How do you keep an overview about the countless new releases in the world of music? Well, easier said than done but thank god the staff of NBHAP keeps an overview. In this column one from the team personnally reflects on the past four weeks and the music that matters during this time. For the start of this new column it's the turn of NBHAP head Norman to ramble about our favourite passion in the world.
On her search for hope in times of despair, Peruvian artist Sofia Kourtesis found it in the work of a famous neurosurgeon and her Berlin community. Her first full-length album "Madres" tells the story of her mother's recovery, of finding and nurturing family, and of fighting against homophobia. Norman Fleischer met with Sofia to discuss some of these topics.
This year has been a challenge for all of us and we were lucky enough to have such tremendous records on our side to comfort us in difficult times. From gentle melancholia, to raging fury - the albums of 2020 had a lot of stories to tell and these are the ones our staff enjoyed the most. If you haven't listened to all of them you now got a whole lockdown winter ahead of you to do that.
Yes, you’ve read right, this ain’t no joke. British experimental electronic producer Kieran Hebden aka FOUR TET really did a remix of Suit & Tie, the comeback single by US superstar JUSTIN TIMBERLAKE. Recently the singer already gave us a tight house rework by JULIO BASHMORE. But this one is really surprising and the two worlds really collide very well, we must say. The original can be found on The 20/20 Experience, TIMBERLAKE‘s first musical output in seven years which will be released on March 19. Check out JUSTIN‘s soulful vocals on Hebden’s beats right here.
