Andrea Motis is back with her latest solo project, Loopholes. Motis is a central part of the Spanish jazz scene, and on this new album, she embarks on a search for a completely new, unconventional style with her own compositions and those of her comrade-in-arms Christoph Mallinger. The compositions borrow from electric jazz, funk, and neo-soul. The twelve tracks feature Motis singing in Catalan, her mother tongue, as well as in Spanish, Portuguese, English, and German, and comments on her vocal expression alternately ? trained on both instruments ? with trumpet or saxophone. Andrea Motis, vocals, trumpet. Christoph Mallinger, guitar, violin, mandolin, backup vocals. Stephan Kondert, bass. Big Yuki, keyboards. Gregory Hutchinson, drums. Additional recordings by Ze Luis Nascimento on percussion and Raja Kassis on guitar (on tracks 4 and 9).
