The Actor and Musician Discusses Her New Album, "Songs of L.A."
There’s a unique quality that actors and actresses bring to songwriting and musicianship. Oftentimes, they create works that lean heavily on the idea that the singer - or narrator - is a character. Of course, all musicians and songwriters do this to some extent, but there’s another level of commitment when it’s done by a musician who also happens to be an actor.
Rebecca Pigeon is well-known in both worlds, as an actress and as a musician and songwriter. This year she’s released her 11th full-length album titled, Songs of LA which explores the City of Angles’ by simultaneously studying its daytime sunshine alongside the town’s hauntingly dark nights. Pidgeon’s long-time writing partner - David Batteau - worked on many of these songs with Rebecca before pandemic sidelined the project. Here, Rebecca fuses her acting chops with her songwriting and performing prowess.
Join Rebecca and I on this episode as she takes me on a journey through some of tinseltown’s creepiest back-alleys as we discuss her new album, her multifaceted career and how everything that glitters in La La Land isn’t always gold.
