Pat Appleton

For the first time Pat Appleton (singer of famous lounge-jazz band DE-PHAZZ) will sing and perform in German and presents herself as a skilful, versatile artist finding herself »Mittendrin« or »right in the middle«. She explores her German side with witty poetry and lyrical appeal as she candidly expresses her feelings. Never short of irony, she soulfully compliments the numerous facets of her voice with poignant punch lines and amusing food for thought.

The album’s vintage sound of a four-piece live band clearly differs from the smooth hypnotic sound of Pat Appleton’s earlier years. The gritty clarity of the music in combination with her voice pleasantly distinguish catchy tunes such as »Männer ohne Pferd« or »Weissmehl« from the usual miscellany of German soul-pop. Pat and her band rock and groove enticingly thus making »Mittendrin« an exquisite listening pleasure.

Pat Appleton is supported by Initiative Musik
