“There’s World Outside of Mine / I Can See It Through My Eyes”: This line from the song “Runner” works like a guide to Sophia Kennedy and her music. There is a world out there and I also see it, but reserve it to build my own world. The Berlin-based Berliner born in Baltimore is not an Artsy Fartsy avant-garde, on the contrary, Kennedy’s songs are accessible and catchy.
At the same time, in every piece of fine freaky peculiarities that make the musician and singer make an exception: the piano-chanson “Feed Me” is about the little bit too much, the last puster that makes the balloon burst-a balloon that you flit through the room is a pointed scream in between.
The narrow line between too density-dran and the zu-wide path is also the overarching theme of the Squeeze Me album, which has again been created in congenial collaboration with Mense Reents. The hissing synthate stations of “Drive the Lorry” are reminiscent of Flash and the Pan and Grace Jones, of the sophisticated glamorous side of the eighties, which is contrasted by bizarre sound splinters. “Hot Match” is characterized by the relevant and irresistible dance floor-Sog, in the hit “Rodeo” there are unanswered Classic yacht pop with spooky background choirs-the world out there may exist, but you would rather see it through the eyes of Sophia Kennedy.
