Melbourne singer songwriter Shelley Segal has returned to Australia ahead of her third album ‘An Easy Escape’.
Atheist storyteller Shelley had been living in New York. She says she has been a “global gypsy” for the past five years. She has toured America and Europe eight times in the past two years. She has also completed two Australian tours.
‘An Easy Escape’ was recorded in London at Britannia Row Studios, where Pink Floyd used to work. The album was produced by Tom Nichols, who has worked with Tina Arena and Celine Dion.
Shelley filmed the video for the single ‘Morocco’ in Morocco. “We worked with an amazing local team and completed the clip in two days! It was a whirlwind of people, bustling markets and beautiful seaside,” Segal says.
She describes the song as an upbeat, pop song. “I was inspired to write ‘Morocco’ when I visited Marrakech and Essaouira. I was completely blown away by the beauty of the country and the colourful, carefree, fun time that was available to me as a tourist,” explains Shelley. “Slowly as the trip went on I began to see some of the darker sides of what it was like for many who lived there.”
Shelley will perform two shows to launch the ‘An Easy Escape’ album.
Shelley Segal dates
June 13, Melbourne, Northcote Social Club
June 26, Sydney, The Vanguard
