Silke Hauck

Silke Hauck was signed by the labels 7Jazz and Zounds for her fourth album 'Light And Love', her first best of-compilation, following "Mellow Blue", "Frozen Tears" and "Stay For Good" with her trademark cool delivery of contemplative and emotionally infused compositions.

Silke's song-writing is not about putting forward an individual view of the world, but instead is about creating songs that fit into the world they describe, comfortably slipping into their spaces as though they should always have been there. These are songs that begin with the personal, but reach far into the universal experience we all share. Whether charting the course of our will towards togetherness with others, moments of doubt or pain, aspiration to experience more life than before, or watching another's first steps into independence, Silke's songs capture beautiful epiphanies that we can all relate to. Musically, the album ventures into the familiar made new, often having that haunting quality of somehow having always been there. Rhythmically surprising, harmonically shifting and never predictable; often expressionistic, but never moving into angular abstraction; smooth undulations between jittering moments of uncertainty and musically sparse moments of clarity and anticipation reflect the modern world in which we live like a perfect mirror.
