This is the time of year when music lovers are on the lookout for that perfect summer album \u2014 a record to effortlessly soundtrack beach bars, balmy evenings, road trips and sunny strolls. Look no further, you\u2019ve found it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Rozzi\u2019s latest album is a defining moment in her career, and one born from sheer talent and good old-fashioned hard work. That artistic endeavour kicked into gear when Rozzi was signed by Maroon 5\u2019s Adam Levine to his own label over a decade ago, and since then she has worked with a host of musical luminaries, including Nile Rodgers, Sergio Mendes, Billie Eilish, Kendrick Lamar and Sheryl Crow.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Fig Tree<\/em> is an intoxicating collection of sumptuous soul-pop songs that have been beautifully arranged and exquisitely delivered. The prominent feature throughout, though, is the super-impressive vocal performance from Rozzi. This artist possesses a velvet voice that feels like a warm embrace. Rozzi could indeed sing the phone book, and it would probably be an emotional experience for the listener. Thankfully, she doesn\u2019t, opting instead for lyrical content that relates to the human condition and the range of feelings therein \u2014 whether it\u2019s love, vulnerability, joy or rejection \u2014 all wrapped up in catchy tunes, which is no mean feat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The record also offers a generous variety of musical moods. The James Bond theme-style drama \u2014 those tension chords \u2014 of \u201cHold Tight,\u201d probably my favourite track on Fig Tree<\/em>, is cool and mysterious, while \u201cAll For A Man\u201d is a blues-gospel-tinged, timeless anthem. Check the vocals on this one!<\/p>\n\n\n\n We\u2019re also treated to the delicate, laid-back acoustic ballad \u201cEdge of Something Else,\u201d which comes across as a beach campfire sing-along, and not just on account of the ocean sound effects at the beginning. It\u2019s such a stripped-back track, but still manages to sound larger than life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Posted from: https:\/\/www.xsnoize.com\/album-review-rozzi-fig-tree\/<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n
