Rose Cousins returns with her cover of Annie Lennox’s “Cold”. This has been a classic Canadian winter – unbelievably cold, with the beauty of freshly fallen snow and ice shimmering all around. For Rose Cousins, a classic winter at home in Halifax left her feeling nostalgic for the musical touchstones of her youth. Among the songs Rose felt drawn to was “Cold” by Annie Lennox, from her 1992 album, Diva.

Says Cousins: “Annie Lennox is so brilliant and it’s been a cold winter,” explains Cousins. “She’s epic and so is this nostalgic song from 1992 (and my youth). Who doesn’t love longing and winter combined? Undeniable.”

Cousins’ album Conditions of Love – Volume 1, is described as a guided journey through the “conditions of love.”
Co-produced with trusted friend and longtime bandmate Joshua Van Tassel, Conditions of Love – Volume 1 saw Rose return to her first love, the piano. “Piano is where I feel the most connected. It’s the best partner in expressing the emotion I’m mining,” she shares.

Over the years, Rose has played shows with Patty Griffin, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Jann Arden, Bruce Cockburn, Josh Ritter, Kathleen Edwards, Joe Henry, Aoife O’Donovan and Anais Mitchell, and her music has fittingly underscored scenes from notable TV shows including Grey’s Anatomy, Fire Country, Station 19 and Batwoman along with several independent films.
