Gentlemen, the only way to achieve the impossible, is to believe it's possible. "Where Charles Kingsleigh is right, he is right. For the wonderland there was no time. For this, Alice Francis made the impossible possible in the studio and are now back with their new album "Electric Shock". During her almost three-year world tour, the trio performed in ao. Canada, Russia, and Israel, along with Alicia Keys, Erykah Badu, and Public Enemy, singer Miss Francis, producer Goldielocks and One-Man-Choir Sir Chul Min Yoo in hotel rooms, elegant Frequent flyer lounges Or sometimes cut off from the rest of the world in a lonely mountain hut at their new Langspieler t?ftelt. After three more months of detail-loving studio fine-tuning, sometimes in the legendary Sterling Soundmaster studio in New York, "Electric Shock" is now ready. And if something shocked here, then probably the circumstance, how inconceivably catchy music in the ear can go, which cleaves itself from all common genre definitions so skilfully. Which in turn is not a small part of the phenomenal song of Miss Francis. For the first four songs of the new album ("Too Damn Hot", "Getting Cross", "Beatptized" and "Beautiful Pain"), all who are not Alice Francis need four front women. Whether as a roaring 20ies vamp, a soothing melange from Kelis and Missy Elliott or as an expert for soft sounds - the frontwoman with the Tanzanian-Romanian roots surprised again and again. And one thing is just as unmistakable: with their second album, the three go a lot further, as the stamp Electro-Swing (which was already fitting for the debut "St. James Ballroom"). And in this way, a good deal closer to the unachievable ideal of the "own sound". On "Electric Shock" the mixture of remote mechanical and contemporary-digital sound sources z (s) succeeds more than ever. However, the expansion of the sound zone goes far beyond the technology used. From their journeys, the globally active music diplomats have brought a lot of exotic and unusual instruments. These also had the effect of altering the range of musical influences: "Electric Shock" is an element of blues, swing, pop, house, raga, and even classical music. The fact that her passion for the culture of the 1920s and 30s also resonates on "Electric Shock" is still no wonder. However, Alice Francis have no interest whatsoever in a resurrection of past times. They only make sure that what is still swinging does not simply fall into oblivion. Thanks to Alice Francis, time travels are not a thing of impossibility anymore ...
