-- tresspass.chlandbote cd review
Witz und charme Es scheint nichts zu geben, was Elia- ne Amherd nicht kann. Die Sängerin und Gitarristin legt auf ihrem Debüt- Album elf witzige und stilistisch ab- wechslungsreiche Eigenkompositio- nen vor. Grundlage ist der Club-Jazz, was sich auch in der Besetzung der Band spiegelt. Dazu gesellen sich Ele- mente aus Pop, Soul und südamerika- nischer Musik, vorgetragen mit einer stupenden Leichtigkeit. Mit ihrem ge- schmeidigen Charme macht die Wal- liserin, die vor zehn Jahren nach New York ausgewandert ist, die Tatsache mehr als wett, dass sie nicht über eine besonders tragfähige Stimme verfügt. Thematisch spielt Amherd mit traditionellen Genres und eignet sie sich auf eine überzeugende Weise an, sodass sie wie aus dem eigenen Leben gegriffen daherkommen.
