• Track Listing

A voice is always a voice. No other instrument in the world of music can be assigned to it's owner as unequivocally as human singing, because the voice is the acoustic union of soul and face. If an extraordinary voice is then also combined with the gift of being able to slip into different guises and, on top of that, has extraordinary stories up it's sleeve, then the end result might be an album as multifaceted, profound and vulnerable as Ina Forsman's "All There Is".

"All There Is" is the third album by the Berlin-based Finn. On her previous albums "Ina Forsman" (2016) and "Been Meaning To Tell You" (2019), she initially established herself as the powerful voice of her role models. On "All There Is" she ignites a new level of her expressively introspective self-realization by completely arriving at herself. The isolation associated with the lock-down may have encouraged this development, but the young singer had powers that wanted to be unleashed anyway. "Who am I, what am I doing here," she seems to ask us in every song. The emphasis is on I. She no longer relies on formulas that have worked for the last 50 years, but trusts in her very own vocabulary for the nocturnal atmospheres of her big city songs - sometimes in the shrill neon light, sometimes in the twilight of the nightshade.
