Jazmine Mary Announces 'I Want To Rock And Roll' Album Release Tour
As Tāmaki Makaurau's Marty Sauce and The Sauce once asked (loudly), "What is rock / What is not?" Articulator of unfathomable feelings in song and sound, Jazmine Mary is unpacking similar territory — most likely from a more nuanced angle — on their forthcoming new album I Want To Rock And Roll, out on 13th June and available for preorder via Holiday Records HERE. It would be tricky to embody that relatable sentiment without some live gigs, and thankfully Jazmine Mary has announced today a six date album release tour, taking the award-winning songwriter all about Aotearoa with full band during our winter months of June, July and August.
In fine company with fellow luminaries Julia Deans, Boh Runga, Dianne Swann and Vera Ellen on the Atomic! 2.0 tour (wrapping up in Wellington and Auckland this week), Jazmine Mary's upcoming third record was written during "a whiplash two years of highs and lows", as the artist explains...
"I was feeling such devastation and heartbreak and sadness in the last two years, that when there were moments of relief from that, that's when I was writing. They're expressed in moments of relief because it turns out, when you're in bed, sad, you can't write music".
