„Schiefsinn“ – Release 9.10.2026 (Jazzsick Records)

Poetic imagery, dark forebodings, and touching lyrics: With her album *Schiefsinn*, Cologne-based singer and composer Lisa Kühnemann presents a collection of personal songs that blend jazz and pop, looking inward as much as outward.

Kühnemann’s voice moves somewhere between the lightness of Minnie Riperton and the narrative intimacy of Joni Mitchell. She sings with clarity and presence, captivating listeners with effortless high notes whose delicacy feels powerful at the same time. While she savors the suppleness of her voice, her expression remains consistently direct and authentic.

Together with musicians from the Cologne music scene, this creates a vibrant band sound that oscillates between intimacy and energy, remaining true to its slightly eccentric, offbeat nature.

With the band’s powerful yet agile sound—comprising Jakob Kühnemann, Philipp Brämswig, Tim Dudek, and Simon Seidl, who divides his time between Portugal and Cologne—an album unfolds that playfully juggles with effects while simultaneously winning over listeners with its honesty, elegance, and emotional openness. Between improvisational moments, poetic lyrics, and clear song structures, a sound emerges that defies easy categorization and derives its appeal precisely from this.

Lisa Kühnemann studied jazz and pop vocals at the Cologne University of Music and Dance.
Her musical career has taken her through various ensemble projects and international collaborations with Rhiannon, Theo Bleckmann, and Martin Fondse, which continue to shape her open-minded musical approach to this day. authentisch.
