Rosetta West’s “Circle of Doubt” is wonderful and the music video is amazing. The guitar riff loops like it’s been stuck in a smoke-filled ritual, heavy with tension but also strangely meditative. Meanwhile, the solo work floats above it all, not trying to show off but trying to reach somewhere else—maybe redemption, maybe just a breath of air.

There’s a story under the surface, something about burning out in some personal apocalypse and clawing your way back through that doubt-ridden haze. The spiritual thread is strong, but it’s not preachy. It just feels like it was written by someone who’s actually been through it.

Fans of moody psychedelia and haunted blues will find something here worth looping. If this track hits you like it did me, give Rosetta West a follow. You’ll want to hear what’s next.
