KOVACS - Catharsis

With sixty million YouTube views, a series of awards, and high-profile appearances at major festivals like Rock am Ring, Sharon Kovacs is on her way to becoming an international superstar.

Her dark, rough, unvarnished soul with clear echoes of the greats (Billie Holiday, Simone, Bassey, Amy Winehouse, Beth Gibbons from Portishead) exerts a magnetic pull that is hard to escape.
Her penultimate album "Child Of Sin" is one of the most open and honest records in a long time, and in "Catharsis", it overwhelmingly addresses finding the positive in the most difficult turns of life.

Deeply rooted in the musical heritage of soul music, Kovacs for the first time creates a total work of art in her new program, where she draws the audience into a magnetic pull both as a singer and as a performer – while remaining an enigmatic phenomenon.

The artist from the Netherlands has carved her own path through the twists and turns of life, enchanting the whole globe with her sultry allure. The Bond-like tango noir of her 2013 EP "My Love," partly recorded in Cuba, was an instant European hit, even reaching number one in Greece. In 2015, her debut album "Shades Of Black" charted in 36 countries, landing in the top ten in Germany and taking the number one spot in her native Netherlands.

Kovacs means music from the soul, sung with the power of a unique voice that drowns the audience in emotions.
