3 Künstler/Bands akustisch à 30 Minuten
NAIMA + ROBERT JOHN HOPE + MEIKO
NAIMA
In Naimas Musik hallen der Beat von Whitest Boy alive und die warmen Melodien von Fleetwood Mac nach, gemischt mit einer Handvoll cooler Synthesizers. Sie singt Lieder über Gedichte in ihren Augen. Über Hochs und Tiefs und ihre Familie aus Wölfen. Klischeefrei und multidimensional optimistisch. Musik für Party und Seele mit echten Discotränen.
ROBERT JOHN HOPE
Robert John Hope ist ein irischer, in Berlin lebender, Singer-Songwriter, dessen Musik auf Ambient Folk und alternativem Pop/Rock basiert. Sein Gesang wurde als „ethereal“ (Hotpress Magazine, IRE) beschrieben, und mit einem Stimmumfang, der von „Matt Bellamys dramatischem Stil, zu Eddie Vedder und Thom Yorke“ (Mail On Sunday, UK) reicht.
MEIKO
More than a dozen years into her unique career — a career with highlights including multiple records of singer/songwriter indie-pop; a chart-topping hit in Japan; a fan base stretching from Los Angeles to Tokyo; and countless solo concerts featuring little more than her acoustic guitar and breathily expressive voice — Meiko gets back to the basics with In Your Dreams.
It’s her fifth album of original material, written and recorded before she left her recent home of Nashville, TN, and relocated to Germany with her little family. With its light instrumentation and melodic hooks, In Your Dreams also nods to Meiko’s self-titled debut, whose minimalist songs helped kickstart her career in 2007. Back then, she was a cash-strapped cocktail waitress in Los Angeles, struggling to fund her album’s recording sessions with the tips she earned working at the Hotel Cafe. The songs that found their way onto that debut record were sparsely arranged out of necessity; Meiko simply couldn’t afford to dish out the money for a full band.
