In BlauBird, there is that spellbinding, deep voice rooted in opera. Delicate lyrics and nocturnal melodies—gentle yet powerful at the same time. There is also a sense of melancholy and a poetic flight of fancy. After singing Mahler, Dowland, and Schubert for many years, BlauBird now offers us her unguarded self—her strangeness and her raw emotions. In doing so, she asserts a unique identity in the world of contemporary song—one that is at once demanding, melodious, and nourished by influences from around the globe.
These are nomadic tracks, where the influences of Barbara, Joan Baez, and Sinead O’Connor blend with the echoes of classical arpeggios and multiple languages (French, but also sometimes English, Yiddish, Arabic, or Spanish)—languages BlauBird handles as effortlessly as her exuberance, carrying us away to rediscover her roots in Eastern Europe and lose ourselves in the hanging gardens of the East.
