Daniel ROA Daniel ROA released today a new single with video, for the song Popsicle (English Version). This single is the English version of a song from his sophomore album, Hyperbole, which was released last November and recently garnered a Western Canadian Music Award for Francophone Album of the Year, in addition to two nominations in other categories.
“The song Popsicle was originally written in English, but was translated into French in order to include it my album Hyperbole in 2011”, says Daniel ROA. “This gives me a chance to offer a little something to my English-speaking fans, all the while allowing me to present the song in its original form!” The single is available as of today on iTunes as well as Bandcamp, and the video can be viewed from the artist’s official YouTube page.
An artist to make you dance, an artist to make you think… Daniel ROA moves us to take a fresh look at the world with all its wretchedness and beauty, and it is in this search for lightness that Daniel ROA invites us to join him. With his most recent album, Hyperbole, Daniel ROA promises to take us away with his groove, his energy, his ubiquitous joy, and, as always, a wink and a gun.
