Astrid North
The German singer Astrid North recorded five albums as bandleader of Cultured Pearls. Now she is performing solo: Astrid North plays "indeed soul" but has told the Süddeutsche that her music deals predominantly with emotions and when she sings on stage, her soul becomes visible. Soul as a musical genre is part of a connection. Her first solo single "Dither" is about the elementary mixture of closeness and distance. And it's all wrapped up in a package of Pop.
