I really enjoy listening to Patricia Kraus, she is unorthodox and tolerant with her music. She has a very solid foundation which has given her plenty of resources to achieve any of her professional goals, something very similar such as liberty. Her recently works “Recollection” leaves the forefront of WaxBeat and she is taken a new path towards the gospel music. Her vocal technique is prodigious and it demonstrated in all her songs, example her version of “I’d rather go blind” by Etta James. Her extraordinary singing is sort of a Spanish Aretha Franklin - Radio Nacional de España // Jose Miguel López

She is one of the big names, big in the Spanish music. Versatile and diverse, she is the daughter of the admirable Alfredo Kraus, the name also demands high expectations. Considered a queen of jazz, blues and rock among other musical formulas, let’s not forget her classical and opera background. Patricia Kraus once again moves us with her latest work “Retrocollection”, currently on a successful tour throughout Spain and will include a stop this Friday at 19:30 at the FNAC record store in Callao in Madrid, which might be of your interest to see!
Patricia Kraus, this innovating artist, delights us with her new album called “Retrocollection”. This album is carefully created just like all her previous ten albums, “Retrocollection” another album done with perfection in production and sound in each and every one of the eleven songs in it, nine of these being world recognized classics and two originals from the artist.
