The Austrian Heartbearts Showcase, a fixture of the first day of the Reeperbahn Festival, will once again feature four fresh acts from Austria this year:

First of all oh alien. They released their debut album What We Grow in March, and it's a real insider tip. They pack dramatic songwriting into 3-minute pop songs and are now bringing their dreamy, melancholic pop to Hamburg.

Bon Jour have been described as one of the "most exciting music projects in Austria" (FM4). With their avant-garde approach and innovative use of AI, they made it to number 1 in the Radio FM4 charts.

On her debut album "irgendetwas das du liebst", Innsbruck rapper Spilif combines poetic verses with the jazzy sounds of her live band.

And the fourth in the group is Edna Million. The essence of songwriting is to say the most with the least. And that's exactly what Edna Million proves to be a true master of on her debut album "The Pool".
