“Turn off your mobile phone”

PJ Harvey, Amy Winehouse, Madonna, Nina Hagen, Aretha Franklin: They were and are all style-defining icons in music history. Countless artists have been influenced by their unique skills and felt motivated to pick up the microphone or an instrument themselves and thus captivate crowds. With “RS Idols” we clear the stage for musicians that we love, appreciate and find incredibly inspiring. From Leslie Clio to Sofia Portanet, ZUSTRA and Finna, we present you with mini live sessions in which they cover their great role models and give legendary pieces by Julie London and Co. their own twist. In the second round, Kat Frankie gifted us a very special version of PJ Harvey’s Send His Love to Me.
