Halifax singer-songwriter Rose Cousins finds insight in solitude and strength in numbers. Supported by a thriving Halifax music scene and welcomed by an equally vibrant Boston community, her album WE HAVE MADE A SPARK was made in the spirit of community and collaboration. Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice, We Have Made A Spark feels as though Rose Cousins is singing for you, about your life. It is that sincerity that leads some to compare her to our most beloved songwriters, yet her delivery is distinctly Rose. "There is not a lyric, note or instrument out of place on the dark third album by East Coast folk-pop singer/songwriter Rose Cousins. Funded by a successful Kickstarter campaign and recorded in Boston with a large group of collaborators, the 11 songs showcase Halifax-based Cousins at the top of her game." - NOW Magazine, February 2012 "This is one of the most stunning albums this year. I feel like many people missed it, but it's never too late." -Kim Ruehl, No Depression, December 2012 "A sadder than sad, startlingly beautiful, emotionally naked album from a masterful singer/songwriter." -NOW Toronto, Top 10 Albums of 2012 "As always, Cousins' honest lyrics are as disarming as the music which accompanies them." -NPR Music, January 2013
