Acclaimed New Zealand combo Sola Rosa are bringing their special blend of hip hop, reggae, jazz, Latin, soul and funk to lucky US audiences for the first time later this month, but first, they have a special treat for us all. The group's second US debut video for “Love Alone" premiered on Baeble Music.

The stellar piece features Spikey Tee (Jah Wobble, Mr. Scruff, Bomb the Bass) and the band inside of different definitive album covers. You'll never know which one will turn up next as Solsa Rosa brings each one to life. The artsy and creative video is certainly an eye catcher, leaving you wanting more. Waiting to hear what's next in line from the group.

Eager U.S. fans will also get the full Sola Rosa experience in a matter of days.

Starting November 29th, frontman Andrew Spraggon will take the stage alongside Spikey Tee and Lila Tomlins (Kiwi vocal sensation) for a Sound System tour of ten North American cities, beginning in New York, NY and ending in San Diego, CA. Sola Rosa is ready to prove to the US audience that they have that special element it takes to make it in the ever-growing musical world.

Sola Rosa 's debut North American album Get It Together was recently released on October 11th, 2011, and already garnered a mention in The Village Voice, and praise for Pop Matters and Baeble alike. This is not surprising, as the album has stayed at #1 in NZ for over four months.

Sola Rosa frontman Andrew Spraggon ignores the niceties of genre boundaries and opts instead to blend his diverse influences into an otherworldly aural experience. Since 1999 he has been honing his craft by keeping good company on the road and in the studio, eventually earning himself a nomination for Best Producer at the Vodafone NZ Music Awards in 2006 and 2009. Get It Together was nominated for Best Electronica Album, and the album's second single, 'Turn Around,' was nominated for Best Video.
