The fourteen songs on this marvelous album keep every promise her successful guest-spots with stars like Schiller, Nicola Conte or Till Brönner have ever made. Her new and extremely original material ranges from the depths of a jazzy ballad like “Yellow Mondays” to the roof-raising funk-rock of “Vanilla”, via the break-beat-Bossa “In Between”, the instant dance-classic “What Love Would Do” or the quietly intense Scorpio-Soul of “Come Over” or “Take Me”. In order to turn this album into a true and cohesive entity, a heartfelt piece of art, Kim called on the production-dream-team of Roberto di Gioia, the keyboard-virtuoso who has been spreading his genius via Passport, The Notwist, Wolfgang Haffner, Wigald Boning, Max Herre, and his very own Marsmobil, of course, and Christian Prommer of “Fauna Flash” and the “Trüby Trio”, whose “Drum Lessons” famously turned House-hits into Jazz-jams. Hand in hand (and sometimes tit for tat), this holy trinity led by a true goddess of voice and song, has produced an album of essential “Electric Soul”, ripe with simple emotion and beautiful devotion, as fun and fearless as it is complex and contagious. “A Closer Look”, without a doubt.
