CHamoru-American Indie Artist Rosa Bordallo Debuts New Single ” Citadel” via Ears To Feed –

Today, CHamoru-American indie rock artist Rosa Bordallo (f.k.a. Manett, and member of post-punk band cholo) shared her song “Citadel” which premiered earlier today (along with her self-directed and edited music video) over at Ears To Feed. Contrasting with the “warm, calming charm” (The Autumn Roses) of her first single, “Lost on the Coast,” Bordallo’s latest single “Citadel” showcases her Riot grrrl influences. With Ears To Feed, Bordallo explains the song’s inspiration: “‘Citadel’ is about Capitalist vultures in the concrete jungle. A balls-to-the-wall angry eff you to the 1 percenters who suck us dry. I wrote this out of frustration with the myth of New York (‘if you can make it here, you can make it anywhere’) that attracts bright and ambitious folk who may not realize what they’re getting into until it’s too late.”

Premiere: Rosa Bordallo, “Citadel”

Thank you, Lee, for lending your unsurpassable voice to perfectly tell my story.” – Carly Pearce
