On her 2010 album 'Nobody Knows' Olivia Trummer started singing, but mainly in English. On 'Poesiealbum' now she relies on her own mother tongue: German. In addition to her keyboard music and expression, it is a poetic work as the album title indicates, that is full of colour, backed by equally talented bunch of musicians, all compositions are hers featuring her own vocals and lyrics.
The versatile Olivia expands on her nine recorded albums her broad stylistic spectrum with vocal, better yet, they conceive musical landscapes, that are filled with her voice and thoughts, with serene contemplative life to philosophical reflections. After she had been on the previous Nobody Knows (2010), inspired by her studies at the Manhattan School of Music in New York, first sung on any of their albums, but mainly with English, she now familiar to all Poetry Album their native language. True to the motto that irony is the poetry of humor, their delicate world considerations add about love, nature and all the little things that make life worth living and one Poesiealbum fertilize in the subtle ramifications of their sprawling compositions. ~ www.highresaudio.com.
