Erika Rein
Every festival that is happening NOW should have Erika Rein on the line-up. Songs like incantations, parties like falling into a feverish music video. The Slovakian singer teamed up with producer Jonatan Pastircak (Isama Zing, Pjoni) for her debut album. The LP Kamibe features thirteen tracks in English, Romani and Slovak, combining experimentation with global pop and soul. The digital arena, as dreamt up by James Blake and FKA Twigs, spreads its wings with Erika in a confidently self-conscious mutation. A voice like a velvet gag, a sound from the very talented virus in your comp, the copy of the year. Twin Peaks have always been in Slovakia, too.
