In the artist's words:

Everyone knows that electronic pop can be more than just the sum of its parts,
who has ever fallen in love with a disco ball hit. But the extent to which this principle can be brought to mastery
is what Cologne-based Jenny Thiele and
her new album "Platz" are all about.

Jenny Thiele ... Basics
Cologne lies outside her window. Cologne-Mülheim, to be precise. Jenny Thiele loves it
here, a creative, lively neighborhood that is never stressful. Cologne at its best.
Born in Dresden, grew up in the tranquil, mousy Lower Rhine region, studied in the Benelux countries
the musician is one thing above all: a natural born artist.
Where others may end up on stage by chance or entanglement, there was never any doubt for
Jenny Thiele there was never any doubt, never the other option. And where others lose focus between art, life and
and self-promotion, Jenny Thiele still has a few tentacles left,
to get another project off the ground.
Jenny Thiele has a crush on pooling ideas and resources - getting inspired, trying things out.
inspire each other, try things out. Together with Irene Novoa, she maintains the duo AnnaOtta - on their

exactly, the charismatic act with the guy in the stole, slippers and pyjamas. The last

In 2022, she finally released her own album "Killing Time" - with English-language lyrics.
The enthusiastic response that her own songwriting is able to trigger in the outside world feels great.
great. Because although she has always written music herself, "Killing Time" opens up completely new
spaces. The reduced sound makes the emotional singer-songwriter pieces seem both pointed and gentle.
pointed and gentle in equal measure. Now it can really get going. And so this record also functions as
a kind of floodgate. From this point, Jenny Thiele can now separate her own legacy from all the
bustling before. Slogan: make space. Because this is more necessary than ever. And for an
album that will be released in 2025. The first really big arrival after all the new beginnings,
is called: "Space". Adrenaline!
