“Her voice just sends me…David Lynch made that third season of Twin Peaks a year too soon, cause she should’ve been playing in that bar.”- (NPR All Songs Considered Best New Music)
Gena Rose Bruce’s 2019 debut album Can’t Make You Love Me is an intoxicating ride through love, lust, surrender and revival. Her vocals drive these songs; a stirring force amidst the pulsing rhythms, echoes of Mazzy Star and Lynchian undertones. The Melbourne artist’s debut is as playful as it is confessional. Released in June 2019 via Dot Dash Recordings, it received critical acclaim locally and abroad, and will be getting a UK/Europe re-release via Proper Music in early 2020. With the momentum the album continues to gather, alongside Gena’s stunning live performances – which have led her to open for Orville Peck, Kevin Morby, Jay Som and more – Gena is destined to send shockwaves through the indie music scene.
