In an age saturated with soundalikes and retro throwbacks, the truly unique and unconventional can be hard to come by. Storming the 2011 scene with her self-titled debut album, Berlin-based Barbara Panther seems to embody these latter characteristics - and then some. The singer takes risks, blending musical influences and crosses boundaries of musical style innovatively and effortlessly, and the result is a journey through vibrant soundscapes, frenetic arrangements interspersed with moments of beautiful melancholy, and the creative explosion of elements of her past, the present and the future.
Rwandan-born Panther grew up in Brussels, Belgium, before making her home in Berlin five years ago. Panther's debut album was produced by no other than Matthew Herbert, renowned house music maestro, also known as Radio Boy and Doctor Rockit. Together, Panther and Herbert create compelling sonic landscapes, designed to generate vivid images in the listener's mind. Panther's energetic and eclectic vocals blend elements of pop, rap and soul music, also incorporating an opera flavour on the track "Rollercoaster". The latter song is full of skilfully arranged stylistic contrasts, combining a big band with playful synth and operatic vocals. Considering her offbeat style and the air of mystery surrounding Panther, it comes as no surprise that she has already been compared to the likes of Grace Jones and Bjork.
