Acclaimed adult alternative singer/songwriter Joshua Radin will be hitting the road in
May for select tour dates in support of his upcoming self-released album Wax Wings, due on May 7.
The title
Wax Wings comes from Greek Mythology and the story of Icarus and his
attempt to escape from Crete (the
largest of the Greek Islands) by means of wings that his craftsman father
constructed from solely feathers and wax.
Icarus ignored instructions not
to fly too close to the sun, and in the process came too close, which
melted the wax. The melting wax caused him to fall into the sea where he
drowned which today bears his name, the Icarian Sea. Radin followed the same path of flight with this album…
letting curiosity guide his path in order to conquer the sky.
"This album is the
story of a romance," he said. "But there's no beginning and no end. It's more circular
than linear. Often, in my past songs, I've referred to my love as the sun.
I flew too close to that sun on wings made of wax, and when they melted, I
fell, over and over again."
