Wildflowers

Description

Lisa Bassenge is back, and she brought flowers! With "Wildflowers" she completes her trilogy, again with Jacob Karlzon on piano and Andreas Lang on bass - as already with "Borrowed and Blue" (2018) and "Mothers" (2020). Eleven songs, seemingly thrown together and yet - from one cast. The spectrum on "Wildflowers" ranges from Dolly Parton to Depeche Mode, from Bob Dylan to Death Cab for Cutie. In addition, Lisa Bassenge's enigmatic-melancholic original composition "Morning Song". A colorful bouquet, but the way those three arrange and present it, the individual pieces don't seem thrown together, but like chapters of a story. Each one shimmers on its own, but the whole is more than the sum of its parts. This is also true of the trio itself. The two musicians - Jacob Karlzon from Sweden and Andreas Lang from Denmark - embed Lisa Bassenge's unmistakable voice in a warm sound that is Scandinavian in the best sense: relaxed, but always engaging; very playful, but never intrusive. "This sound found us," says Lisa Bassenge. And on "Wildflowers" the three have brought it to perfection. Every beat of the album is a testimony to the incredible chemistry between the singer and the musicians. Also connecting the songs is the quality of the lyrics. They are poetic lyrics of existential depth, and in Lisa Bassenge's haunting interpretation and crystal-clear phrasing they become intoxicating head cinema.Is this jazz, pop or chanson? With "Wildflowers", the Lisa Bassenge Trio once again confidently demonstrates how fluid the boundaries are between supposedly completely different genres. This music needs no genre label. It's all about the beauty and truth of the songs.Lisa Bassenge is one of the most successful German jazz singers, with 575,000 monthy listeners on Spotify, and tracks with millions streams.
