Ronnie Scott's All band and Guest: Gabrielle

That Gabrielle dismisses her five years out of the limelight with a shrug and a smile won’t surprise her fans. The self-confessed shy singer may have sold more than 10 million records, but she was never one to work to pop’s regular treadmill schedule.
 
“I was notorious for taking three years between albums,” laughs Gabrielle. “I love making music, but not 365 days of the year. I’m probably just lazy, but I can’t force myself to write songs. I have to long to be back in the studio and feel good vibes when I’m recording.”
 
Working at her own pace and refusing to tailor her music to trends has always paid off for the Londoner who topped the charts with her debut single, Dreams, two decades ago, had ten Top 10 hits, won two Brit Awards and began her last sabbatical shortly after being awarded an Ivor Novello for Outstanding Song Collection in 2008.






Max Herre & Freunde

MTV Unplugged Kahedi Radio Show: Mit diesem Gesamtkunstwerk hat Max Herre nicht einfach nur sein viertes, gefeiertes Album aufgenommen. Die Geschichte dieses Abends, einer Aufnahme in der Berliner Nalepastrasse, dem DDR-Funkhaus, beginnt mit den musikalischen Anfängen eines Künstlers, der die deutsche Musiklandschaft seit 25 Jahren bereichert und formt. „Ich habe mich immer nur als Livemusiker verstanden. Das ist, wo Musik für mich passiert“, sagt Max Herre, der seinen Weg zunächst über den Rap nahm. Sein künstlerisches Universum aber ist viel umfassender. Durch Reduktion, das Schlichte und Atmosphärische erstrahlt es in voller Schönheit.

Jack Savoretti

Four years ago, Jack Savoretti quit making music. He’d had enough – of scratching a living as an independent artist, of business bust-ups, of being touted as a soon-to-be star. He’d spent two years (and all of his savings) in legal dispute with a former manager and seen the release of his second album so botched it barely came out. He was 26 and recently married, with a baby on the way.

Honesty is the fabric of all our interpersonal relationships. It’s the levelling light that removes us from concealment and obscurity. For Half Moon Run, it’s been crucial to every step they’ve taken together. They never laboured under the notion that they would be successful musicians in a touring band. Nevertheless, when they formed in Montreal in 2009, multi-instrumentalists Devon Portielje, Conner Molander and Dylan Phillips abandoned every backup plan because they weren’t prepared to sacrifice their uncommon chemistry. Instinct and faith led them to create their astonishingly accomplished debut album Dark Eyes, released in 2012 (2013 in the UK).

Its follow-up, Sun Leads Me On, is the process of coming into being in the quest for beauty and honesty. For the three founding members—and for fellow multi-instrumentalist Isaac Symonds, who joined the band during the early touring for Dark Eyes—it materialised after months of creative frustration. After two years of relentless gigging, they got back to Montreal in late 2014 only to realise they were “oversaturated with each other and the band,” says Isaac. It was only through brute force and determination that they ultimately overcame the mental challenge of effectively starting over.
