Info for Ch. 1 Vs. 1

Ein perfektes Pop-Album auf einem berühmten Jazz-Label? Von einer mit bedeutenden Preisen ausgezeichneten Schauspielerin und Musical-Sängerin? Ja, das ist möglich: Cynthia Erivo beweist es mit ihrem Debüt „Ch. 1, Vs. 1“.

Die Hauptdarstellerin der aktuellen Erfolgsserie „Aretha“ (Disney Plus), in der sie Soul-Legende Aretha Franklin verkörpert, der Bühnenversion von „The Color Purple“ und diverser erfolgreicher Hollywoodfilme, schreibt und singt Songs gegen jedes Klischee. Kein Musical-Pathos, keine dick aufgetragenen Film-Emotionen, stattdessen eingängige, hochmoderne Pop-Songs, mit denen sie in ihre Gefühls- und Gedankenwelt blicken lässt.

In ihrer noch jungen Karriere hat sie nicht nur bereits jeweils einen Emmy, Grammy und Tony Award gewonnen, sondern war darüber hinaus auch schon für zwei Oscars nominiert. Da mag es überraschen, dass Cynthia Erivo nun verkündete, noch einmal ganz bei Null anfangen zu wollen.

Aber genau das tut sie mit “Ch. 1, Vs. 1”, einem hochmodernen, eingängigen und dennoch nicht banalen Soul-Pop-Album von Weltklasse.
