Songsmith
Shizzoe, Hank
(2014/Blue Rose) 12 tracks.
Holds Shizzoe 13th album, what the title promises: Twelve finely crafted songs - arranged and produced by Stephan Eicher - where Shizzoe climbs as a singer, musician and author new heights. In for a surprise.
After the joint work on Eicher's album "Envolée" and the following tour (90 concerts in France, Belgium and Switzerland 2012/2013) to Shizzoe and Eicher end of 2013 moved back to the studio. Also on board was the Berne drummer and DJ Simon Baumann. As guests enter the gifted multi-instrumentalist Reyn Ouwehand Dutch and the Irish singer Shirley Grimes in appearance.
The songs cover a variety of topics. From the hysteria surrounding financial crises ("Like It's 1929"), the hype surrounding new electronics ("iTune"), the failure of the Almighty ("He Is Not"), about the half-life of relationships ("Planned Obsolescence") up to a Boogie-Ode to a small mountain country ("Where I Come From") shines "Songsmith" with skillful, mature and refined craft that has been found in the production of Stephan Eicher his musical home. Whether reveling Orchestra, a gnarled synthpop, grandiose ballads, guitar playing in a class or pop of the 1930s (Charles Trenet's "Je Chante" in English translation and lunatic Arrangement): The album is varied without effort, full of surprises. Producer Eicher Shizzoe challenged as a singer and the voice placed in the center. On "Songsmith" means any sound where it belongs.
