Weve never been so creative before! says frontwoman Sonia Heller, bubbling with energy and élan, her eyes positively glowing. Its quite clear that the latest work from the Core22 studio has simply got to be something special. KILLER LOVE ANGEL: Each of these powerful words conceals personal stories: impressions, experiences, observations, musings and feelings that Sonia Heller fuses with unambiguous texts and catchy harmonies. This album is the album of experience, says the artiste from French-speaking Switzerland, not mincing words about her creation.When Core22 is on the cover, the expectations are high. And rightly so. KILLER LOVE ANGEL delivers both the directness and the seductive harmonies weve come to expect from this band. Nonetheless, the group behind Sonia Heller has matured. This major step forward in terms of the bands development owes something to a serious accident Sonia suffered. I had time to think. No time pressure. I was somehow free and tremendously creative! I came up with all kinds of things during that time, the singer says.The album title comes closest to expressing Sonia Hellers emotional world: KILLER LOVE ANGEL features 11 songs that dont merely scratch the surface. Impressively, Sonia succeeds in distilling life in all its complexity and with all its myriad facets down to its essence. Not with frustration or helplessness, but in a nuanced manner and with the imperturbable and keenly alert view of a woman who has experienced much in life. The vocalist says shes become more forgiving. Whereas the language of her heart used to be expressed almost exclusively in terms of protest, today its at most selectively critical. Her singing about difficult interpersonal relationships is also more relaxed on the new release and perhaps therefore more poignant, too. Life isnt black and white. The shades in between are what my songs are about, says Sonia with a genuine smile.International sounds from Switzerland. Borders dont exist in the mind of Core22s frontwoman. The native of western Switzerland long ago conquered places far afield from her birthplace. She feels at home anywhere her musical statements are welcome. And shes got some strong arguments. Sonia is not only responsible for the lyrics and the music; she also produced the album herself. KILLER LOVE ANGEL is Core22s most authentic album to date. It surpasses all expectations. Guaranteed.
