Smoothly blending reggae, classic soul and melodic melancholy reminiscent of jazz sirens Billie Holiday, Ella Fitzgerald and modern-day Sade and Amel Larrieux, emerging artist Sophia Bastian purrs and emotes with the best of them. In a chill mood exploring on Spotify randomly one day, I gladly found Sophia’s 2010 self-titled EP and naturally gravitated back several times. Attracting growing media attention from MTVu, Vibe Magazine and Okayplayer, this lady’s clearly “breaking” through. Watch her videos below and listen to us discuss her series of happy [...]

ein paar schritte sind es nur durch diese welt. mit dem finger über die tastatur geflitzt und ein treffen ist arrangiert, gedanken ausgetauscht. die verlockende tiefe der anderen. macht ihres seins. sophia duccini hat bislang eine ep herausgebracht, die erschreckend unterbewertet blieb, denn sie drang kaum in die öffentlichkeit. dabei hat die junge dame aus der gegend um seattle alles, was gewisse gemeinden ansprechen könnte. stimme, songwriterisches talent, orientierung in der musikgeschichte und vor allem emotion. "inherited" wird baldigst einen nachfolger erhalten, "in the nature" erscheint am 25. mai. bis dahin vertreiben wir uns [...]

Nella mia immaginazione, il sonnambulo si sveglia nel cuore di una notte temporalesca, indossa le pantofole posate a bordo del letto, si alza stendendo le braccia dritte davanti a sé e comincia a girovagare lungo le stanze e i corridoi di un gelido cottage, mentre il soffio del vento sbatte sulle mura di pietra. Se questa è anche la vostra idea del fenomeno, di certo non sarete smentiti dall’ultimo disco di The Somnambulist . La band italo-tedesca infatti, guidata dal leader Marco Bianciardi , tiene fede al suo nome e con l’album Sophia Verloren cammina lungo [...]

Laura Marling – Colston Hall, Bristol 03/03/12 Five years into a musical career which appears to boast limitless potential, Laura Marling’s stage presence is utterly unrecognisable from that of the shy, slightly petrified-looking teenager who first appeared on our TV screens in her late teens. Having reached a grand old 22, the songstress still prefers to let her songs do most of the talking, but there was notable poise and quiet confidence in her demeanour as she ambled on to take centre stage at Colston Hall shortly after 9pm, flanked by a quintet of upper crust musicians.

In occasione dell’uscita di “Into the Waves”, tra zodiaco, acquerelli, destino e ricordi del passato, ecco l’intervista con Sophia Knapp . Ciao Sophia, presentati ai [...]

Een sepia distel in kikvorsperspectief, in een kadrering die de geur van motteballen en oma's zolder oproept, siert de hoes van Fixed water van Sophia . Het was in 1996 mijn toevallige kennismaking met muziek zoals die vandaag de playlist van het onvolprezen Duyster vult. Sophia bleek de band van Robin Proper-Sheppard, die voorheen al enig cultsucces kende met The God Machine , van wie ik ook al vrijwel enkel op basis van de platenhoes Scenes from the second storey had gekocht. Ik denk [...]

Internet star and the inspiration behind Ellen DeGeneres' Halloween costume, Sophia Grace Brownlee, returned to the morning talk show to cover another hit song from 2011. Though she showed off her prowess as a rapper by performing Nicki Minaj's "Super Bass" to the world's delight, the 8-year-old Brit took on Adele's "Rolling In The Deep". Does that mean Sophia and her 5-year-old cousin (and "hype girl") Rosie are going to meet Adele next?! Check out the adorable interview and their a cappella performance below. "Oh, that was so good!"

Pochi giorni fa vi avevamo mostrato il video di Sophia Grace Brownlee mentre cantava (anche bene!) la canzone "Super Bass" di Nichi Minaj , con il suo abito da principessa. Insieme a lei la sorellina, un po' più impacciata. Bene, questo video ha fatto il boom. Perfino Nichi stessa ha messo l'esibizione sul suo Facebook , apprezzandolo ( grazie ad _alias per avercelo segnalato! ). Così, Ellen De Generes ha invitato le due bambine prodigio nel suo show. E alla fine, ha fatto loro una sorpresa, facendole incontrare direttamente il loro idolo. [...]
