Townsend’ (aka ‘WEAK13’), combine their talents to give the world the song ‘OBSESSION’. The song was written by Becky Rose and a demo was released on to the internet early in 2009. Nick J.Townsend immediately wanted to do a cover as soon as he heard the track and asked Becky Rose for permission to add his interpretation of the song and work side by side with her in a studio.


The song is reminiscent of some of the great rock opera songs such as ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ by QUEEN and ‘Poison’ by ALICE COOPER. ‘OBSESSION’ pays homage to some of the great film soundtracks such as ‘THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW’ and ‘TOMMY’ with a fun professional approach to guitar work, atmospheric piano, haunting melody and passionate storyline vocals.

‘Obsession’ was recorded in Stourbridge England in one day by live recording engineer and producer ‘Crazy Mule’. All the drums were performed by session drummer Ben Newey and were recorded simultaneously with Becky Rose playing piano. Guitars and Bass were added after and performed by Nick J.Townsend. The powerful seductive operatic vocals of Becky Rose make the song into a musical whilst the background vocals provided by Nick give the song that ‘Beauty and the Beast’ feel. The guitar work is possibly some of Townsend’s most experimental to date with a touch of  inspiration from guitarist Davey Johnston (Elton John band). This teamwork from Becky Rose and Nick J.Townsend has now opened the doors again for musical experimentation.

“Possibly one of the best duets in the last 10 years”

“BECKY ROSE has so much energy and passion”

– Ryan’s Gig Guide

 

“Best pairing I’ve ever heard, it’s like KATE BUSH working with KORN”
