Music
Jenny Thiele's debut album "Haus" was released in 2012 by Hey! Blau Records. The sound and instrumentation of the first album are as colorful as the accompanying CD cover, because fragile piano ballads meet detailed arrangements by the string quartet Badz and also withstand the force of the samba percussion by Buyakano. E-bass, guitars and drums weave into the pop collage and bring a rock-funky indie sound to the album. With frank lyrics and an angelic voice that can quickly turn into a devil, Jenny's style is also reminiscent of artists such as Nina Hagen, Björk or Kate Bush.
