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 english producer Christopher Sergeant took her to London in 1988. She later started living there and Christopher became her manager. Rozalla's career took off when Everybody's Free (To Feel Good) reached number 6 in the UK charts in 1991. The track soon crossed over to international charts and reached number 37 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following year. Her debut album was named after her debut hit and also included her UK Top 20 hits Faith (In the Power of Love) and Are You Ready To Fly. She also worked with Micheal Jackson on his "Dangerous" tour, opening all of his performances.
Rozalla subsequently recorded the theme song to the film Carlito's Way, I Love Music which enjoyed UK Top 20/US Hot 100 success in 1994. Further British hits followed with the songs titled "Baby", "This Time I Found Love" and "You Never Love The Same Way Twice". During 1995 saw the release of her second album "Look No Further".
In 1996 Rozalla released a remix of Everybody's Free, which entered the UK Top 40. Her third album Coming Home was released in 1998. The album had a statesite club hit with its lead single, Don't Go Lose It Baby which, however, failed to make an impact on the UK charts.
In 2002 she enjoyed a surprise German hit single with a remix of Everybody's Free. She re-emerged in 2003 alongside Plastic Boy on the vocal Trance hit single Live Another Life. It peaked at #55 in the UK. In 2005 she released a new version of You Never Love The Same Way Twice and Are You Ready To Fly was remixed by Northernbeat. Her track "All Or Nothing" was a sizable club hit in 2005. It performed better on and appeared on more club/dance music charts in the UK than her previous recordings.
Rozalla released an album entitled Brand New Version on February 2, 2009, under her full name Rozalla Miller. It featured a more mellow jazz/soul sound, with eight new tracks, as well as covers of Paul Weller's "Broken Stones" and Pete Doherty's "For Lovers", as well as a bonus-track jazz-influenced remake of "Everybody's Free". The album received critical acclaim, and was played on a wide range of UK radio stations, including Radio 2, and Jazz FM.
In February 2009, a Global Deejays remix of "Everybody's Free" entered the Top 40 of the Australian charts. It climbed to number 7, making it Rozalla's highest charting and first Top 10 single in Australia.
Rozalla performed as the support act for Billy Ocean on his 41 date tour of the UK in 2009, under her full name, Rozalla Miller, singing material from her new album, backed by her band. She has also performed at the iconic jazz venues The Jazz Cafe, and Pizza on the Park, headlining two nights to rapturous audiences.
In May 2009, Rozalla became a patron of the charity All Star Kids. In 2014, she released the single "Can You Feel The Love". After a protracted silence, Rozalla returned to the Billboard Hot Dance Club Play with "If You Say It Again" in 2015.
Are You Ready to Fly?
Rozalla Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I look through your eyes
Grey is for waiting not knowing
You're going to be by my side
Red is for warning and blue is the colour
And yellow is love
Black is the colour of night
When you're lying with me
Are you ready to fly
Can you leave the world behind, baby baby
Are you ready to fly
Together we'll reach for the sky
When I hear you calling me
My heart is jumping and I want you so much
This rainbow emotion is starting to thrill me
I feel good inside
Kaleidoscope spinning as you start to touch me
We're purple and gold
We live in the focus of love
And we're drifting away
Are you ready to fly
And leave the world behind, baby baby
Are you ready to fly
Together we'll reach for the sky
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly
Oh you know I'm watching your colours keep flashing
I look through your eyes
Grey is for waiting not knowing
You'll be by my side
And red is for warning and blue is my feeling
Black is the colour of the night
When you're lying with me
Are you ready to fly
And leave the world behind, baby baby
Are you ready to fly
Together we'll reach for the sky
Are you ready to fly oh yeah ooh
Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready
Are you ready tell me

Are you ready to fly
Are you ready to fly

Fly with me oh I
Are you ready to fly
Can you leave the world behind
Are you ready to fly

Are You Ready To Fly ( Você está pronto para voar) 😍😍 Você sabe que eu estou vendo suas cores continuarem piscando
eu olho através de seus olhos
Cinza é para esperar sem saber
Você vai estar ao meu lado
Vermelho é para aviso e azul é a cor
E amarelo é amor
Preto é a cor da noite
Quando você está mentindo comigo
Você está pronto para voar
Você pode deixar o mundo para trás, baby, baby
Você está pronto para voar
Juntos vamos alcançar o céu
Quando eu ouço você me chamando
Meu coração está pulando e eu te quero tanto
Esta emoção do arco-íris está começando a me emocionar
me sinto bem por dentro
Caleidoscópio girando enquanto você começa a me tocar
Nós somos roxos e dourados
Vivemos no foco do amor
E estamos nos afastando
Oh, você sabe que estou vendo suas cores continuarem piscando
eu olho através de seus olhos
Cinza é para esperar sem saber
Você estará ao meu lado
E vermelho é um aviso e azul é meu sentimento

This song is pure heaven. Always thought this single was much better than Everybody's Free (ironically her biggest hit), has better instrumentation and her vocals shine on bright here. A total gem.
