Delve into the choral splendour of Beckie Margaret’s “Garden Roses”
Hailing from coastal Essex, Beckie Margaret combines the mystic beauty of Kate Bush with Dusty Springfield’s sombre reflections.
Haunting melodies and celestial inflections abound on Beckie Margaret’s “Garden Roses” - a poignant study of mental health and creativity. Margaret is tied to her austere surroundings on the Essex coast and with that her music takes on a somewhat mythical quality steeped in local folklore akin to Clacton’s Ghost From the Water or Basildon’s Red Monk.
In Margaret’s own words: “Garden Roses is about reassuring yourself and other people that mental health does not define you, and you are not any less of a person because of it. Being surrounded by creative people I’m constantly seeing myself and my loved ones feel defined by their illness, so this is a song for them and for me to say we are beautiful because of it. We are no less of a person”
