Ankhor

Description

Its the utmost honor for Sonar Kollektiv to be in the position to introduce Ankhor, the brand new album by Liz Aku. Having recorded all sorts of music with different outfits as well as solo projects over the last fifteen years the Belgian soul singer and highly gifted songwriter definitely earned her stripes and is anything but a newcomer to this game. She seems to have found her own, distinctive voice, after travelling to New Zealand and a far-reaching encounter with Mara TK from Electric Wire Hustle.

With Ankhor (a combination of the Egyptian symbol for eternal life Ankh and anchor) Aku accomplished a masterpiece of Nu Soul, Jazz and Pop, which will make her join the upper league of the players on the scene. For this cause, several allies and befriended producers have helped her out. With Mara TK leading the way obviously, who co-produced three out of the albums twelve songs. On Breathing Underwater and the sublime, for the whole album groove defining opening song The Drum Major Instinct the native New Zealander duets with Aku.
