Ornette

If someone had told Ornette that one day she would release an album as a singer, she would not have believed it. Up until now she had been – as a brilliant pianist – the one who composed, arranged and accompanied other (Alain Bashung, Peter Von Poehl...) Today, with the treasure chest of cosy and sophisticated pop that is her first album “Crazy”, she can finally shine.

Challenge met. “Crazy” is a stellar and ethereal record that is all about balance: choruses that work their way into the brain and won’t let go, a groove that gets hips moving and chiselled melodies that go straight to the heart, as first single “Crazy” superbly exemplifies.

An album on a par with offerings by Feist, Kate Nash or The Bird and The Bee, ranking among the best illustrations of a modern, feminine and stylish kind of pop music.
