Inspired by musical traditions from all over the planet, Bea Box’s stylistic vocabulary is as diverse as human culture – whether West or East, North or South. The singer, songwriter, percussionist, and producer holds all the strings in her own hands when it comes to her songs and creates sound paintings of transcendent beauty that elude any categorisation. Her debut album, “Debut” (2016) – with its tongue-in-cheek title – combines sophisticated breakbeats with elements of trip hop and art pop to create an idiosyncratic cocktail that still fascinates listeners on many levels today. In an ideal world, she would have received praise from European feature pages for her work. Be that as it may, her follow-up – “Lotus” (2022) – demonstrated in the midst of the pandemic how forward-thinking pop music can sound today: adventurous and vital, but never overloaded or aimless. The gifted multi-talent from Hamburg can rightly count herself among the truly exceptional artists in the country and has proven once again with this year’s remix of her song “Lotus” that she is already working on ideas for her next project.
