About the Album
Set adrift in the narrow COVID-restricted confinement of life in New York City after a month-long residency alone on the Gettysburg battlefield, Queen Esther let her heart shelter in place as she wandered creatively, and wrote and produced Rona, recorded at Mighty Toad Recording Studio with engineer/owner Craig Dreyer and released on her imprint EL Recordings. With five original songs, a voice memo from her brother and two cover songs – Lost Without Your Love from 70s supergroup Bread and a jazz take on Queen’s rock and roll anthem Bohemian Rhapsody – Rona explores themes about love: those we hold close near and far, the ever-evolving landscape of a desolate city and finding a place to call home in a changing and restless world.
