Without chatter, without written opinions, without labels, without messages. None of us really needs that anyway. So once again we limit ourselves to the essentials and let the women gathered this weekend do what they audibly do best.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Like <strong>Olive Jones<\/strong>, who has been wrapping us around her finger for some time now with her style and voice. Okay, at first she may not necessarily appear as a typical SonicSoul candidate, but anyone who enjoys perfectly crafted songs with a warming atmosphere will hardly be able to ignore her debut <em>\u201cFor Mary.\u201d<\/em> Sounds for grown-ups, who within these singer-songwriter settings will naturally also discover sparks of jazz and soul.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A different tone comes from <strong>Charlotte Colace<\/strong>, a singer with Franco-Cuban roots who lives in Berlin. Her debut EP <em>\u201cNo Way But Through\u201d<\/em> brings us five rough-edged songs (plus a trio interlude) whose fascination is impossible to escape. Direct and reduced to the essential tone. From the dark jazz\/soul basements of a smoky past straight into orbit. A powerful piece of work! Produced by Tremondous Aron.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same can be said of the debut by <strong>Lo Steele<\/strong> from Portland. Together with guitarist <strong>Charlie Hunter<\/strong> and his hybrid guitar, drummer <strong>Marcus Finnie<\/strong>, and carefully selected guests, <em>\u201cOnly a Drop\u201d<\/em> delivers a soul-jazz-blues-gospel revue rooted firmly in several traditions, performed at the highest level. A wonderful voice, precise musicianship, and a rich repertoire of songs. Absolutely timeless!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>A label that, of course, applies especially to <strong>Asha Puthli<\/strong>. From free jazz to Italo-disco, plus films ranging from <strong>James Ivory<\/strong> to <strong>Bruno Corbucci<\/strong>. Recently Asha has stepped back into the spotlight, and now with <em>\u201cPawa!\u201d<\/em> there\u2019s an ultra-light, breezy piece of disco dance recorded together with the <strong>Say She She<\/strong> trio. Once it starts, there\u2019s simply no holding back! &#x1f3b6;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8211;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Wie gut, wenn wir uns zur\u00fccklehnen k\u00f6nnen und die Musik ihre Wirkung tun lassen. Ohne Gefasel, ohne geschriebene Meinung, ohne Stempel, ohne Botschaft. Braucht sowieso niemand von uns. Daher beschr\u00e4nken wir uns ein weiteres Mal auf das Wesentliche und lassen die an diesem Wochenende versammelten Frauen das machen, was sie h\u00f6rbar besonders gut machen. Wie zum Beispiel die <strong>OLIVE JONES<\/strong>, die uns seit einiger Zeit mittels Stil und Stimme um den Finger wickelt. OK, zun\u00e4chst ger\u00e4t sie nicht zwangsl\u00e4ufig als SonicSoul-Kandidatin in den Fokus, aber wer an rundum perfekt ausgestalteten Songs mit w\u00e4rmender Atmosph\u00e4re Gefallen findet, der kommt an ihrem &#8222;For Mary&#8220; Debut kaum vorbei. Sounds f\u00fcr gro\u00dfe Leute, die inmitten der Singer-Songwriter-Kulissen nat\u00fcrlich auch die Jazz- und Soul-Funken finden werden. &#8211; Eine andere Tonart. <strong>CHARLOTTE COLACE<\/strong>, S\u00e4ngerin mit franko-kubanischen Wurzeln und Wohnsitz in Berlin. Ihre Debut EP bringt &#8222;No Way But Through&#8220; bringt uns 5 rauhbautzige Songs (plus einem Zwischenspiel Trio), aus deren Faszination es kein Entrinnen gibt. Direkt und auf den wesentlichen Ton reduziert. Aus dunklen Jazz\/Soul Kellern rauchiger Vorzeit direkt in die Umlaufbahn. Ein starkes St\u00fcck! &#8211; Gilt so auch f\u00fcr das Debut von <strong>LO STEELE<\/strong> aus Portland. Gemeinsam mit dem Gitarristen Charlie Hunter und seiner Hybrid-Guitar, dem Schlagzeuger Marcus Finnie, sowie handverlesenen G\u00e4sten, gibt&#8217;s auf &#8222;Only a Drop&#8220; eine fest in diversen Traditionen verwurzelte Soul-Jazz-Blues-Gospel Revue auf h\u00f6chstem Niveau. Tolle Stimme, pr\u00e4zises Musizieren, umfassendes Lied-Gut. Absoulut zeitlos!  &#8211; Ein Pr\u00e4dikat, das in besonderem Ma\u00dfe nat\u00fcrlich auch f\u00fcr <strong>ASHA PUTHLI<\/strong> gilt. Von FreeJazz bis ItaloDisco. Dazu Filme von James Ivory bis Bruno Corbucci. Unl\u00e4ngst geriet die Asha wieder ins Rampenlicht, und jetzt gibt&#8217;s mit &#8222;Pawa!&#8220; ein ultra-flockiges St\u00fcck Disco-Dance, das gemeinsam mit dem SAY SHE SHE Trio eingespielt wurde. Da gibt&#8217;s nat\u00fcrlich kein Halten mehr!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: No Way But Through\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/2h7iQYlbNpEVAZjNUVuN3n?si=NEoio1A9Tta5wDixXACJ2g&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Only a Drop\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0joGHqwP9PD2x443YwjmFB?si=iMUh2tSYRDaAEL-sKy6x_Q&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: For Mary\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"352\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/album\/0VjLyzT1oN7aQqdkazdPCh?si=VV_Yb47yQ_GHXIcvHzNc8Q&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-rich is-provider-spotify wp-block-embed-spotify wp-embed-aspect-21-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Spotify Embed: Pawa!\" style=\"border-radius: 12px\" width=\"100%\" height=\"152\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen allow=\"autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; fullscreen; picture-in-picture\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/embed\/track\/4b3QAtoxGL3JUzHoEmeBbc?si=2e061e93b5414b16&amp;utm_source=oembed\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How good it is when we can lean back and let the music do its work.
