Winner of the 2010 Folk Music Award for Contemporary Singer of the Year, two 2011 East Coast Music Awards and longlisted for the 2012 Polaris Prize PEI native Rose Cousins finds insight in solitude and strength in numbers.

We Have Made A Spark follows Cousins’ two multi-award-winning albums The Send Off (2009) produced by Luke Doucet and If You Were For Me (2006) produced by CBC in Halifax.  Yet another collection of stunning songs by Rose Cousins, her third album braves weighty topics.

Rooted in authenticity and conviction of voice, you feel as though Rose Cousins sings for you, about your life.  It is that sincerity that leads some to compare Cousins to our most beloved songwriters, and yet, her passionate delivery is distinctly, Rose.  From writing songs from a tiny cabin without electricity on a New Hampshire island to the stage of one her many international tour stops her lone voice reaches out to listeners, all of us surrounded by our own forms of darkness, and charges us to have the courage to forge ahead.
