Gabi Hartmann, singer songwriter, guitarist and producer, was born in Paris in 1991. She belongs to the atypical universe of an artist who blurs the lines between styles like pop, folk, jazz, soul and world music. She sings from inspiration, and she does so in several languages which help her escape from those usual categories. Over time, she has established a style that is completely her own, while also imposing ambiguous emotions. Her voice has a warm and limpid tone that is soft, nostalgic and soothing, and yet Gabi is one of that new generation of musicians who are less willing to show a sense of belonging to this or that music genre, to a pure tradition, but who prefer to cultivate perpetual renewal; her generation is on a quest for fusion, or mixtures, and their sensibilities are very much their own.

After taking the French charts by storm last year, her debut album was the best-selling jazz/world album of the year in France and she gave fascinating live performances in several countries such as Japan, Germany, Canada and the USA, Gabi Hartmann is now back with her new album ‘La femme aux yeux de sel’. On the 13 songs, most of which are sung in English and French, she once again moves between different styles and mixes jazz, pop, folk and soul. The tracks, some melancholic, some colourful and some full of rhythmic energy, create a world of their own, in which one can also discover the great role models Mercedes Sosa or Miriam Makeba time and again. With her warm, clear timbre, Gabi Hartmann has created a very personal and multi-faceted album that blends boundaries and styles and transports you into Gabi Hartmann’s own dream world.
