Rosi Golan Announces New Album Lead Balloon Slated For Release on August 30th!
[022611_portrait_337-LR]
Rosi Golan's songwriting can most closely be likened to the unpredictable weather that sweeps in during the spring, and then reaches full bloom during the summer.  The sun-drenched season is filled with not just the warm air and care-free atmosphere, but with the intense, flash thunderstorms; all of which categorize Rosi's stunning sophomore effort Lead Balloon, out August 30th.
Over the years this incredible songstress has worked to refine and hone her sound, collecting new elements and crafting it in the places she finds herself. The Israeli-born singer has made many stops in her travels, including Germany, Paris, and finally, Los Angeles. Her unique talent for rich, dark melodies showcases a voice that not only draws you in, but still haunts you the next day. The Drifter & The Gypsy, Rosi's debut, generated several songs that were prominently featured on numerous television shows (including One Tree Hill and Private Practice) and in film (Dear John). On the strength of Drifter, Rosi embarked on a series of tours that saw her traipsing the globe before finally laying new roots down on the west coast where she began recording Lead Balloon.
Written over the past two years during breaks from touring, Lead Balloon perfectly captures the environment where Rosi brought each song to fruition - there is the bone-damp chill of London, the constant buzz of Brooklyn and the arid wind of Los Angeles. Produced by Tony Berg (Phantom Planet, Aimee Mann), the album moves fluidly between genres, containing songs steeped in Americana, clever pop currents running throughout, and thoughtful folk. "Every song was its own entity. The only thing that glued the record together was my voice, and maybe the constant of an acoustic guitar," says Rosi. The gorgeous title track "Lead Balloon" borrows from the best of country roots, with Golan harmonizing alongside a mournful lap steel, buoyed by its steady beat. If Lead Balloon serves as the album's thematic statement, the opener and lead single "Paper Tiger" is its contrast; a honey-vocalled kiss-off that chugs along to resolution through strings, triangles and a xylophone. Other notable tracks include the quietly stirring "Everything is Brilliant" and the heart wrenching "Fly Away."
