Rosie Burgess - Wait For The World (Album)
Indie acoustic/folk artist Rosie Burgess has released her third album, Wait For The World with a new band line up; including musicians such as Sam Lohs,(harmonies) Jimi Hocking(mandolin) and Sophie Kinston(violin).
Rosie has came a long way since her previous release Humble Pie gaining national success, touring, running an Independent Grassroots Record Label, and working with two current musical projects, Rosie has been on the move.
Although the acoustic/folk genre doesn’t regularly hit my playlist, when it does it is well enjoyed, and Rosie Burgess has slipped into it quite smoothly.
There are some sound references to similar artists such as Missy Higgins, Angus & Julia Stone and of course Rosie Burgess’s individual sounds as well, which is refreshing to hear an acoustic artist with something new to offer.
The musicianship captured throughout this album astonishes, with well crafted violin, cello, mandolin, harmonicas and piano lines throughout this monster fifteen tracker, Burgess has nailed down a solid album.
Rosie offers you her views and experiences as you listen through, taking you from childhood moments to everyday situations, the way these ideas are expressed are charming and intriguing.
Complimenting these great pieces of work is a well balanced example of sound production, raw sounds yet smooth to the ear.
The album artwork is a nice simple piece of hand painted folk art which is thoughtfully printed on recycled cardboard (thankyou Rosie) in which you get a booklet including lyrics and photos of various musicians, cats and things.
Inside this booklet you will also find out that Rosie is a supporting vegan, with “$1 from every copy of this cd will be donated to Animals Australia. I believe in saving animals from situations of cruelty and pain.”
Overall the album is another beautiful collection of Rosie’s songs, definitely a worthwhile listen.
