The track comes at the end of the artist’s acclaimed debut EP Rogue
A track steeped in vulnerability and intimacy throughout, latest Enola Bedard single ‘Allergic to Roses’ sees the artist exploring relatable themes like self-preservation and not letting people in in order to protect yourself, delving into them through a sound that feels both stripped-back and soft while having a stylish, modern allure that feels effortlessly captivating.
There is a softness to the artist’s vocal here and the thought that is put into her lyrics and imagery that makes for compelling listening throughout, with the candid way that she elaborates her feelings and the walls she puts up in such emotional fashion elevating the track to even more resonating heights. An artist who is known to craft sounds that push and pull her alt-pop sound into a variety of directions and moods, ‘Allergic to Roses’ may just be Enola’s most thoughtful and truly intimate work to date.
