June Cocó

In the organizer's words:

The very special superpower of this extremely charismatic artist is definitely to charge people with her music. With songs that are infused with subtle euphoria. She blends her often piano-based compositions with band sounds and electronica, with echoes, punctual beats and erratic ideas to create multi-layered, pulsating pop. Dreamlike drifting meets plenty of uptempo bliss. A complex and at the same time highly catchy creation that is carried by June Cocó's voice: stubborn and full of empathy, darkly close and brightly soaring. Live at the piano, she creates her very own universe of sound, her audience is spellbound.

Comparisons can be found in the great avant-garde of pop. Be it with the grandiose innovator Kate Bush or the joyful style mixtures of Florence Welch. June Cocó has been a seeker since she fell in love with playing the piano as a child. She studied dance, acting, singing and music. Towards the impressive artistic personality she is today. Sophisticated and dreamy, witty and exciting. The fact that she also wowed stars such as Udo Lindenberg and George Clooney as a singing hotel pianist in Leipzig - great.

But June Cocó does not live for quick fame, but for a lasting connection with her audience. June Cocó's concerts are simply magnificent transformations. The way she creates an enormously touching intimacy with just a few chords on the piano. And how she then transforms her multi-faceted voice into orchestral sound and emotion with a loop station and electronic effects. And now the next stop is her new album "Infinity Mode". A futuristic gospel anthem ("Superpower"), finely interwoven with sonic details and multi-faceted choirs that lift the heart with hope, meets the balladic and beguilingly bombastic "Hovering Clouds". A journey from earthly hustle and bustle to the infinity of the universe. It is about gaining a different perspective and constantly asking questions. For example: What are these waving cats actually all about? In the playful "Manekineko", June Cocó sings with a wink about all the projections we put into such a talisman. Did someone shoutDancefloor? Yes please! And at the same time, this danceable number is also an ode to her personal waving cat that accompanies June Cocó on stage. And who has already seen many bars, clubs, pianos, stages, people and conditions.

But what motivates us to actually get going? June Cocó talks about this special moment, this decisive push in the wonderfully inspiring "The Spark". "Motivated by the spark of a person, the right word at the right moment, a kind look or a key experience, we dare to realize our dreams again. Breaking free from a toxic relationship ("Solid Ground"), falling in love again ("Crazy") and putting the inner drama queen to rest ("Kill Her") - June Cocó knows that the path to the blissfully swaying "Summer Rhapsody" is a winding one. And that we will meet our demons along the way, for better or worse. But then there are those magical events waiting at the end, as the musician makes them resonate epically in "Common Sense": When June Cocó visited Tenerife for the first time in 2022 to learn to surf, she climbed into the sea at night from a fishing tower. "I had heard that there was glowing plankton in the water. And when I opened my eyes under my diving goggles for the first time, everything around me started to glow. Like a universe of its own underwater." "Infinity Mode - activate" are the first words on the album.

And the fact that June Cocó has activated this very special dynamic not only runs through all her new songs. The development of the record is also fueled by this drive: "Making music and writing songs gives me a feeling of infinity. We are part of a big whole, with all the facets and stories that we experience. "June Cocó has brought this all-encompassing spirit into her entire production. And the poetic poles from singer-songwriter minimalism to the Tarantino sound are always kept in balance by the presence of pop. By this oversized and infinite superpower of music.
