Info for Old Love and New

Full of poetry and swing and love: The darned seventh album? Not with Ulita Knaus. With "Love In This Time", the singer and songwriter, who is also an accomplished producer, presents an album that is as romantic as it is energetic, a sonorous compass that points to the most diverse questions and topics that are close to her heart. With nine original compositions and her very own version of Stevie Wonder's "Visions", she proves herself once again, despite modernised, electronic sounds, as a strong-voiced self-made woman between jazz and what was called pop in the seventies, before it became a dirty word.

Since Ulita Knaus released her debut album "Cuisa" 20 years ago, she has not only been considered one of the best singers in the country - as evidenced by her Echo Jazz nomination in 2015 for the previous album "The Moon On My Doorstep", also released by Membran, her performances with her own band at jazz baltica or ELBJAZZ or with Bobby McFerrin or Udo Lindenberg. Above all, she is known as a curious, surprising musician, one who is always searching, never standing still, who likes to conquer new worlds of sound, from jazz to soul to folk or electronica (the "Melodique remixes"). In this search, she found an old love again for "Love In This Time", that of Joni Mitchell's album "Hejira", a groundbreaking production with Jaco Pastorius from 1976, among others. "But I also listened to a lot of Stevie Wonder, Prince and Donald Fagen." Thematically, as with her favourite Canadian singer, for all the politics and social criticism, it's all about love. "Love and the loving and respectful treatment of each other seem to have gone out of fashion," says Ulita Knaus. "But I myself am a hippie at heart and I will not give up the belief in the good in people. Right now we have to advertise Love, Peace and Happiness again."
