Nadja Petrick – The night with you

by Silvy Pommerenke

"Nadja Petrick sounds a litlle like Bob Dylan (with whom she seems to have an affinity), or like some reincarnation of Janis Joplin.
Favourites: 'Dance with me' sounds marvellously dark and mysterious. 'Blue Skies' couldn´t be any sadder, a good-bye song for evermore. Last but not least: 'Hallelujah, I'm in love', a wonderful love-crazed Charleston swing number.

AVIVA-Tipp: Nadja Petrick stands for handmade songwriting, a perfect match for jeans and cowboy boots. Timeless, with catchy melodies it seems made for after glow campfire romantic."

"As a singer songwriter Nadja Petrick has made a name for herself. After contributing a song to the 'Sirens of Berlin' sampler she´s known to the country music audience as well.
The CD 'The Night With You' she produced all on her own. It focusses directly on her voice, instrumentaton stands carefully in the back.
Nadja´s telling her own stories, stories about love and life, sometimes with a touch of blues like on 'Ain’t Gonny Drink From That Well No More'. That sounds mighty weird, but it´s meant to do.
Songs like 'Red Roses Are Out Of Fashion' are more related to country music, just played with accoustic guitar and harmonica (...) Handmade music to sit down and listen to and let your mind flow, but still with a certain verve.
Something for those who love the basic singer songwriter style. It´s all about telling stories."

"It´s her voice which puts a spell on me. Not to mention her great guitar playing. No song is like the other on this CD which is quite unusual, but in this case it worked out perfectly. To sum it up: This CD, no this singer is indescribable. You have to experience the music. There is no clear dividing line between country music, folk and blues, so it´s hard for me to pin Nadja Petrick down to just one style. Let´s call it 'Countryfolkrockblues'."
