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.
The singer and performer Sanni Est embodies the essence of artistic self-expression. Her boundary-breaking, multi-disciplinary album "Photophobia" explores themes like posthuman worlds, vocal expression and music beyond the Western binaries, and the possibilities of decolonized music-making.
The artist Margaret Sohn releases their debut LP as Miss Grit. Using the creative alter ego to explore boundary breaking sounds and concepts of futuristic technology, the world they create is as unique as it is intriguing. This week we delve into their sound and update our Introducing playlist with brand new songs by artists like mui zyu, Hand Habits, Alaska Reid and more.
Every end of the month we are releasing a round-up of reviews of recent releases that moved us the most. These are the personal takes on hand-curated gems our team dug up (and the occasional chart topper), this time with artist Callum Pitt, Hak Baker, Sivu, M. Byrd and Olivia Dean. Which will be your favourite?
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.
The Swedish duo is one of the latest buzzing acts of the newcomer scene from Malmö and made a blasted return with their sophomore record this spring. NBHAP editor Andreas caught up with them for their Berlin appearance earlier in June to chat about passion for what they do, the process of evolving and essential priorities in the music business.
Five years after first showing up on our radar, the promising Norwegian duo, made up of Ida Knoph-Solholm and Alexander Breidvik, has finally released their debut. “The Sun Will Do You Good, They Said” delivers an impressive range of ideas and sounds that made it worth the wait.
The Catalonian rapper Santa Salut uses a triad of languages to express her emotions. Between radically political and deeply personal, she draws on Oldschool rap influences. In conversation with NBHAP, the 24-year-old talks about her love for rap, the meaning of multilingual art, and mythological sources of inspiration. Catch her live in Berlin on June 16th.
