Scarsdale native, Patti Rothberg returns with brand new music with her album and single, "Black Widow."
The single is out now on CDBaby.com and is also available on ITunes and Spotify. The album will be available online on October 31. This marks her fifth album in two years! Compared to her 2011 techno-dance album with some experimental country tunes on "Overnight Sensation," here she returns to her singer-songwriter roots. It's sure to win her a whole new generation of fans!
According to the liner notes on CDBaby, Rothberg states that "Black Widow" is very personal to her and is autobiographical.
"Black Widow is a "Lower West Side Story" about a starstruck girl who fell for a rebellious rock n roll bass player she admired for years from afar and always hoped to meet..one day. The entire tragic tale is in the lyrics."
"Somehow he appeared one night, an apparition from the shadows of the now defunct club, Don Hills. He came running up and said "I don't care about the music business, I only care about saving cats!! He expressed a romantic interest too, but it seemed too random, too dreamlike, too good to be true to respond in that moment."
"That weekend, I plotted to get his attention and hold it when he appeared on Facebook with his wild, sweet personality. It was Late September, 2011 when their online flirtation caused her to officially look forward to his messages."
"Unfortunately on October 4, a message came into her box but not one she could possibly fathom. Instead she read that he (Steve Mach) had been fatally wounded in Baltimore by a policeman when he was playing with a toy gun!?
I was so stunned! Of all the people to take from this earth..MY crush, and NOW..when he finally noticed me!?"
"I took a blue candle and placed it on the floor, grabbed my guitar and asked Steve to help co-write a song about this with me. And he did. This is that song. I firmly believe that we co-wrote it together."
"All the proceeds of this single will go straight to Steve's favorite cat charity, BARCS in Baltimore. I believe this is what he would have wanted me to do. R.I.P Steve Mach, my "Perfect Stranger."
Her fans will be getting a 'treat' when the album is released this Halloween. Patti is currently playing some gigs near you. Please visit her website, for more information.
