Clara Engel

Per questa volta spazio ad un'artista emergente, anche se, questo termine può portare un tantino su una pista sbagliata, dato il fatto che lei in realtà ha già  pubblicato ben 8 lavori tra Ep, singoli e full-lenght...si tratta di Clara Engel, musicista canadese (precisamente di Montreal):

"Tangerines"

La sua biografia su facebook (www.facebook.com/claraengelmusic) dice così:

Both fierce and delicate, Clara Engel’s music is reminiscent of an era in history when theatre, art, and music were an integral part of a bigger and more vital whole, an era that the 21st century is craving more than ever. Her arresting, androgynous voice and presence, coupled with lyrics that stand alone as poetry, set Clara’s work apart from current music trends. Poet Janaka Stucky describes Engel’s work as “timeless songs that sound at home in the ribcage of rock n roll’s skeleton." The underground, multi-faceted Canadian artist has independently released 6 albums, and collaborated with musicians from the UK, Germany, Brazil, and the USA. In the words of Jeremy Reed, Britain’s most dynamic, adventurous, and controversial poet: “"Clara Engel's voice comes to me from that deepest of all places, imaginative space, from which she visually retrieves an inner landscape converted by breath into the rock equivalent of poetry. Rarely has a voice sounded so authoritative, so unapologetic in its disclosures, so sure of its direction in going home into song. I'd say 'Madagascar' beats them all, and it's only a beginning at harnessing poetic inspiration to the resonating dynamic of voice and the lyrical ache of a great individual singer."
