Freeze Where U R

Fred Fortuny dreamed of making a gleaming and melodic "American album", one with a natural quality like that of great records born in 1970's Laurel Canyon, by the Mamas and the Papas, the Byrds and Joni Mitchell, bands and names Fred recites passionately along with Jimmy Webb, Carol King, and of course the New York aesthetic of the Brill Building. If Fortuny isn't the only one with keys to the golden temple of these references, he has swallowed the keys and assimilated them gracefully and profoundly. Brisa Roché is one of America's most beautiful voices. A "complete" artist, she is singer, composer, writer and painter. Discovered in the jazz circuit

(signed first to Blue Note), Roché has freely explored many genres (tormented pop, neo-folk, electro-arty, postpunk) before coming back to her love of vocal driven songwriting and music-with-a-past, in perfect symbiosis with Fortuny.
