Музыка и песни Rohey / Rohey

A quartet from Norway, bursting with energy and self-confidence. Unconcerned old-school and at the same time with the snapping finger on the pulse of time: Rohey are a soul-band for the year 2017. Those who hear the nervous synthesizers at the beginning of "Can not get this" are not reminded of Stevie Wonder . At the same time, Rohey is a band that could hardly sound more contemporary. They play an organic R'n'B, which is only so sparkling before its originality, as it was at last heard by the Australians of Hiatus Kaiyote. The four met at the Conservatory in Trondheim. Keyboarder Ivan Blomqvist brings a very urban, retrofuturistic sound, while Kristian B. Jacobsen (bass) and Henrik Lødøen (drums) create a classic soul-radio foundation. And then there is the name of the group: singer Rohey Taalah. With her grandiose voice, she transports all the emotional complexity that a good soul singer expects. Also the pop art of an Adele and the jazz skills of a Zara McFarlane makes her own. Rohey have the ability to shake a sparkling dancefloor tune from the sleeve at any time. If they want it. Their first single "Is This All There Is" starts with an attack from synths and drums, then falls into a relaxed jazz groove with pearly keyboards. The warm melancholy of pieces like "My Dear" and "Now That You Are Free" testify to a remarkable maturity. Reduced to Fender Rhodes and singing, they show the entire songwriting format of the band. During their extensive tours, Rohey have already played at almost every major Scandinavian jazz festival. With the release of "A Million Things" on Jazzland Recordings at the beginning of 2017, they will undoubtedly also cause a sensation in southern regions. "Rohey's presence is clear." Rohey's presence is clear. - Andy Collins, Scandinavian Soul Record Label: Jazzland Recordings Style: Jazz
