“I believe the world is hungry to hear
songs about love. Enough about bad romance and hate and war. Music should be
easy on the ear.”
Entering into the music world with a devastating
heartbreak, the incomparable Roxanna penned “Unforgotten,” a sorrowful but
soulful song, threaded with hope for tomorrow. “That song was my therapy,” Roxanna
notes. “It just poured out of me, and helped me believe all of this happened
for a reason.”
With the introduction to Exotica, lead single “Close Your Eyes” takes you on a personal journey
with its dramatic storyline and emotional lyrics, Roxanna’s heartfelt message
is strongly emphasized by the elegance of her gorgeous vocals. “There is a light at the end of the tunnel,
after every storm there is a rainbow, just an overall hope in the end.”
Roxanna believes, “Music should bring pleasure, it
should be elegant and relaxing. It’s all about friendship, pleasure, romance,
love and beauty.” Roxanna’s world of experience is translated through her passion
for music and songwriting. She was born in Iran in the midst of an ongoing war
with Iraq. As a child, she turned to music for balance and tranquility,
religiously mimicking the English-language songs of Olivia Newton-John.
After traveling the world and experiencing both
heartbreak and love, Roxanna has teamed up with the best in the industry to
release Exotica, a collection of
stories that are universal and inspiring.
Roxanna is determined to
craft every song and lyric as relatable to whomever will take a listen with the
intention to always spread love and healing through her romantic songs and stories.
It was while studying to be a nurse that
Roxanna witnessed first hand the healing power of music. Roxanna sang each
night to a young man battling cancer. When he was released, the man’s father
said to her, “My son is better because of the way you sang to him.” With that,
she realized that music, like medicine is a great healer and it was then hat
she realized she needed to pursue signing as a career.
For her full-length album, she contacted well-known producer
Mark Portmann credited with working with Julio Iglesias, Barbra Streisand, and
Christina Aguilera. It was her rendition of Aguilera’s “Lift Me Up” that
convinced Portmann to bring Roxanna under his wing. And what spawned from their
collaboration was Exotica, a
seamless, mastered mix of adult contemporary, classic pop, and world music.
Listening through the album, you’ll be taken on a
journey of love … from the first moment of flirtation to the confidence you
find with everlasting love.
Featuring a string of romantic songs including new
renditions of The Hollies 1972 hit song, “The Air That I Breathe,” and Lionel
Richie’s 1984 smash hit, “Hello”.
