Rosi Golan found herself endearingly encased in a scarf, wool hat, and flannel overcoat on a sunny Spring day for her first Philadelphia appearance. Sitting upon the stage of the Tin Angel, the ineffably charming pint-sized folk chanteuse performed songs from her debut, The Drifter & the Gypsy, for a modest yet engrossed audience. Her songs blend the chicness of New York scenesters with the playful pop artistry of VH1’s “You Oughta Know.” The alt. country of “Think of Me” displayed a beautiful and delicately dejected romanticism, “I Don’t Wanna Wait” could’ve been the perfect solo sing-along for a lonely desert drive, and “C’est L’amour” had the sound of a modern day fairy tale of the hippest princess in the kingdom.
