Cherry Red Records Zazu 25th Anniversary Edition

RE-PRESS: CD ORIGINALLY RELEASED IN 2011
Vogue cover model turned singer-songwriter Rosie Vela’s 1986 one and only album. Contains the UK Top 30 single and radio perennial ‘Magic Smile’.
Produced by longtime Steely Dan collaborator Gary Katz, ‘Zazu’ reunited band members Walter Becker (on guitar) and Donald Fagen (on keys) to work together for the first time after a six year hiatus.
Brimming over with hypnotic melodies and elusive lyrics, Rosie’s unique songwriting and deeply sensuous vocal scat singing style – bolstered by the superlative musicianship of Becker, Fagen and co – mark this as a ‘lost classic’ of West Coast adult contemporary rock.
Will appeal to both Steely Dan completists and fans of Vela who sent the album into the UK Top 20 on its original release.
Booklet features full discography, single sleeves and liner notes by former Attitude editor Adam Mattera.
