pintomusica

at last a new solo album by the queen of fragile and poetic electro-pop - now introducing the piano. it's three years since barbara morgenstern’s acclaimed album nichts muss and as the grass is always greener goes to show, she has come a long way. her goethe institut sponsored world tour and many recent collaborations with, among others, robert lippok and bill wells have cleary been an inspiration for this album. morgenstern’s music has gained a bold maturity. her unmistakeable voice and warm piano style make for an unique sound. this album is the perfection of minimal elegance. the album was produced by herself and mixed together with bernd jestram from tarwater.

Barbara Morgenstern 暌違三年之久的個人新專輯「The Grass is Always Greener」，以全球化年代通訊科技與國外旅遊等個人體驗為主題，從1996年至今，「Fjorden」(2000)、「Nichts Muss」(2003)等專輯已是Monika Enterprise 廠電子民謠女聲的代表，她與Stefan Betke(aka Pole) 、Ellen Allien、Tarwater、 Schlammpeitziger等德國電子/後搖滾音樂圈往來密切， 去年與To Rococo Rot的Robert Lippok合作的專輯「Tesri」也獲得好評， 我認為Barbara Morgenstern的音樂有三個特色: 1.揮灑自如的唱腔、2.溫暖令人難忘的鋼琴演奏、3.纖細而靈動的電子音色。幾年下來，她已將這些特色逐步發展成熟。by galeer  (繼續閱讀)
