ROZALLA
Rozalla (born Rozalla Miller, 18 March 1964, Ndola, Zambia) is a dance music
performer from Zambia born to a Zambian mother and an English father. "The
queen of rave" is best known for her 1991 hit "Everybody's Free (To Feel
Good)".
Initial success and debut album
Rozalla first came on the scene in the 1980s in Zimbabwe, the country she
had moved to from her birth country. Her singles charted well in the area and
an English record producer took her to London in 1988. Rozalla's career took
off when dance anthem "Everybody's Free (To Feel Good)" reached number 6
in the UK Singles Chart in 1991. The track soon crossed over to international
charts and reached the Top 10 in many European countries. It also reached
number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following year. It was followed by the
UK Top 20 hits "Faith (In The Power Of Love)" and "Are You Ready To Fly". Her
debut album Everybody's Free was released in 1992 and went silver in the UK.
She also worked with Michael Jackson on his 'Dangerous' tour, opening all of
his performances.
Second album
After a few lesser charting singles Rozalla recorded the theme song to the
film, Carlito's Way, "I Love Music" which enjoyed UK Top 20/U.S. Hot 100
success in 1994, but failed to emulate the international success of the singles
from her debut album. Further British hits followed in "Baby", "This Time I
Found Love" and "You Never Love The Same Way Twice". 1995 saw the release
of her second album Look No Further which was a commercial failure.
The quiet years
In 1996 Rozalla released a remix of "Everybody's Free", which was to become
her last UK Top 40 hit to date. Her third album Coming Home was quietely
released in 1998. The album had a Stateside club hit with its lead single,
"Don't Go Lose It Baby" which, however, failed to make an impact on the UK
chart.
For the next ten years Rozalla would only sporadically release new recordings
and her success was limited to various club charts. Her 'new' output would
primarily consist of remixes and rerecordings of her old hits. In 2002 she
enjoyed a hit single with a remix of "Everybody's Free" in Germany. She re-
emerged in 2003 alongside Plastic Boy on the vocal Trance hit single "Live
Another Life" which peaked at #55 in the UK and her track "All Or Nothing"
was a sizable club hit in 2005.
Recent times
Rozalla released a new album entitled Brand New Version on February 2,
2009. It featured a much more mellow, jazz/soul sound, with 8 new tracks, as
well as covers of Paul Weller's "Broken Stone" and Pete Doherty's "For Lovers",
as well as a bonus-track jazz-influenced remake of "Everybody's Free".
In the same week a Global Deejays remix of "Everybody's Free" entered the
Top 40 of the Australian charts. It has so far climbed to number 7, making it
Rozalla's highest charting and first Top 10 single in Australia.
Most recently, Rozalla can be found performing as the support act for Billy
Ocean on his current tour of England, under her full name, Rozalla Miller.
In May 2009 Rozalla became a patron of the charity All Star Kids [1]
