Wahnschaffe
WAHNSCHAFFE thinks big. The Cologne musician has sounded the alarm against conventional Deutschpop. She doesn't want to be a singer who just smiles pretty and leaves music making to her male colleagues. She is a thoroughbred songwriter who effortlessly conducts her band and sometimes even a complete choir.
With her soulful pop, she joins the ranks of great female artists who are in the process of revolutionizing the still largely male-dominated pop music scene. Whoever listens to her songs rightly thinks of Wallis Bird, of Mine, of Sophie Hunger, yes, even of the great Billy Eilish.
Filigree guitar work and character-strong vocals are complemented by sophisticated synth arrangements and that interesting mixture of beats and organic percussion that expands the horizon of contemporary pop. Their lyrics are personal and honest without being pretentious, strong in character and brave without being pompous. Whether as a solo artist or as the front woman of her highly accomplished live band, WAHNSCHAFFE has stepped up to finally give the listeners something to believe in again with her complex, well thought-out sound architectures.
