Rebecca Roubion is a local indie/pop artist, and you know I love showing them some love! Her new album “FIELDS” is a four-track EP that will be released digitally Nov. 27th. This EP has a sister album entitled “FORESTS” which will be out at a later date.
Rebecca’s voice is undeniably enjoyable and unique, reminiscent of Norah Jones. The music itself features Rebecca on the keys, and carries an overall jazzy kind of feel – it’s almost hard to place, but impossible not to enjoy.
It was this feel of the music that first drew me in. I typically listen intently to lyrics when reviewing an album; however, I quickly realized that I would enjoy the music not because of what Rebecca was singing, but how she was singing and playing it.
And yet, that doesn’t mean the lyrics aren’t meaningful: through the songs run common themes and experiences that anyone can relate to, although Rebecca finds a way to convey them in poignant, unique ways.
