"FURIE" is music. Joy. Present and avant-garde. With her second studio album "FURIE" in Mai 2025, Alicia Edelweiss fulfills the promise made on her debut album released six years earlier: to add something genuinely new and honestly interesting to the pop landscape. "FURIE" contains 8 songs of a length that has become very rare today. They have enough space and time to unfold their own little panoramas - the artist herself compares them to short films whose plot twists and plot twists you have to pay attention to. It was not her decision to make the songs so long, she says, but rather not to shorten them. The artist uses the word integrity to describe their length and consistency. What a wonderful claim to her own music. That"s why "FURIE" is also an album in the almost old-fashioned, in the strictest sense of the word: what you really come across very rarely these days and what makes it a real exception is that we are actually faced with songs of equal status and equal quality. These songs are never predictable, never just written - they are invented, conceived and composed. Sometimes fought for. Of course, you wouldn"t know it from listening to them. The musician has taken over the heavy lifting - we get the suspended state. This is created primarily through sound, tone and melody, which function as multi-layered, complex mood carriers. The instrumentation on "FURIE" is unusually rich - with guitar, drums, piano, accordion, above all strings, animal voices, noises, synthesizers, bells, trumpets... for one song, her own vocals were recorded under water. It has become a highly decorated album. It is vulnerability and maximalism; as a result, more complex than the previous debut. FURIE strives for excellence. Especially where the beauty lies in the risk of not being perfect, but being right.
