Singer songwriter Zeebee most recently shone as "chief chanteuse" on the
influential and commercially successful album "Ballroom Stories" by Viennese
producer Klaus Waldeck. With "Be My Sailor" she now releases her third solo
album. Over the last two years, Zeebee has consistently grown both as a singer
and a songwriter. While her first two albums - "Chemistry" and "Priority" - were
highly experimental and primarily enthused an expert audience (FM4 Album of the
Week, nominated for the Amadeus Award), her new work radiates an almost eerie
calm, both powerful and mature. With her remarkably multifaceted vocals, Zeebee
- already billed by critics as Billy Holiday 2.0 - skillfully sails the musical
waves of Waldeck's perfectly sculpted Ocean of Sound. Text and music glide along
gently, and yet, something irritates, disturbs. Too late the audience notices
that something has been brewing beneath the surface all along. Zeebee is calling
out to us. But her cry is as seductive and gentle as the ancient song of the
sirens. It gets under your skin. Love, pain, jealousy, pornography, war, change
and loss of identity - Zeebee shows us how vulnerable she is. And this precisely
is her strength. Not to worry: we will not sink into a sea of despondency.
Courtesy not least of the finishing touches producer Waldeck has applied to the
musical narrative, catchy tunes like "Jealous" and "We Live In Peace" will leave
an indelible imprint on the musical memory of the listener. Dubby arrangements
shake hands with a whiff of Twin Peaks. And by the end of the album there is
even a hint of The Blues. With "Be My Sailor", you can safely leave your coffee
to go in its paper cup - or else you might choke on this powerful piece of
music. äBe My Sailorô written and performed by: zeebee, Klaus Waldeck, Matthieu
