Alternative Soul Singer Rozzi Has “Good News”Ahead Of Her Upcoming Album ‘Fig Tree’

Wednesday, January 14 - Today, Rozzi releases new single " Good News " off her highly anticipated album Fig Tree, produced by Mocky (Feist, Kelela, Moses Sumney). In the upcoming collection, each song tells a different story of womanhood, love and loss. Today's offering - co-written by hitmakerMr Hudson(Frank Ocean, Miley Cyrus, Duran Duran, Jay-Z) - sees Rozzi flipping what could've been heartbreak, into a celebration. Sometimes you're meant to lose what isn't right for you, to make room for all the good coming your way. In the music video directed by Lucy Tamarkin, boyfriend and actor Alex Wolff makes a cameo appearance, donning black shades and playing the drums in her hitchhiking jazz band.

Rozzi shared that the song is "A celebration of heartbreak because it leads you to something better. This song is the advice I give to anyone going through a break up - it really is always good news! The first verse is me picturing what someone who I would eventually love, someone who at that time was a stranger, was doing the very second I was getting dumped. I think that's such a beautiful image - the two simultaneous moments that are leading both people towards each other. The moment their lives would change, looming."

When Rozzi first began writing her forthcoming album Fig Tree she had just turned 30, reached a new stage in a long-term relationship, watched her brother become a father, and was reading books like Motherhood by Sheila Heti and The Bell Jar. As in Sylvia Plath's seminal work, the fig tree is a powerful and looming metaphor for this chapter of the singer-songwriter's life. With each extending branch, a choice. With each choice, the promise of a new life. This record grapples with big existential questions without prescribing neat resolutions. The album is a deep dive into all of the uncertainty and change that comes with growth, but, ultimately, it's an album about trust. It's about staring into the unknown and not trying to control it, while also reassuring yourself that you have put in the work to become the kind of artist and human you were always meant to be.
