Evelinn Trouble: "Higher Love"
How many artists do you know who were hit by 10,000 Volts of electricity and managed to walk away from it? Evelinn Trouble is a vocalist, songwriter, producer, and visual artist who creates work that deals with the knotted and complex nature of the human condition. Critics have dubbed her the bastard child of Thom Yorke and Patti Smith. The description is apt, as her work is equally driven by stylistic innovation as it is by a deep-seated compassion and an inexorable outspokenness. Evelinn was born into a household filled with jazz; her mother is a jazz singer. While pursuing the unbound freedom heard in the music of her childhood, Trouble dove into the local squat-scene. Head-first. It was in this subterranean, non-commercial space where she polished and tested her craft, clearly defining the parameters of her art. She honed her voice and tested its limits in loud, brash industrial rock bands. In under a decade, she recorded and produced 5 albums and three EPs, forging a vast sonic universe filled with dark poetry and breath-taking beauty. Evelinn’s songs are extremely personal and serve a cathartic purpose, especially in how they deal with the hurdles that life has been steadily throwing her way. No two releases in her catalog are alike; each a testament to the need for incessant self-reinvention and a natural aptitude for risk-taking. Evelinn operated out of London, then Berlin, each of these cities leaving a distinct imprint on her work.
“Higher Love” is the first radio single from Evelinn’s forthcoming album „Longing Fever“ (22.10.2021). The Album is a dark and sobering examination of our need to love and be loved.
