Tanja Siebert - Odd Times (2011)

'Odd Times' refers both to the odd-meter tunes on this album and to the fact that Tanja Siebert has recently been through some odd times of her own. She went through an overwhelming mix of feelings that would make anyone think about the 'big questions' of life, perfectly reflected in songs like 'Esperanto' (Vince Mendoza), 'Uzun ince bir yoldayim' (Asik Veysel Satiroglu) and 'How do you keep the music playing?' (Michel Legrand). Tanja Siebert transformed the energy arising from her experiences in a very powerful and most creative way into music of an emotional depth, one simply can not resist. Carried by masterful arrangements and musicians who communicate on a highly sensitive level, her voice takes us to the subtle facets of emotional awareness, and makes her second album a sensual sound experience.
