Melissa Frabotta, aka Mosa, considers her pair of new singles — “Hard Times,” premiering exclusively on Billboard today (Nov. 26), and “Mama’s Got Brand New Shoes” — to be the new, and true, start of her recording career.
The Brooklyn-based Frabotta released a Mosa album during October of 2018 but acknowledges to Billboard that “it was a very soft release. We didn’t promote it much. We just had a lot of old recordings and people were saying, ‘Hey, we want to get your stuff’ that we were playing at shows. But by the time those songs came out they were older and less fresh in my brain.
“These [new songs] are the first release that I feel I’m really proud of. They resonate more with me. They reflect where I’m at as an artist now.”
