If you know one, you know them all. That’s how it can go if you don’t want to give fast-flawing pop stars the necessary time to unfold. Then the copying machine is started. The greatest enemy of creative development.
sasami, 31-year-old songwriter from California, doesn’t have this problem at all. Her songs are also on her new album “squeeze” (Domino) so varied that sometimes you don’t want to believe that it all really comes from one person. She rocks around the corner (“Make It Right”), has no qualms about giving an edgy broadside to a potential catchy tune (“Call Me Home”), so that you end up almost sitting there a little flustered and pressing repeat because you do wants to understand.

“Tried To Understand” wins with the charm of a folk songwriter, while “Sorry Entertainer” conjures up a sound cosmos with slightly angry electric guitars in which she swims scratchy against the tide. Sasami can do many things and most of them convincingly. The almost experimental “Squeeze” fits just as logically into her song concept as the short cello piece “Feminine Water Turmoil”, with which she heralds the final non-love song. Sasami becomes a storyteller who can rely on the expressiveness of her voice. In the end, no song sounds like the other, and that’s a good thing.
It’s also exciting Berglind, the solo project of Giovanna Fartacek (Mynth). “Write it in the sand, we’re on it,” says in “Dream Louder” (Morinoko), a song with a special musical note and lyrical worlds of thought that come along astray, that you have to uncover in order to understand Berglind’s louder dreams. “Pure, vulnerable and direct,” says the accompanying text for the debut. One could also simply say mysterious, but formulated from the middle. Strong.

makes an impression “Where Have You Been” (concord) of Bad Ida. Garage soul implies that the music of the Vienna-based singer combines soul and dirt. That doesn’t go far enough in the categorization, because the blues also has its place in this song, the initially cautious guitar playing has a folk-rock touch and Ida’s voice resonates with pain, because love can sometimes hurt too. A song full of true feelings that has a lasting effect. Bad Ida’s debut album is planned for autumn.
When the touch of the exotic is paired with a touch of good humor, then this can really be a mood lifter, especially in times like these. stromae, French pop entertainer, served with “Santé” said encourager. A song that is contagious with its happiness. The highlight from the current album “multitude” (Polydor), for whom it would definitely be an advantage to also understand the language.
