"I Talk To The Trees"
from Speak Low - Loewe and Weil In Exile
Listen to "I Talk To The
Trees” MP3
Berliner Masha Qrella continues her solo efforts with her
third release Speak Low - Loewe and Weil In Exile
and creates a laid-back, lo-fi pop gem with the standout
track "I Talk To The Trees". On the album, Masha shares her
surprising and blessedly un-theatrical take on songs by
Kurt Weill and Frederick Loewe. The album was born out of a
2007 project with Berlin's Haus der Kulturen der Welt as
part of its "New York - Berlin" celebrations. The challenge
of the project was to find new and fresh approaches to
Weill and Loewe songs, and Masha unquestionably succeeds in
avoiding the obvious pitfalls and gives the tracks a
welcome twist. Speak Low... is out now on Morr
Music.
