Die Kabarettistin Nessi Tausendschön ist unter die Sängerinnen gegangen. Das Ergebnis kann sich wirklich hören lassen
An grossen Zielen und skurrilen Ideen hat es Nessi Tausendschön noch nie gemangelt. "Einmal werde ich berühmt", fantasierte die Kölner Kabarettistin schon auf ihrer CD "Restwärme" und fasste einen festen Vorsatz: "Harald Schmidt ruft an, doch ich habe keine Zeit", lautete der Plan, den sie zu einer Robbie-Williams-Melodie intonierte.

Nessi is German Singer Nessi Tausendschoen with Canadian guitar player
William MacKenzie. This is their first CD together and they haven’t held
back. They have Special guest musicians Harry Manx (slide player) and Kevin
Breit (Norah Jones Band). You can hear the album on the Indie playlist. The
album has been described as a minimalistic blend of jazzy, folky, rootsy
tunes with a European flavor. That doesn’t give away much and neither would
any attempt at a description on my part. What I like about it is it’s very
mellow and serene with an underlying dreamlike mysterious side to it in much
the same way as some old folklore tales have. Nessi has a captivating voice
that has a fantastic range of styles. This the sort of album that grows on
you. I had pinned down a few tracks to play but after several listens that
task wasn’t so easy as I thought. I’m pretty well hooked on this. Fantastic
album folks.

Award winning singer Nessi flaunts her angelic voice on her newest album
which is embedded with acoustic folk/jazz material on “Hide and Speak.” Her
partner in crime, Canadian guitar player William Mackenzie, also does his
part with some solid acoustic playing. Nessi showcases her polished vocal
range on songs “Like Steel” and “Empty” while also depicting her stories
through her lyrics quite well. Mackenzie’s guitar playing shines through on
“Midnight” with his James Taylor-esqe finger style picking. In addition to
these two fine musicians are notable guests Harry Manx and Kevin Breit who
has played with Norah Jones. “Hide and Speak” is a must have for any fan of
Carla Bruni or Norah Jones.
