Five months into 2021 and we caught up with one of our artists to watch this year. The Berlin-based singer Mulay released her anticipated debut "ANTRACYTE". Somewhere between alternative RnB and contemporary pop, she continues to shape her own musical niche. We caught up with the artist to talk about the release and where else 2021 might take her.
The ongoing climate crisis can leave you numb and disillusioned from time to time. Instead of waiting for a miracle to happen or getting way too cynical it might be best to simply start doing little changes in your everyday life. Taking action is one aspect, redefining our relationship with nature in general is a whole different one. Acclaimed musician Martin Kohlstedt is fighting for exactly that and NBHAP head Norman spoke with him about his ambitious yet very pragmatic plan and how we all can learn something from it.
The Berlin-based neo-pop duo MADANII & LLUCID makes music with a political message that questions stereotypes, representation, and demands space in the Western hegemonic music industry. NBHAP author Liv spoke to the artists about their second EP 3RD 3YE and the interview series ORI3NTATION, which asks where stereotypes regarding the 'Orient' come from and how we can get rid of them.
Rosa Anschütz and NBHAP author Liv were scheduled for a Late Night talk in Berlin but the recent spike in Covid cases forced us to change plans. So last week, they found ourselves in front of another Zoom call – Rosa at her home base in Vienna, and Liv in Berlin. The Berlin-born artist moved to Austria where she is studying Transmedia Design at the local university while pursuing her own musical aspirations. 'Votive' is the artist’s debut LP.
Isolation is something we often seek to express ourselves creatively. But what happens to the creative mind when it is forced upon us? Beloved songwriter and producer Novaa shares her experience with having to face the blank page - musically and personally - in these uncertain times. After her acclaimed self-titled debut she now opens up about the struggles all of us are confronted with today and shares her advice on making the first brush stroke on the intimidating bare canvas.
It's been a while so we decided to catch up with beloved musician Alice Phoebe Lou once again to talk with her about her life as a young independent artist, a free spirit and the progress behind her long awaited new studio album.
