There is an essential power to early albums ~~~ and Because of a Flower, both of which catapulted her into indie fame. The tracks which settle on notes both ethereal and cultural, with incorporations of read text, are personal looks into Roxanne’s contemplations on gender and being, her identity as intersex leading to inner reflection coming through in her music.
It would be wrong however to place Roxanne in a haughty ivory tower, her music is accessible as well as deep. It's honest and gorgeous, with tracks such as I’m Every Sparkly Woman, and Camille, showcasing her ethereal singing. Offered up amongst tracks that are heavily ambient and incorporate field recordings, there’s a grounding in the human. She has a pop sensibility, a touch of a classic ballad from the likes of R&B legends Roxanne listened to in her youth as well as the traces of the choir singing that influenced her young life as well. In a time when life is expected to move at breakneck speed, Roxanne’s music serves as a poignant reminder that human existence is a dish often better served and savoured slowly.
