Feature Ring
with Rebekka Salomea
Hymn-like reviews can be read about the German-US singer, songwriter and composer Rebekka Salomea. We clear our throats briefly and tune in: R’n’B from Germany, give it to us, Rebekka! Her agile alto voice raps and sings, soults and jazzt, dares and electr(on)ises. She herself calls her music “contemporary multi-genre”. Sounds a lot, but doesn’t sound exhausting, even if it takes real listening to fully appreciate the depth of her art. Her voice, which is capable of modulation, is always worth a try. Yet every performance is different, because improvising within the songs is as much a part of her concerts as a unique stage presence. And thus feature ring stage free!
