The Moroccan-Yemeni artist AŸA is about to release her debut live album “AŸA - Live in Berlin”, allowing us to relive her iconic 2023 concert at Kesselhaus. Opening the door to an enchanting world where music meets fashion and gymnastics, AŸA escapes reality through pop and R&B melodies. Here is what she told us about the journey that took her there.

Hanover-based musician Joy Bogat bursts into the room with her powerful new album “Fabric of Dreams”. Sailing through RnB, spoken word, and soul, she reminds us that showing vulnerability is not for the weak - and the only ingredient that makes the connection with other humans so compelling. Ahead of her Germany tour, we caught up with Joy.

The British band The Last Dinner Party quickly made a name for themselves with their intense live shows. The debut record “Prelude to Ecstasy” lives in contrasts: biblical references meet lust, feminism, and queer sex and elegant corsets burst into dirty rock ‘n’ roll. Here’s what Abigail Morris, Aurora Nishevci, and Lizzie Mayland told us about little sins and the Catholic church.

"A Little Lost, A Little Found" uses the wide reach of pop music to start important and necessary conversations. Finally having found herself again after a time of struggle, British singer and songwriter Grace Carter took NBHAP by the hand and walked us through the growing pains of a young woman of Colour, using music as a weapon in the battle against social injustice.

Rebranding indie-rock with velvety vocals and dreamy guitars, Berlin-based artist Lore Vain is stepping into a brand new era with her upcoming album "Agony The Muse". With an emphasis on the importance of creative control, she talks to us about writing in different languages and the magic of finding her own sound.

After years of silence, Sivu returns to the scene with his third studio album inevitably flowing out of him. In an ode to creative freedom, he sat down with NBHAP author Giulia for an exclusive conversation on experimental songwriting, finding hope and on the lasting inspiration of family life.

Debuting with a fascinating genre-bending record, Anglo-Irish musician Hugh Sheehan takes the listener by their hand and guides them through the exploration of queerness in all its nuances. NBHAP author Giulia Leonarduzzi had an in-depth talk about the debut album.

Dreamy nostalgia permeates The Haunted Youth’s debut album, transporting a mystical dimension where pain and relief are two sides of the same coin. After a remarkable year of touring and skyrocketing numbers on the lead single "Teen Rebel", the band’s frontman Joachim Liebens sits down with NBHAP author Giulia Leonarduzzi at Cologne's c/o pop Festival.
