Laura Cahen #

12.03.2025, 20 h, Stadtgarten Cologne

Tickets

French singer-songwriter Laura Cahen combines acoustic and electronic sounds in her music to create soulful, self-reflective soundscapes - always carried by her crystal-clear voice. Influences from artists such as Laurie Anderson, Laura Marling and Adrianne Lenker are also clearly audible. In the form of poetic love songs, she deals with questions of femininity, homosexuality and feminism, but also with ecological issues.

In the ten years of her career, Laura Cahen has already played numerous tours in France as well as parts of Europe and America. Her last release featured guest appearances by Juliette Armanet, Jeanne Added and Yael Naim, among others. Three songs from her second album ‘Une Fille’ have been used in major television programmes and films, including ‘You’ (Netflix), ‘Tales of the Walking Dead’ (AMC) and the Oscar-nominated film ‘I Lost My Body’.

Laura Cahen's third studio album ‘De L'Autre Côté’, produced alongside Mike Lindsay (Tunng, LUMP) and Josephine Stephenson (ExRe, Damon Alban, Arctic Monkeys), was released by PIAS in early 2025, with the first single ‘Quitter la ville’ already being listed by major radio stations and streaming platforms. From spring 2025, she will be performing ‘De L'Autre Côté’ together with multi-instrumentalist and composer Josephine Stephenson in a duo formation.

Françoiz Breut #

26.03.2025, 20 h, Stadtgarten Cologne

Tickets

Vif! - alive - is the name of Françoiz Breut's new album. She could not have chosen a more fitting title. Because with ‘Vif!’ she has finally achieved what she has always aspired to: namely to unhinge the chanson, free it from the strict mould of the genre and bring it back to life. The liberties she has taken are palpable throughout the album. Deliberately going beyond the line endings of the verses, she plays with unusual accents and quite naturally breaks the organisation of verse, bridge and chorus.

‘Vif!’ continues what Françoiz Breut started with its predecessor "Flux Flou de la Foule". Once again, life in urban and suburban landscapes is the central theme of their lyrics. The sound, which meanders between organic beats and analogue synth tones, also fits in with this. A sound corset that carries and leaves enough room for the singer's fantastic voice. Despite all the freedom, her vocals remain the central element of her music.
