New Roesy album on the way

You can get a taster online.

The Hot Press Newsdesk, 11 Mar 2010

Roesy returns to the fray on April 23 with Fable, his fourth album, which was mainly assembled in New York where he’s now living and playing a rake of shows over the next couple of weeks in celebration of Paddy’s Day – see myspace.com/roesymusic for details. The page also has a stream of new track ‘Motherless Child’, which is a re-arrangement of a traditional tune.

We’re also loving the promo he’s made for another Fable track, ‘Stardust’, with video artist John Pender.

Trailin' The True Star

With his recent Colour Me Colourful LP proved something of a gem, the release of the swoonsome 'Trailin' The True Star' testifies to the Birr man's true power, swelling with rich nocturnal imagery and beautiful one liners. Armed with uplifting melodies, Roesy soars without ever succumbing to bombast. Always subtle, hints of the great Leonard Cohen crop up throughout. A joy to have him back.

Roesy live @ Whelans, Dublin

It’s no surprise when Roesy opens his second Dublin gig with the title-song of his latest album, the soulful 'Colour Me Colourful'. What is unexpected however, is that he dedicates it to the Garda who just caught him breaking a red light in an effort to get to the venue on time.

Colour Me Colourful

This, Roesy’s fourth album, sees the Birr man moving up a few gears, applying a more electric sheen to gloss up his normally acoustic-based and introspective approach.

One Of The Same

Birr’s Alan Roe, aka Roesy, returns with a simple, sing-a-long single, recorded with Ken McHugh of Autamata fame. Such is Roesy’s ear for a good tune, this seems specifically born to be played on the radio as you head to the countryside for a long sun-drenched afternoon. It’s a celebratory, warm ditty which implies good things for the album it’s taken from, Colour Me Colourful.

Hell Bent On You

'Hell Bent On You' isn’t an obvious single but that's all part of it’s charm.

Only Love Is Real

t’s a lovely album in the best sense of the word, Rosey’s warm vocals matched by a musical background that manages to be inventive without being intrusive.

The Spirit Store

Sure, this is Roesy live and dangerous on stage at The Spirit Store in Dundalk, but he might as well have been beamed up into your living room, such is the intimacy and immediacy the album creates, despite its miserly 32 minutes.

Sketch The Day, Paint The Sky

10 songs, 43 minutes, this is yet another fine Irish album where less is overwhelmingly more
