Via Rosa remains one of the more prolific artists in Chicago. You can find covers, remixes, features, demos, side projects, instrumentals, and so many more on any given day from the south side talent. With all of these creative directions taking form (including her duo DRAMA with Na'el Shehade), she tends to shine the best when working with collective THEMpeople, a formula that worked so well on the album DeathViaLove, and a formula that hasn't been heard in four months. That all changed at midnight when Via released “Beautiful Stranger”, an almost six minute song that acts as two pieces of a soulful and smooth puzzle. The first half remains produced by THEMpeople while the second haf is “a loop from '3hrs and 59minutes' by Jennah Bell.” The result is fantastic, something to play with some candles and some rainfall, something to hold you over until Via releases the anticipatory Metempsychosis later this year.
