Lady Linn

LADY LINN

'High' that will be the title of the new, third Lady Linn CD. The artistic alias of Lien De Greef, that songstress from Ghent who so glowingly glitters with her voice.

Following diverse 'danceable' projects, she fully broke through in 2009 with her Magnificent Seven and of course mega-hit 'I Don't Wanna Dance.'

The expectations are also 'High' this time. As her always much-appreciated mix of pop, jazz and soul now appears to be spiced with extra electronica. Songs that have been dreamt up on guitar rather than piano, more direct lyrics too, a first treatment by guitarist Bruno De Groote and now also the justifiably trusted producer Renaud Letang (see: crackers like Jane Birkin, Feist...)

So now the keywords are 'more electronic, disco, dance&synthpop', aside 'melancholy ballad, minimal electronica...'

And the concluding words are: 'how the musical freedom on the new Lady Linn album never loses sight of the essence: going for the best possible song.'

BINTI

The sisters Holail make up Binti: six voices, a guitar, frugal percussion and a transverse flute. The last few years they are on the up and up, resulting in performances at the Ghent Festival and the Dioniss Festival. They also played together with Sioen, Absynthe Minded, Tom Barman and flip Kowlier.

Last November they resided in Egypt, the homeland of their father, Mohammed Holail. They were invited by the Belgian Embassy, to perform on King’s Day. The passage in Egypt has been reported in The Cairo Post.

In March, Binti releases a new EP, including the single ‘My Sun My Moon’ that you can already watch on the internet.
