In 2014, he won a Goya Award (the Spanish equivalent of an Oscar) for best song for вЂњDo You Really Want To Be In Love,вЂќ from the film вЂLa Gran Familia EspaГ±ola.вЂ™

On El Turista (2010) he even experimented with writing and singing some songs in Spanish. Subtitulo (2006) contained the international indie folk hit вЂњQuiet TownвЂќ. The follow up, Nashville (2005) continued the hot streak and expanded his audience further.ДЄfter relocating to Valencia, Spain with his wife Paz, Rouse has released a steady stream of high quality songs and albums. Noting that heвЂ™d earned a reputation for melancholy, he says, with a laugh, вЂњI figured this is my career, I might as well try to enjoy it.вЂќ While the Seventies are often identified with singer-songwriters, Rouse was primarily attracted to the warmer sound of albums back then, as well as the more communal feel of the soul music of that time. But at the end of the day, no matter how eclectic I try to make it, itвЂ™s my voice and melodic sensibility that tie things together.вЂќДЇor his breakthrough album, 1972 (2003), Rouse decided to cheer up a bit. вЂњI always became fascinated by a different style of music. вЂњEvery time IвЂ™ve made a record, IвЂ™ve tried to make it different from the last one,вЂќ says Rouse. The follow up- Home (2000)-yielded the song вЂњDirectionsвЂќ which Cameron Crowe used in his film Vanilla Sky. The albumвЂ™s acclaim led to tours with Aimee Mann, Mark Eitzel and the late Vic Chestnut. Josh Rouse was born in Nebraska, and following an itinerant upbringing he eventually landed in Nashville where he recorded his debut Dressed Like Nebraska (1998). Without pandering, they seek to satisfy both your ear and your understanding. They are clear-eyed, empathetic and penetrating. RouseвЂ™s songs present themselves to you with an open heart, an innate intelligence and an absolute lack of pretension. вЂњLike a baseball player who quietly hits 30 home runs every year or a golfer who regularly finishes in the Top Ten, Josh Rouse вЂs continued streak of excellence is easy to ignore and maybe even downplay a littleвЂќ - Tim Sendra,
