We had the pleasure of interviewing Rozzi over Zoom video!
As we grow up, being vulnerable becomes harder. But for\xa0Rozzi, openness is a sign of strength. That\u2019s how the LA-based neo-soul luminary has designed her \u201cdangerously personal\u201d new\xa0Hymn for Tomorrow\xa0EP\xa0-- the first installment of a new full-length album coming later this year -- due out\xa0July 2\xa0on\xa0BMG.\xa0Mostly recorded in London and New York with a handful of stellar producers, including:\xa0George Moore (YEBBA, Clean Bandit),\xa0Andrew Hollander (Carly Rae Jespen, Coyle Girelli), Pretty Sister (Betty Who, Jordin Sparks), Michael Dragovic, Eric Leva and Jurek (Matoma, NCT Dream, Blackbear),\xa0and with Rozzi sharing production duties on \u201ci dk,\u201d Rozzi\u2019s smoky, full-bodied vocals spectacularly amplify each song, as they move seamlessly from upbeat pop, funk and R&B to low-key acoustic ballads.
With recent single and title track \u201cHymn For Tomorrow,\u201d she learns to find the strength in letting go of past disappointments in order to make room for something new. Today, Rozzi has unleashed the bold, R&B-styled \u201cI Can\u2019t Go To The Party\u201d single alongside a striking new video directed by Jack Begert. At the time that she wrote it, the song described a \u201cbrutal\u201d experience running into an old flame at a social gathering and reflects on personal growth through experiences. The single now holds a dual-meaning. It also encompasses the spring awakening that we are all feeling as we come out of lockdown, while still not ready to party safely quite yet.
The much-anticipated\xa0Hymn for Tomorrow\xa0EP arrives three years after the San Francisco-born singer\u2019s 2018 debut,\xa0Bad Together, which followed a series of high-profile collaborations with\xa0Kendrick Lamar\xa0and\xa0Pusha T, plus a sold-out arena tour supporting\xa0Maroon 5. If Rozzi, who has made a career out of connecting to audiences via intensely personal songs, wants us to take anything away from\xa0Hymn for Tomorrow, it\u2019s that showing emotion can be empowering.
