‘When I was growing up all the women in my house were using needles. I’ve always had a fascination with the needle, the magic power of the needle.The needle is used to repair the damage.It’s a claim to forgiveness. It is never aggressive, it’s not a pin‘ (Louise Bourgeois)
Blaue Rosen salutes the International Women’s Day 2019 with a playlist that celebrates the music of female artists in their solo careers. There is a ‘thread’ that connects our favourite songs from these releases and it has to do with the melancholy and darkness that these artists are expressing from the depths of the human psyche. The personal stories of some of these women artists, have strongly influenced and constantly inform their music, sometimes manifesting in otherworldly and dramatic ways. At the same time their sound simultaneously becomes conceptually incomprehensible and very much ‘within our reach’. Enjoy our playlist!
