On “Swamp Pit”, the latest single from Rebecca Zapen’s critically praised and award-winning “Nest” album, the Jacksonville-based musician sings about romance with whimsy and wonder. Little did Zapen know when writing and recording the song that the universe would soon cast her in a real-life fairy tale. “A few years ago, I was hired to play violin in a canoe on the Hillsborough River as a surprise for a young couple for Valentine’s Day,” Zapen explains. “When the day came, I arrived with violin in hand, wearing my classical violinist attire. The canoe paddler arrived [...]

I believe Chicago is pretty high on the "hectic city list", but I'm currently in Logan Square , at my favorite local coffee shop and it feels like black Friday with all these folks here for their daily fix of caffeine-con-good-tunes. Thankfully I had this beautiful diddy by Rebecca Zapen in my "must post queue". Ms. Zapen is a classicly trained, smooth-folk-pop connesieur that puts a beautifully charming spin on this 802s classic. I've been lucky enough to find some similarly charming latin-jazz-folk tracks over the past year, from Tiny Desk Performances , to 702s [...]

Rebecca Zapen has been releasing music under the “Bashert” label since her 2003 debut. In Yiddish, bashert means soulmate, or perfect match. A few albums later, and Zapen’s not only built a nest with the perfect guy, but there’s a baby. Thence comes some of the inspiration for this cozy cabin (the kind with a fire crackling away in the grate) of sounds. The heavenly waltz of “Peace” is at the heart of Nest . It’s like Bashert’s a descendant of the Mary Hopkins (via Paul McCartney) and Sandy Denny lines of beautiful, oft-vintage-inspired sounds. There’s [...]
"Nest" es el nuevo álbum de Rebecca Zapen, cantante de Jacksonville, Florida, en donde el disco ha tenido una buena acogida por parte de la crítica. Está compuesto por un total de 13 canciones de pop-folk melódico entre las que se incluye una versión del tema "Addicted to Love" de Robert Palmer. Se trata sin duda de un disco muy intimista, que trata sobre las relaciones familiares analizadas desde un punto de vista muy especial, ya que Rebecca estaba embarazada cuando grabó el disco. [...]
Just head this very pleasant song from Florida's Rebecca Zapen where she plucks her Cavaquino quite nice. It's a somber feel with the string section and I'm looking forward to hearing the rest of her Nest album. Find more of that here . Lakewood [MP3]
