Fig Tree is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Rozzi. It was released on May 8, 2026, through Mr. Moon Records and was produced entirely by the acclaimed producer and multi-instrumentalist Mocky.[1][2] Inspired by the fig tree metaphor from Sylvia Plath's 1963 novel The Bell Jar, the album explores themes of adulthood, relationships, identity, and life choices.[3]
Background
editRozzi began writing material for Fig Tree after turning 30 and reflecting on major life decisions involving relationships, marriage, and parenthood.[3] During the album's development, she drew inspiration from Sylvia Plath's 1963 novel The Bell Jar and Sheila Heti's novel Motherhood, both of which explore themes of identity, adulthood, and life choices. The album takes its title from the fig tree metaphor in The Bell Jar, in which the protagonist imagines different futures represented by figs on a tree. Rozzi stated that the metaphor resonated with her own experiences navigating uncertainty and the pressure of choosing among different life paths.[3][4]
Produced by Mocky, the album was recorded in Los Angeles. According to Rozzi, the recording process emphasized collaboration, live performance, and minimal editing, with many songs recorded in a single take. The album features contributions from musicians and songwriters including Jack Stratton, Larry Goldings, Leo Abrahams, Wendy Wei-Jo Wang, Eric Leva, and Zak Waters.[5]
In conjunction with the album's release, Rozzi collaborated with New York's Ki Smith Gallery on an interdisciplinary art project inspired by the record. Rozzi, alongside a panel of celebrity judges like Gia Coppola, Simon Le Bon, Julian Lennon, Kiersey Clemons, and Simon Shaw, selected artists to showcase original artworks inspired by the tracks on her upcoming album. The project featured original works by 26 visual artists interpreting the album's themes and songs, and was accompanied by a residency of live performances by Rozzi.[6][2]
Release and promotion
editFig Tree was released on May 8, 2026, through Mr. Moon Records.[5][1] The album was preceded by the singles "Fig Tree", "Hold Tight", "Good News" and "All for a Man".[2][4]
To promote the album, Rozzi participated in interviews discussing its literary influences and themes of adulthood, personal growth, and self-discovery.[3][4] She also performed material from the album during her Ki Smith Gallery residency, which later expanded to Los Angeles.[6][2][7] Also, Rozzi appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show during Season 7 (Episode 124), which aired on April 28, 2026. During her appearance, she performed her single "All For a Man" from her album Fig Tree.[8][9]
