Layla Zoe: Into the Blue - Live in Concert (2024) [Blu-ray]

Into the Blue - концертный альбом импозантной блюз роковой канадской певицы Лейлы Зои (Layla Zoe). Концерт содержит подборку лучших оригинальных песен и каверов с концерта, который был записан вживую 27 марта в Harmonie в Бонне, и будет выпущен в красивом двойном диджипаке на CD и Blu-ray.
С 2006 года певица выпустила ряд альбомов, как студийных, так и концертных, и выступала по всей Северной Америке и большей части Западной Европы. На Зои оказали влияние Фрэнк Заппа, Том Уэйтс, Нил Янг, Мадди Уотерс и особенно Дженис Джоплин. Различные журналисты и комментаторы сравнивали ее вокальный стиль именно с Джоплин. Хотя она родом из Британской Колумбии, Канада, в последние годы она сейчас живёт в различных частях Европы. Вот что говорит Лейла: "Я в восторге от анонса моего нового альбома "Into The Blue – Live In Concert", огромная благодарность музыкантам, которые сделали этот вечер на сцене Harmonie в Бонне, Германия, особенным, Крисси Мэтьюз на гитаре, Феликсу Демелу на барабанах и Джошу Ригалу на басу и бэк-вокале. Огромная благодарность Мартину Майншеферу из Megaphon Tonstudios за запись, сведение и мастеринг, и Морицу Майншеферу за операторскую работу и монтаж"...

In March of 2024 Layla Zoe, also known as Canada’s darling of the Blues set out with her band of “road-warrior” musicians on the Into the Blue tour to hit the stages of Europe as she has for the past 15 years. But with one difference. During the Into the Blue Tour she split the concert into two halves each night, with one set featuring original songs from her in-depth discography (including albums produced by Henrik Frieschlader, Jan Laacks and independently) and one set featuring cover songs from artists she felt had inspired her in her youth to pursue a path in music. With Krissy Matthews on guitar (Hamburg Blues Band), Josh Rigal on bass (Alice Armstrong) and Felix Dehmel on drums (Marcus Deml), she enlisted well-known German recording engineer Martin Meinschaefer (Back to the Spirit of 66, The Lily) to record the audio from a very special night on tour on stage at Harmonie in Bonn, on March 27th, a venue well known for the famous Rockpalast concert series. Also hiring a film team to record the concert in high quality 4K film to capture the energy of her deep connection to the fans from the stage, you can now hear and see this beautiful energetic concert featuring Layla Zoe belting out original rock and blues songs, gently whispered ballads, as well familiar and not so familiar coversongs hand picked from the concert. To be released on CD and Blu-ray in a double digipak titled “Into the Blue - Live in Concert” on September 19th, 2024, don’t miss this very special collection of songs and videos from one of the best in the business at “ripping out hearts and putting them back in again,” Layla Zoe, also known as ‘The Firegirl’ for good reason.

Beautiful double digipak with textured paper and vintage look and feel, thanks to graphic design from Van Rijn Design. The Blu-ray inside is region free and the CD contains 11 songs taken from set one ans set two of the concert. A must have for Layla Zoe fans, new and old!
