33 SINGLE & BROKE

Description

"33, Single & Broke" - both a title and a statement. The exceptional singer-songwriter from New Zealand, Teresa Bergman, returns with her third studio album: jazzy folk-pop. The album as a whole, and particularly on tracks like "Aaron," "Checkout Tears," and "Old Timer," harks back to the folk sound of the 60s and 70s. Simultaneously, the songs are modern with lyrics that are clearly topical, set against bold arrangements and lush jazzy harmonies. A crystal-clear voice with moving simplicity. The album's first track, 'Swallow,' immediately transports the listener to poetry, offbeat rhythmic changes, classically inspired piano arpeggios, and a flamboyant voice. Teresa Bergman creates a fictional character throughout the album '33, Single & Broke' - much like Bowie's Ziggy Stardust. On the album cover and in a series of five music videos, we meet "Marie," a modern and provocative version of Marie Antoinette.
