With 13 Tok Tok Tok album releases under her belt, five German Jazz Awards, the French Grand Prix SACEM and world tours taking her from Sao Paolo to the grand stage of Tel Aviv Opera House – the voice that enchanted us with her renditions of Lou Reed's 'Walk on the wild side' and Paul Simon's '50 ways to leave your lover' is now ready to stun with her solo record.

As 'Queen of Folk Noir' the charismatic singer has reinvented herself staying true to her gift of intimate storytelling.
