NY/East Coast Jazz vocalist Kosi presents her 5th album, a rewarding album of original songs that depict her experiences touring as an independent singer-songwriter through jazz idioms influenced by blues and rock forms, her strong voice emotional and expressive while supported by a core sextet of New York musicians; lyrical, solid, passionate.
Format: CD Condition: New Released: 2018 Country: USA Packaging: Jewel Case Recorded at The ice Plant, in Long Island City, New York, by Joe Davi and Wayne Silverny.
"Stranger in Every Town is a concept album depicting the highs and lows and existential terror of solo touring as an independent singer-songwriter. Much like a touring artist, the album itself travels through sonic and spiritual spaces, from a rollicking celebration of freedom to the desperation of fleeting but meaningful connections to the overwhelming dread of endless searching without a clear object. This album is less of a collection of songs and more of a journey, moving forwards and backwards simultaneously, looping over itself in the middle in a declaration of simultaneous self assurance and bewilderment, and ending exactly where it began, but breathless and shaking."
"Kosi's fifth album is a jazzy, soulful, and often metaphysical journey into the world of solo travel and independent touring."-CD Baby
