From Berlin busker to boundary-pushing studio artist; a few years back you could stumble across Teresa Bergman singing on the streets of the German capital. Two record releases and numerous tours through Asia, New Zealand and Germany followed. Now, the singer and composer is releasing an intense, pop-soul album with jazz and folk elements; titled simply, 'Apart'. Created in collaboration with Bilderbuch producer, Zebo Adam, 'Apart' is a challenging album of separation; featuring experimental vocal arrangements, soulful strings and elaborate soundscapes. At its center, the most important instrument remains Bergman's rich and versatile voice. Influential German radio station, Deutschlandfunk Kultur, recently described the New Zealander as "the greatest talent we've discovered in the past year." Long established as a captivating live performer, Teresa Bergman's second studio album continues to set her brand of arty authenticity 'Apart'. 'Apart' is less folk inspired than the artist's first album, with many tracks finding their roots in a darker soul aesthetic, born of Bergman's heartfelt and often melancholic lyrics. "This album was about honing and tuning my sound", the singer recalls. "I wanted to unite the retro and modern, the arty and the approachable." Lush and sophisticated strings arrangements by English jazz-fusion musician Ben Barritt feature heavily on the record. Barritt further contributes some stunningly epic electric guitar solos. 'Apart' is an album of separation and redefinition, of entering darkness to find the light. It's about a difficult, yet positive choice made by the artist to set herself 'apart' from her culture, country and personal relationships and gain redefining perspective. "I hope this record inspires others to have the courage to let go of destructive patterns or relationships and stand apart - strong and full of self-love."
