Review: "The year was ’91, and the Norwegian music magazine BEAT was still bloody good. Later the magazine got much weaker in both creativity and quality, before it was laid down for good. But that’s another story. Well, Nadja Petrick was given a good review in the magazine, which I read and became pretty curious about it. But soon I forgot the whole thing……….
Months later, I was raiding the bargain bins in some music shops in my area and stumbled across the cd of Nadja Petrick at a ridiculously low price. I bought it of course and since that day I’ve played it nearly to pieces ! And I’ve introduced it to friends who got the same experience as me.
Judging by her heavy accent when she sings, and her name, Nadja Petrick is probably of Eastern Europe origin. I usually respond a bit negative to accents in when it comes to the English language. And believe me, when you’re Norwegian as me, you’ve heard a lot of it !
But something’s different with Nadja’s vocal chords and singing style. It got loads of charm, nearly naive sounding at times and has got this wonderful husky expression. Besides writing all the lyrics and music, she plays guitar as well. Joey Balin, the producer is responsible for the clever arrangements.
"You Are The Only One” is a catchy mid-tempo tune with clever keyboard-work from Simon Clarke and some great soul filled backing vocals from a quintet behind Nadja. A marked, steady, rhythm pushed forward by drummer Manny Elias is the core of the great "Borderline” with some distant screaming guitar, probably delivered by David Rhodes. It’s his kind of style. The title track "April Fool”, is a beautiful song, pretty quiet and again with more guitar from David Rhodes, excellent keyboard-work and Pino Palladino’s warm bass. Makes me think of David Bowie, for some reason. A really outstanding song ! "Don’t Beg Me No More” has this easy acoustic riff, some light drumming and with no other than Danny Thompson on contra bass. A lovely song which makes me think of Lou Reed, it could easily have fitted in on his great "Transformer” album” !! Things get more funky on "Jumping So High”, one of the tracks I don’t care that much about, but the follower "Darlin’” is just great ! It’s catchy as hell with the earlier mentioned backing vocalist doing a great job, lifts the track with their gospel-choir style and makes it hard to sit still. "Ain’t No Road” is more melancholy with it’s acoustic expression, strengthen by a distant cello and accordion in the background. Goodie ! On "When The Wave Rolls In” the power increases considerably and is a catchy sing-along track. "Turn Out The Light” is a beautiful ballad with some nice piano and slide guitar and the overall sound is pretty grandiose. Nice album closer !
The voice of Nadja Petrick is probably not everybody’s cup of tea, with it’s accent and rather special expression, but I just love this album, I can tell you that ! It’s an album full of good pop songs done with feeling and respect from a bunch of good musicians."

Sirens of Berlin

Sirens of Berlin
17 female singer/songwriters from Berlin, 2005.
Price: 16,99 €.
"In February 2004 we celebrated the 7th anniversary of our venue “Bluebird Café Berlin”. We organized two evenings with several female artists and named it “Women in concert”. The high quality of the performances and the very big interest of the audience made us think, that we should do more about that. We wanted to do a project in which all these great energies are bundled up and all these great artists get the chance to be presented to an even bigger audience. After the idea was born within a few days we had already seventeen acts to put on the CD although there are plenty more but we had to make a choice otherwise the CD would be too long. All these singer/songwriter come from various places of the world and are now making a living in Berlin. They write their songs about love and life, sorrow and grief but also about hopes and dreams and one thing is for sure – it´s all great handmade acoustic music.
So take an hour off and enjoy the music of the Sirens of Berlin.” Maik and Doreen Wolter
