Neska Rose’s ‘Aware’ is a Sobering Account of Detecting Disrespect

Coming off her 2024 album, Neska Rose’s song ‘Aware’ is a punchy, assertive, confrontation aimed at a man that has no respect for her at all. 

The artist feels unheard and frustrated by the lack of communication in the relationship, and that’s why she says things like “I don’t speak cause you complicate it all”.

The record details this awakening, where Neska starts to realise all the negative elements in her romantic arrangement. She is finally ‘aware’, but that doesn’t necessarily mean she wants him to be aware too. With lines like “turn my cheek till you say I need your”, you can tell she’s willing to withstand the nonsense to a certain point. It’s almost like she finds a strange pleasure in the suffering, unashamedly declaring “you like to fall and I like the pain”.

Attracting audiences from all over the world, its traditional appeal attracts more ball gowns than waterproof ponchos, however the BBC is aiming to change all of that, or at least to bring it up to date with orchestral concerts dedicated to popular music as well as the classics.
