Friday, March 13 - Today, Rozzi announces the May 8 release date for her highly anticipated album Fig Tree (pre save here), produced by Mocky (Feist, Kelela, Moses Sumney). To celebrate the release, she is bringing an immersive six week gallery show and residency to new Los Angeles venue LAX beginning May 7 (tickets on sale now). In today’s powerful new single “All for a Man,” the alternative-soul singer and songwriter is at her best. Blending her natural Jazz sensibility with rich vocals, Rozzi continues to set herself apart from the pack. Today’s release follows “Good News,” - co-written by hitmaker Mr Hudson (Frank Ocean, Miley Cyrus, Duran Duran, Jay-Z) - “Hold Tight” and title track “Fig Tree.”
When Rozzi first began writing 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.

This past fall, alongside a panel of celebrity judges - Gia Coppola, Simon Le Bon, Julian Lennon, Kiersey Clemons and Simon Shaw - Rozzi selected artists to showcase original artworks inspired by the tracks on her upcoming album. Presented at Ki Smith Gallery on New York’s Lower East Side, 26 artists were selected to participate in the exhibition, from over 500 global submissions. Rozzi would return to the space weekly to perform both new material from her upcoming record and favorites from her existing catalogue.
Now in LA beginning May 11, the show will evolve, inviting visual artists - including some returning - to create new works for this next chapter of Fig Tree as it becomes available for fans and listeners. The works will live in the venue over the course of the six week residency, which will also include weekly performances. Following these performances, an after hours party will open up into a new unseen part of the venue, with surprise guests and performances. Visitors can expect an immersive and ever changing experience inspired by the world of Fig Tree.
