What's hot and what's not? Hamburg's annual music industry get together gave us hundreds of artists to answer this more or less essential question. Three of us went out to explore the musical microcosm of the Reeperbahn on these four nights and these are the performances that surely left a mark.
‘We worry about your health’ is the statement that introduces the exciting debut album of the British singer Nilüfer Yanya. After two EPs and gigs with several namely artists like The XX, Interpol, and Sharon Van Etten it was about time. From the first listen on it is clear, that this is not a regular album but a conceptual piece of art. The fierce confidence the twenty-three-year-old radiates, when she is behind the microphone is a little less fierce in person, when we met the singer in Berlin.
