Jeannel - BLUE [Video]

The Berlin-based singer and producer Jeannel is fearless in exploring off-the-beaten-path sonic ideas. For her new song, she returned to the cello, an instrument she’s been playing since an early age. The sparse, restrained track does not do much to keep you captivated: it moves slowly from turn to turn, like the relationship it describes.

Jeannel gives us some background:

“‘Blue’ is an homage to the multitudes of love’s stages, to the blissful and soul crushing faces of love, and a tribute to a love I lost, that really shattered me and brought me to the very edge of my own humanness, my sanity and fragility, but above all showed me my capacity to love. There I find strength in the bitter-sweetness of life, knowing the tremendous courage it takes to love and therefore live fully, and I hope it encourages other people too.”
