Straßenkötersoul
Sound system
Whether Fleur Earth actually is the German Erykah Badu, as Spiegel Online claims, or simply a class of her own, as we would argue – her musical and lyrical talent remains outstanding. Together with beatsmith Twit One (of Testiculo Y Uno / Fleur Earth Experiment fame) she creates her very own „Soul Des Cabots“ („Soul of the stray city dog“): Soul music with German vocals that goes back to its raw essence while never feeling the least redundant. „Minnie Riperton meets Madlib“ says the label MPM and might thereby come pretty darn close to the core of the matter. Her unique songwriting combines the immediacy of nowadays Rap and the playfulness of the great jazz divas with the lyrical depth of the European poetry tradition. Their LP’s „Skurreal“ and „Es Entstehen Wesen“, as well as the Fleur Earth Experiment album „Soul Des Cabot“, might give a good impresson of what Fleur is all about. But for the full Fleur Earth experience one has got to see her perform live on stage – whether as Fleur Earth Soundsystem or with her band Fleur Earth Experiment (FEX).
