Janou

First there is a beat that slowly creeps through your limbs. Shy yet powerful, elegant but casual.
It fills up the whole room. And then this voice “ when you fell from the sky out of nowhere“ she sings. Direct, clear and still fragile, a Melody that covers you like a warm blanket. A coy synthesizer mixes with in. If you could transfer daydreams into music it would sound like “Sweet Love“ from Janou.


It is the first ever single of the Duo from Bochum and gives a peak into their upcoming EP, “what we found“ which is scheduled for the end of 2020. It includes four songs, so mellow and modern it is hard to believe you are listening to a debut EP. Minimalistic beats that flirt with heartbreaking electric spheres and such a voluminous and soulful voice of the singer Janou.


Immediately you are reminded of the big acts of the electric pop scene: London Grammar, Rhye, Lykke Li. Artists Janos can already compete with, even without sounding anyhow comparable with something familiar, something we might have heard before.
No, Janou takes your hand and safely guides you into the depths of their secret world. Intimate and raw lyrics, what once was big becomes small. Songs that sound like a holiday in a wooden cabin on Mars, with the vastness of the universe right on the edge of your porch.
