ROXANNE POTVIN – “I KNOW IT’S GOOD”
A Spill Exclusive MusicΒ Premiere
On her new five-song EP All It Was, JUNO Award-nominated singer/songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Roxanne Potvin goes deeper into her personal journey, adding more elements to an ever-expanding sound.
Having taken full control of her career with the self-produced, independently released 2016 album For Dreamingβcontaining the singles βI Thought Iβd Miss Youβ and βThe MarchββΒ All It Was builds on its predecessorβs βroots-popβ approach with the help of Potvinβs loyal team that includes guitarist Christine Bougie, organist Jesse OβBrien, bassist Mark McIntyre, drummer Olivier Fairfield and others.
The EPβs psychedelic-tinged title track sets the tone for a lyrical exploration of loveβs complexities, with Potvin also incorporating deep Southern soul on βI Know Itβs Good,β bittersweet balladry on βLast Days Of Summer,β breezy pop on βLonely Island,β and mesmerizing nouvelle chanson on βNuit Γlectrique.β
All It Was marks Potvinβs first release with Comino Productions, and its label imprint Comino Music, which has helped produce a βvideo EPβ that will serve as a companion piece to the music. The videos are directed by Ottawa visual artist Petr Maur and offer dynamically different perspectives on the songs, as well as placing Potvin on the cutting edge of providing listeners with a complete audio/visual experience.
Embracing new concepts has never been a problem for Potvin, who maintains a busy touring schedule on top of constantly writing and recording new material. All It Was is another major creative step forward for one of Canadaβs most accomplished musical artists.
Artist Quote
βAt this point, the creative process feels like driving with your eyes closed and trusting your gut,β Potvin says. βAfter 15 years I kind of feel like Iβve got a handle on it a bit moreβas in, Iβm still driving with my eyes closed but Iβm more confident now.βΒ
