Kovacs

"Cheap Smell," the new album from Kovacs, is one of the most outspoken future soul albums of the decade. The Dutch singer with the shaved head sings about the ups and downs of her turbulent life - with the voice of a soul legend. KOVACS' debut "Shades Of Black" was a phenomenon. The album and singles like "My Love" became an international success: It reached number 1 in the Netherlands, number 8 in Germany and entered the charts in 36 countries. It earned KOVACS60 million YouTube views, a modeling contract with Viva Paris and the European Border Breakers Award. Added to that were prominent spots at festivals like Glastonbury, Sziget, Pinkpop, Lowlands, Deichbrand, Traumzeit, Gurten and Rock Werchter, as well as quite a few sold-out shows in Europe, including a support gig for Robbie Williams. Cheap Smell, the second KOVACS opus, pays tribute to their past. Her school band bore this name and was the last project she led in artistic autonomy. Accordingly, the album comes across as soulful and individual. The songs are a series of soul confessions about wild love, abuse of romantic entanglements, hedonism and addictions. Modernist flamenco blues, ruinous cabaret, sultry saxophones, choirs and horns - all this breathes the new repertoire, with whichKOVACS comes on tour in autumn. Anyone who witnesses the true-blue singer's onstage confession is sure to witness a uniqueSoul moment.
